bios has to be reflashed so goto gigabyte site to download latest bios for your board & correct bios flash program as in award not ami. do you have or can get a 3.5" floppy drive?
Indeed I do have a floppy drive & disk; although after visiting the Gigabyte Websight and reading further into flashing my BIOS it needs me to enter the BIOS menu. The Award BootBlock is prohibiting me form entering the BIOS menu. I don't have "Dual BIOS" & "Q-Flash" needs me to be in the Menu. Catch 22 type thing.
which version is the board as in v1/1.1 or v1.2? the flash utility program is part of the bios update as i just downloaded it to see. will fit on a bootable floppy disk
