Hi, Sorry I posted this here but I don't now where else. I need to flash an award bios for proper IRQ recognization and for larger HDD. There was a problem with these two things in my bios file. So I tried to flash it using an award flasher and the newest bios update. The M/B is asus txp4 and the last and probably original bios is 07/14/97. The bios I am trying to use a 11021_J2.bin, which enables the above problems and enables an amd-k2 or 3 cpu. Anyway, this is the right flash I am sure but it is always giving errors and does not flash. I used the newest award flasher 8.12 or something and started a minimal boot (with startup disk)and lauched the flasher, it asked me input the file and I did, then it told me not use the one directly from the motherboard which I did not. I am used to the new M/B which have the flasher built in, am I doing this right. Do I have to set the jumpers to enable boot block write. If anyone has answers or know about what I am doing wrong I would very greatful, Sorry for long post

Better be sorry.... you should have gone somewhere else.. WHAT were you thinking?!?... just kidding.. :) And you are absolutely sure that you are using the correct program and bios for your motherboard? Possibly some kind of flash protection enabled in bios?

I have discovered the dilemma here, I was using wring flasher for anyone who still cares about this board. You need pflash and a proper bios update file. thanks to Stev aatkinson who told me how.
