Who has flashed their Epox 8k7a to the 1711 bios?

[DARRIN]

Any problems? Any dead motherboards?

I'm using it now. Not one problem.

 

[DARRIN]

I just get nervous flashing after frying my mothers computer.

I flashed to it first thing after getting my raid version of the mboard, not one problem.

I was going to flash mine today, but then i saw that it said that i had to make a bootable DOS disk and then add the file to it. Then i realized i dont know how to make a bootable DOS disk. Can anyone help me on this one?

you dont have to with the 8k7a.

Take a blank floppy. Stick the .rom file on it. Reboot, hit Alt+f2 during post. Hit enter a few times. Ta da.


But to make a bootable floppy go into control panel - add/remove programs - startup. Or in command prompt type format a: /s Depends on what kind of bootable disk ya want.

squrrelman, download this file, it is a custom made disk for flashing BIOSes, basically, it just doesn't have the drivers so you don't have to wait while it sets up all the drivers to get to the A:\ prompt. I haven't used it, but it makes sense. I'll be using it tomorrow when I update my 8K7A's bios (once I get it set up- TunaBoo over there wants me to lap my heatsink ).

Eh, just put it on your hard drive, hit F8 while booting, select safe command prompt, get to the file and flash. No need for floppy for this one.
