IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Before reprogramming the system BIOS, you must first do the following: 1. Programming the ROM chip installed in the system requires that you first enable programming as described on page 8 "Boot Block Programming". 2. Make sure the system is running in real mode. This utility will not operate if the system is under protected or virtual mode. This means that you can not reprogram the system BIOS under the Windows environment or with any memory management software, including HIMEM.SYS. If you have any memory management software running, disable them first. The following describes the easiest way to ensure that your system memory is free from these programs: • Boot from a floppy disk formatted with the "FORMAT A:/S" command without creating CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. • If you are using MS-DOS 6.x, you can bypass the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS by pressing when "Starting MS-DOS . . . " line is displayed on the screen. • For Windows 95 users, press to enter the Microsoft Windows 95 Startup Menu and then choose "Safe mode command prompt only" Once you have accomplished the above tasks, you can run the Flash Memory Writer utility. You can copy the contents of the \FLASH directory to your hard disk drive or to a backup floppy disk. When copying the files, ensure that the BIOS file is on the same directory as the utility. To run, change to the directory containing PFLASH.EXE and then at the DOS prompt, type: PFLASH IV. BIOS (Flash Memory Writer) 46 P/I-P55TP4N User's Manual
