Im not sure if this is the correct forum but here it goes. I have an Asus P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard. Two harddisks, 1 SATA w/OS and 1 IDE w/data. After I first installed WinXP on my SATA disk, I updated the BIOS and somehow the SATA driver for it seemed to be deleted/missing, therefor I needed to install WinXP again. Now, I didn't mind because it was a fresh install. How can I flash/update my BIOS now without losing that SATA driver? Also my settings seemed to reset after an update. I've had more Asus motherboards (P4P533 and A7V8X-X) and with those the settings never jumped to default after flashing. Thanks in advanced,
