Hi,
I have a nasty problem. Long story short: needed to upgrade my bios,
in spite of precautions it failed and turned my pc into useless scraps
of metal
. I know that there is a way to boot your pc holding ctrl +
home to load the good bios, but this is what I don't get. Every
support site tells me that with an ami bios, I just need to rename the
..rom file into amibios.rom and do the ctrl + home thing, and if I have
an award bios, I need to make a bootdisk. I can't seem to figure out
what I have. I downloaded the original bios (which I tried to upgrade
from) which has two files: AMIFL827 and a6398iMS.310. Since the first
file said AMI I figured this would have to be an AMI bios (Even though
I think I remember the word Award bios flashing before me day after
day
) so I tried the amiboot.rom rename thing but ofcourse this
didn't work because it wasn't a .rom file in the first place. Then I
made an autoexec.bat file with these lines:
A:\AMIFL827 a6398iMS.310 /A /py /sn /Sb /cd /cp /cc /R
But when I boot my pc with this floppy in it, nothing happens (which I
expected, but this was supposed to be the way to do it.) Can anyone
please help me what to do? I'm kinda lost
