PROBLEMA: solo per esperti in DOS

**vigo** · 5-09-2003, 23:48:27

Ciao
Devo aggiornare il bios della mia MS-6534.
ho seguito le istruzioni nel txt allegato al programmino di istallazione dell'aggiornamento, ma ho riscontrato un problema. Voglio precisare che il mio HDD e diviso in due partizioni:

C: boot (con file system di tipo NTFS)
D: backup (con file system di tipo FAT)

Il problema avviene quando, dopo aver riavviato il pc in modalit� ms-dos, digito:
C: <enter>
C:\dir <enter>
mi da la lista delle subdirettory presenti nel disco D: e non C:
e mi dice
Il volume nell'unit� D: � BOOT (ma come??)
se provo a fare
D: <enter>
mi dice che l'unit� non esiste

MA CHE SUCCEDE??????

tutto questo perch�, quando faccio partire il programmino
C:\ amifl827.exe (programma per riconfigurare il bios)
mi da degli errori di mancanza dati anche se il nuovo bios (A6534ims.140) � presente sul disco

non so pi� cosa dire se non AIUTATEMI A CAPIRE CHE SUCCEDE!
sono disponibile per ogni chiarimento

Vi posto il .txt allegato al bios (ho seguito la procedura C visto che parla di dischi di tipo non-FAT)

WARNING!!!!!
DON'T FLASH FROM A FLOPPY DISK!!!!
DON'T FLASH WHEN YOUR SYSTEM IS RUNNING FINE!!!!
DON'T FLASH IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!

A) Award BIOS Flash Procedure
(Special Thanks to Forum Moderator Bas for his valuable contribution)
1. Check your BIOS for BIOS FLASH DISABLED and ENABLE it, some boards have this function.
For Example:
K7N420 Pro (MS-6373) � BIOS setup/Integrated Peripherals/BIOS Protect/Disabled

2. Know Your model number
a. Open your case and look for the MS-XXXX number on the motherboard between the PCI slots, also check the version number that is written there as well. (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number)
b. Boot up your system & take a look at the top left screen during POST, you should see something like �W6373MS v2.1 122101� This means the board is MS-6373 with BIOS version 2.1
Hint: Many systems are clearing this message very fast, the bios version is then unreadable, you can either press �PAUSE� or disable the �Quick Boot� in the BIOS setup.

3. Download the BIOS that matches your motherboard AND version number (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number). BIOS can be found according to the CPU type of your board like if your CPU is Intel P4 478 type then look here
http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/socket_478.php
if you cannot find the BIOS that matches your board, try here http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/more.php

4. Extract the BIOS-archive that you have downloaded by double clicking to c:\test

5. Boot your system from a Win98 or WinME boot-floppy.
How to make boot floppy in case your don�t have it ready:
For Win9X, You can type [C:\ format a:/s] from the DOS prompt.
For WinMe, You can make a boot floppy from control panel--> add/remove program-->make boot floppy. Remove autoexec.bat & config.sys file if there's any.
For Win2000, there's no way to make boot floppy, so you have to either use Win9X or WinME boot floppy.
For WinXP, you can make a DOS boot disk. Go to Your Computer, right click drive A:, select Format, select copy system files.

7. When you get the A:\ prompt, type the following sequence:
C: <enter>
cd\test <enter>
C:\test> awdfl783m BIOS file
(to save or not to save old BIOS is the user�s decision)

8. Reboot your system when prompted

P.S. If your system doesn't boot after you flashed, please refer to the BIOS recovery method as described http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/note.htm

B) AMI BIOS Flash Procedure
(Special Thanks to Forum Moderator Bas for his valuable contribution)
1. Check your BIOS for BIOS FLASH DISABLED and ENABLE it, some boards have this function.
For Example:
K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) �BIOS setup/chipset setup/BIOS protection/disabled

2. Know Your model number
a. Open your case and look for the MS-XXXX number on the motherboard between the PCI slots, also check the version number that is written there as well. (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number)
b. Boot up your system & take a look at the top left screen during POST, you should see something like �A6380MS v1.7 122101� This means the board is MS-6380 with BIOS version 1.7
Hint: Many systems are clearing this message very fast, the bios version is then unreadable, you can either press �PAUSE� or disable the �Quick Boot� in the BIOS setup.

3. Download the BIOS that matches your motherboard AND version number (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number). BIOS can be found according to the CPU type of your board like if your CPU is Intel P4 478 type then look here

C) Flashing the BIOS for Non-FAT file system (Thanks to Forum Moderator Assaf for his valuable contribution)
1.Check your BIOS for BIOS FLASH DISABLED and ENABLE it, some boards have this function.For Example:
K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) -BIOS setup/chipset setup/BIOS protection/disabled

2.Know Your model number
a. Open your case and look for the MS-XXXX number on the motherboard between the PCI slots, also check the version number that is written there as well. (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number)
b. Boot up your system & take a look at the top left screen during POST, you should see something like "A6380MS v1.7 122101" This means the board is MS-6380 with BIOS version 1.7
Hint: Many systems are clearing this message very fast, the bios version is then unreadable, you can either press �PAUSE� or disable the �Quick Boot� in the BIOS setup.

3.Download the BIOS that matches your motherboard AND version number (some motherboards are named like K7T Turbo, make sure you have the right version number). BIOS can be found according to the CPU type of your board like if your CPU is Intel P4 478 type then look here
<http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/socket_478.php>
if you cannot find the BIOS that matches your board, try here <http://www.msi.com.tw/support/bios/more.php>

4.Extract the file you have downloaded to a floppy (not the win ME/98 startup floppy) by double clocking the file in windows mode and supplying the path a:\

5.Boot the computer using a windows ME or windows 98 startup disk. It must be one of these! A plain boot disk will not be good enogh.
If you do not have Windows ME or 98 to create the floppy you can make one on a friend's computer.

6.When boot is done there will be a message on the screen showing :"Diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive" followed by a single letter.
This letter is the leter assigned to the RAMDRIVE. This RAMDRIVE is a virtual drive in the system memory and can be accessed and controlled like any other drive with DOS commands such as:
MD - Make Directory
Copy - copy a file
Deleate - Deleate a file

There is one important difference which is that being in the system memory this drive is wiped once the computer is restarted or shut down.

7.Replace the startup floppy with the one containing the flash utility and bios ROM files previously extracted in windows.

8.Copy the 2 files to the RAMDRIVE by using the DOS command copy.
Here is an example, in this example the flash utility is AWFL814B.EXE ,the ROM file is w6373nms.220 and the RAMDRIVE letter assignment is D

copy awfl814b.exe d:\
copy w6337nms.220 d:\

9.Change the current working directory to the RAMDRIVE root directory, with the example case of the RAMDRIVE being drive D this is done by simply done with the command d:

10.Execute the flash utility with the ROM file as a command line argument, with this example:
awfl814b w6373nms.220

If you wish to save the current bios you must specify the full path a:\filename. Specifying only a file name will save the bios to the RAMDRIVE which will be wiped after restarting the computer and the file will not be saved.

a:\bios.old is an example of the correct way to save the bios.

11.Reboot your system when prompted

12. If your system doesn't boot after you flashed, please refer to the BIOS recovery method as described

quindi e' una scheda madre con chip sis.....se riesci ad aggiornare il bios dimmelo....lo devo fare...ma ho paura di sbagliare

.....se riesci ad aggiornare il bios dimmelo....

speriamo...

cmq se ci riesco ti faccio sapere

**TheBeast1981** · 6-09-2003, 00:54:31

Non trovi la partizione C: xch� la versione di DOS che usi non supporta il filesystem NTFS....infatti ti d� come unit� c: la partizione logica D: ......inserisci un floppy vuoto e formattalo con WinXP (o 2000) e seleziona crea un disco avviabile!

**Fallout** · 6-09-2003, 11:23:03

quando io feci l' aggiornamento BIOS 1 anno fa... c'era scritto di formattare il floppy come unit� di disco di avvio DOS (cosa che ci fa anche con il comando "sys a:" ) e poi di riversarci dentro i file x l' aggiornamento BIOS.

**devilheart** · 6-09-2003, 15:23:16

ovviamente nn puoi leggere l'ntfs con dischetti di avvio a meno che nn hai ntfsdos. la procedura di flashing pu� essere eseguita da dischetto senza nessuna controindicazione. ovviamente se salta la luce o il disco � tarocco e da problemi di lettura mentre aggiorni succede un casino.

sono passato da winME a WinXP circa un annetto fa quindi il dos � rimasto FAT32 ma il file sys di tipo NTFS.
Non c'� un modo per aggiornare il DOS in formato NTFS o che possa supportare NTFS?

**vigo** · 6-09-2003, 15:59:51

ho appena scoperto che serve un programma chiamato ntfstool pro che costa la modica cifra di 250$ (suca )

c'� anche la versione a sola lettura che � gratis. ovviamente � inutile x aggiornare il bios.

ah s�?
interessante!
qual'� il sito ufficiale?
ma siamo sicuri che nn crei casini scrivendo da dos in una partizione NTFS?

copi il programma per aggiornare il bios e il file del bios su un dischetto di avvio, avvii con il dischetto e lanci il programma per aggiornare.
