| 576 08/14/08 Translate | Recovery From Bad BIOS Update I was having some bad problems with my new computer I built so I decided to upgrade the BIOS after reading about the errors I was getting. I downloaded the BIOS image and flashed it, but I flashed it incorrectly because I didn't read the documentation first :-). The computer wouldn't POST anymore -- it just beeped at me and showed nothing on the screen. I thought I just bricked my brand new motherboard. I researched more and found that AMI, the manufacturer of my BIOS, knows that there are people like me who don't read documentation before messing with their computers. (I should note that I have upgraded firmware on our production NAS disk array at work with no problems. I only read documentation when my job depends on it.) Anyway, AMI BIOSes have a built-in recovery mechanism. All I had to do was put a copy of the new BIOS image on a floppy and boot the messed up computer. The BIOS detects that it's corrupt (bad checksum or something) and then looks for a file called AMIBIOS.ROM from the floppy. I reprograms itself and then the computer continues to boot normally. I tried it and it worked perfectly! The hardest part was finding a floppy disk. I was so pumped that it worked. I was having some bad problems with my new computer I built so I decided to upgrade the BIOS after reading about the errors I was getting. J'ai été une mauvaise avoir des problèmes avec mon nouvel ordinateur, j'ai construit, j'ai décidé de mise à jour le BIOS après avoir lu sur les erreurs je recevais. I downloaded the BIOS image and flashed it, but I flashed it incorrectly because I didn't read the documentation first :-). J'ai téléchargé le BIOS image et flashé, mais je flashé il mal parce que je n'ai pas lu la Documentation Premier :-). The computer wouldn't POST anymore -- it just beeped at me and showed nothing on the screen. L'ordinateur ne serait pas plus POSTE - beeped juste à moi et n'a rien révélé sur l'écran. I thought I just bricked my brand new motherboard. Je pensais que je viens de ma marque bricked nouvelle carte mère. I researched more and found that AMI, the manufacturer of my BIOS, knows that there are people like me who don't read documentation before messing with their computers. J'ai fait des recherches plus et a constaté que l'AMI, le fabricant de mon BIOS, sait qu'il ya des gens comme moi qui ne lisent pas la documentation avant de jouer avec leurs ordinateurs. (I should note that I have upgraded firmware on our production NAS disk array at work with no problems. I only read documentation when my job depends on it.) Anyway, AMI BIOSes have a built-in recovery mechanism. (Je tiens à souligner que j'ai mis à niveau le microprogramme sur notre production NAS matrice de disques sur le lieu de travail sans problèmes. Je ne lire la documentation lors de mon travail en dépend.) Quoi qu'il en soit, AMI BIOS ont intégré un mécanisme de recouvrement en. All I had to do was put a copy of the new BIOS image on a floppy and boot the messed up computer. Tout ce que j'avais à faire était de mettre une copie de la nouvelle image du BIOS sur une disquette de démarrage et l'incohérent ordinateur. The BIOS detects that it's corrupt (bad checksum or something) and then looks for a file called AMIBIOS.ROM from the floppy. Le BIOS détecte que c'est la corruption (bad checksum ou quelque chose) et puis cherche un fichier nommé AMIBIOS.ROM de la disquette. I reprograms itself and then the computer continues to boot normally. Je reprogramme lui-même et puis l'ordinateur continue à démarrer normalement. I tried it and it worked perfectly! J'ai essayé et ça a marché parfaitement! The hardest part was finding a floppy disk. Le plus difficile était de trouver une disquette. I was so pumped that it worked. J'étais tellement pompé que ça a marché. I was having some bad problems with my new computer I built so I decided to upgrade the BIOS after reading about the errors I was getting. Yo estaba teniendo algunos problemas de mal con mi nuevo equipo construido para que me decidí a actualizar el BIOS después de leer acerca de los errores fui recibiendo. I downloaded the BIOS image and flashed it, but I flashed it incorrectly because I didn't read the documentation first :-). He descargado la imagen de la BIOS y destellaban, pero que destellaban incorrectamente porque no he leído la primera documentación :-). The computer wouldn't POST anymore -- it just beeped at me and showed nothing on the screen. El ordenador ya no POST - sólo beeped a mí y mostró nada en la pantalla. I thought I just bricked my brand new motherboard. Pensé que sólo ladrillera mi nueva placa base. I researched more and found that AMI, the manufacturer of my BIOS, knows that there are people like me who don't read documentation before messing with their computers. Investigué más y encontró que AMI, el fabricante de mi BIOS, sabe que hay gente como yo que no lea la documentación antes de jugar con sus equipos. (I should note that I have upgraded firmware on our production NAS disk array at work with no problems. I only read documentation when my job depends on it.) Anyway, AMI BIOSes have a built-in recovery mechanism. (Debo señalar que he actualizado el firmware a nuestra producción NAS matriz de disco en el trabajo sin problemas. I sólo leer la documentación cuando mi trabajo depende de ello.) De todos modos, AMI BIOS tiene un built-in mecanismo de recuperación. All I had to do was put a copy of the new BIOS image on a floppy and boot the messed up computer. Todo lo que tenía que hacer era poner una copia de la nueva imagen de la BIOS en un disquete y arrancar el ordenador en mal estado. The BIOS detects that it's corrupt (bad checksum or something) and then looks for a file called AMIBIOS.ROM from the floppy. El BIOS detecta que se trata de corruptos (mal de comprobación o algo) y luego busca un archivo llamado AMIBIOS.ROM desde el disquete. I reprograms itself and then the computer continues to boot normally. I reprograms propio y, a continuación, el ordenador sigue a arrancar normalmente. I tried it and it worked perfectly! He probado y funcionó perfectamente! The hardest part was finding a floppy disk. La parte más difícil fue encontrar un disquete. I was so pumped that it worked. Estaba tan bombeado que funcionó. I was having some bad problems with my new computer I built so I decided to upgrade the BIOS after reading about the errors I was getting. Ich hatte einige schlechte Probleme mit meinem neuen Rechner, den ich gebaut, damit ich beschlossen, die BIOS-Upgrade nach dem Lesen über die Fehler war ich immer. I downloaded the BIOS image and flashed it, but I flashed it incorrectly because I didn't read the documentation first :-). Ich habe das BIOS-Image und blitzten sie, aber ich geblitzte es falsch, weil ich nicht lesen Sie die Dokumentation erster :-). The computer wouldn't POST anymore -- it just beeped at me and showed nothing on the screen. Der Computer würde keine Beiträge mehr - es nur beeped auf und zeigte mir nichts auf dem Bildschirm. I thought I just bricked my brand new motherboard. Ich dachte, ich meine nur zugemauert brandneue Motherboard. I researched more and found that AMI, the manufacturer of my BIOS, knows that there are people like me who don't read documentation before messing with their computers. Ich recherchierte weiter und stellte fest, dass AMI, der Hersteller meines BIOS, weiß, dass es Menschen gibt wie mich, keine Dokumentation lesen, bevor auf, mit ihren Computern. (I should note that I have upgraded firmware on our production NAS disk array at work with no problems. I only read documentation when my job depends on it.) Anyway, AMI BIOSes have a built-in recovery mechanism. (I werden darauf hingewiesen, dass ich ein Upgrade der Firmware in unserer Produktion NAS Disk-Array bei der Arbeit ohne Probleme. Ich habe nur Dokumentation lesen, wenn mein Job hängt davon ab.) Anyway, AMI BIOS haben einen eingebauten Mechanismus. All I had to do was put a copy of the new BIOS image on a floppy and boot the messed up computer. Alles, was ich tun musste, war eine Kopie des neuen BIOS-Image auf eine Diskette und booten Sie den Computer messed up. The BIOS detects that it's corrupt (bad checksum or something) and then looks for a file called AMIBIOS.ROM from the floppy. Das BIOS erkennt, dass es beschädigt (schlecht Prüfsumme oder etwas) und dann sucht nach einer Datei namens AMIBIOS.ROM von der Diskette. I reprograms itself and then the computer continues to boot normally. Ich reprograms selbst und dann den Computer weiter zu booten normal. I tried it and it worked perfectly! Ich versuchte es und es funktionierte perfekt! The hardest part was finding a floppy disk. Der schwierigste Teil war der Suche nach einer Diskette. I was so pumped that it worked. Ich war so gepumpt, dass es funktionierte. Comments |

Anyway, my Dad lost a PC like this once. I step into BIOS updates now with fear and trembling! My recent Mac and ThinkPad BIOS updates went really well recently. They basically handle it for you, a surprise to me. I didn't see anything but windows restarting in the entire process after I approved it.

I am glad it worked out for you. Keep it real.
