Recovering a Corrupt AWARD BIOS

Boot Block Recovery For Free

You don't need to pay a measly sum of dollars just to recover from a
boot block mode. Here it is folks:

AWARD Bootblock recovery:

That shorting trick should work if the boot block code is not corrupted,
and it should not be if /sb switch is used when flashing the bios
(instead of /wb switch).

The 2 pins to short to force a checksum error varies from chip to chip.
But these are usually the highest-numbered address pins (A10 and above).

These are the pins used by the system to read the System BIOS
(original.bin for award v6), calculate the ROM checksum and see if it's
valid before decompressing it into memory, and subsequently allow
Bootblock POST to pass control over to the System BIOS.

You just have to fool the system into believing that the System BIOS is
corrupt. This you do by giving your system a hard time reading the
System BIOS by shorting the 2 high address pins. And when it could not
read the System BIOS properly, ROM Checksum Error is detected "so to
speak" and Bootblock recovery is activated.

Sometimes, any combination of the high address pins won't work to force
a checksum error in some chips, like my Winbond W49F002U. But shorting
the #WE pin with the highest-numbered address pin (A17) worked for this
chip. You just have to be experimentative if you're not comfortable with
"hot flashing" or "replacement BIOS".

But to avoid further damage to your chip if you're not sure which are
the correct pins to short, measure the potential between the 2 pins by a
voltmeter while the system is on. If the voltage reading is zero (or no
potential at all), it is safe to short these pins.

But do not short the pins while the system is on. Instead, power down
then do the short, then power up while still shorting. And as soon as
you hear 3 beeps (1 long, 2 short), remove the short at once so that
automatic reflashing from Drive A can proceed without errors (assuming
you had autoexec.bat in it).

About how to do the shorting, the tip of a screwdriver would do. But
with such minute pins on the PLCC chip, I'm pretty comfortable doing it
with the tip of my multi-tester or voltmeter probe. Short the pins at
the point where they come out of the chip.

AMIBIOS Recovery bootblock:
1. Copy a known working BIOS image for your board to a floppy and rename
it to AMIBOOT.ROM.
2. Insert the floppy in your system's floppydrive.
3. Power on the system while holding CTRL+Home keys. Release the keys
when you hear a beep and/or see the floppy light coming on.
4 . Just wait until you hear 4 beeps. When 4 beeps are heard the
reprogramming of the System Block BIOS went succesfull, so then you may
restart your system.

Some alternative keys that can be used to force BIOS update (only the
System Block will be updated so it's quite safe):
CTRL+Home= restore missing code into system block and clear CMOS when
programming went ok.
CTRL+Page Up= restore missing code into system block and clear CMOS or
DMI when programming went ok.
CTRL+Page Down= restore missing code into system block and do not clear
CMOS and DMI area when programming went ok
Btw: the alternative keys work only with AMIBIOS 7 or higher (so for
example an AMI 6.26 BIOS can be only recovered by using CTRL+Home keys).

************************************************
BLACKOUT Flashing
*************************************************

Recovering a Corrupt AMI BIOS chip
With motherboards that use BOOT BLOCK BIOS it is possible to recover a
corrupted BIOS because the BOOT BLOCK section of the BIOS, which is
responsible for booting the computer remains unmodified. When an AMI
BIOS becomes corrupt the system will appear to start, but nothing will
appear on the screen, the floppy drive light will come on and the system
will access the floppy drive repeatedly. If your motherboard has an ISA
slot and you have an old ISA video card lying around, put the ISA video
card in your system and connect the monitor. The BOOT BLOCK section of
the BIOS only supports ISA video cards, so if you do not have an ISA
video card or your motherboard does not have ISA slots, you will have to
restore your BIOS blind, with no monitor to show you what's going on.

AMI has integrated a recovery routine into the BOOT BLOCK of the BIOS,
which in the event the BIOS becomes corrupt can be used to restore the
BIOS to a working state. The routine is called when the SYSTEM BLOCK of
the BIOS is empty. The restore routine will access the floppy drive
looking for a BIOS file names AMIBOOT.ROM, this is why the floppy drive
light comes on and the drive spins. If the file is found it is loaded
into the SYSTEM BLOCK of the BIOS to replace the missing information. To
restore your BIOS simply copy a working BIOS file to a floppy diskette
and rename it AMIBOOT.ROM, then insert it into the computer while the
power is on. The diskette does not need to be bootable or contain a
flash utility. After about four minutes the system will beep four times.
Remove the floppy diskette from the drive and reboot the computer. The
BIOS should now be restored.

Recovering a Corrupt AWARD BIOS
With AWARD BIOS the process is similar but still a bit different. To
recover an AWARD BIOS you will need to create a floppy diskette with a
working BIOS file in .BIN format, an AWARD flash utility and an
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. AWARD BIOS will not automatically restore the BIOS
information to the SYSTEM BLOCK for this reason you will need to add the
commands necessary to flash the BIOS in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The
system will run the AUTOEXE.BAT file, which will in turn flash the BIOS.
This is fairly easy. Here are the steps you need to take.

· Create a bootable floppy diskette
· Copy the BIOS file and flash utility to the diskette
· Create an text file with any standard text editor and add the
following lines

@ECHO OFF
FLASH763 BIOSFILE.BIN /py

In the above example I am assuming that you are using the FLASH763.EXE
flash utility. You will need to replace the FLASH763 with the name of
whatever flash utility you are using, and replace the BIOSFILE.BIN with
the name of the BIOS file you are using. You will also need to change
the '/py' to whatever the command is for your flash utility to
automatically program the BIOS without user intervention. If you do not
know the command to automatically flash your BIOS type the name of the
flash utility with a space and then /? to display the utility's help
screen. The help screen should pecify the command switch to
automatically flash your BIOS. If you are using the FLASH763.EXE utility
then the switch to automatically flash your BIOS is '/py'.

How To Rename Multiple Files In Winxp

XP lets you rename files in bulk by simply selecting multiple files within Windows Explorer and pressing the F2 key. When you use this feature, the OS applies the name you enter to the first file and applies the same name with a number in parentheses to the other files you selected (the file extensions remain unchanged).

For example, if you select the following files,
* notes.doc
* figures.xls
* disney.jpg
* holiday.gif

and rename the first file (notes.doc) to SoD.doc, XP renames the remaining files as follows:
* SoD (1).xls
* SoD (2).jpg
* SoD(3).gif

How To Speed Up A Slow Computer

How To Speed Up A Slow Computer

first off in the bottom right hand corner of your computer if you see
alot of icons start up there when you first start your computer then
this is for you if you dont know already how to get rid of em.

Press your Start Button (bottom left) and go to "run"
now type in: msconfig
now you will get a box that pops up and will tell you bunch of stuff
dont mess with anything else other than what I tell you otherwise you
could do something really bad (possible) go to your "startup" tab on the
top right of the screen where it usually is and click it.

Now you will have a closed in box with bunch of filenames n addresses
and more boxes with checks in them. Now if your like me you dont want
anything startin up when you start you computer up or while your even
doing anything cause it slows you down. Now unless your like me right
now 1 have 1 thing starting up when my computer starts up and thats my
settin for my overclocked vid card. But other than that uncheck every
box and then hit apply and ok. Then window you were jus in will now
close and ask you if you want to restart or wait till later to restart.

Either way when you shut it off and then turn it back on the settins
will kick in

10 reasons why PCs crash U must Know

10 reasons why PCs crash U must Know


  • Fatal error: the system has become unstable or is busy," it says. "Enter to return to Windows or press Control-Alt-Delete to restart your computer. If you do this you will lose any unsaved information in all open applications."
  • You have just been struck by the Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who uses Mcft Windows will be familiar with this. What can you do? More importantly, how can you prevent it happening?
1 Hardware conflict
  • The number one reason why Windows crashes is hardware conflict. Each hardware device communicates to other devices through an interrupt request channel (IRQ). These are supposed to be unique for each device.
  • For example, a printer usually connects internally on IRQ 7. The keyboard usually uses IRQ 1 and the floppy disk drive IRQ 6. Each device will try to hog a single IRQ for itself.
  • If there are a lot of devices, or if they are not installed properly, two of them may end up sharing the same IRQ number. When the user tries to use both devices at the same time, a crash can happen. The way to check if your computer has a hardware conflict is through the following route:
  • * Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device Manager.
  • Often if a device has a problem a yellow '!' appears next to its description in the Device Manager. Highlight Computer (in the Device Manager) and press Properties to see the IRQ numbers used by your computer. If the IRQ number appears twice, two devices may be using it.
  • Sometimes a device might share an IRQ with something described as 'IRQ holder for PCI steering'. This can be ignored. The best way to fix this problem is to remove the problem device and reinstall it.
  • Sometimes you may have to find more recent drivers on the internet to make the device function properly. A good resource is www.driverguide.com. If the device is a soundcard, or a modem, it can often be fixed by moving it to a different slot on the motherboard (be careful about opening your computer, as you may void the warranty).
  • When working inside a computer you should switch it off, unplug the mains lead and touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
  • To be fair to Mcft, the problem with IRQ numbers is not of its making. It is a legacy problem going back to the first PC designs using the IBM 8086 chip. Initially there were only eight IRQs. Today there are 16 IRQs in a PC. It is easy to run out of them. There are plans to increase the number of IRQs in future designs.
2 Bad Ram
  • Ram (random-access memory) problems might bring on the blue screen of death with a message saying Fatal Exception Error. A fatal error indicates a serious hardware problem. Sometimes it may mean a part is damaged and will need replacing.
  • But a fatal error caused by Ram might be caused by a mismatch of chips. For example, mixing 70-nanosecond (70ns) Ram with 60ns Ram will usually force the computer to run all the Ram at the slower speed. This will often crash the machine if the Ram is overworked.
  • One way around this problem is to enter the BIOS settings and increase the wait state of the Ram. This can make it more stable. Another way to troubleshoot a suspected Ram problem is to rearrange the Ram chips on the motherboard, or take some of them out. Then try to repeat the circumstances that caused the crash. When handling Ram try not to touch the gold connections, as they can be easily damaged.
  • Parity error messages also refer to Ram. Modern Ram chips are either parity (ECC) or non parity (non-ECC). It is best not to mix the two types, as this can be a cause of trouble.
  • EMM386 error messages refer to memory problems but may not be connected to bad Ram. This may be due to free memory problems often linked to old Dos-based programmes.

  • Every motherboard is supplied with a range of chipset settings that are decided in the factory. A common way to access these settings is to press the F2 or delete button during the first few seconds of a boot-up.
  • Once inside the BIOS, great care should be taken. It is a good idea to write down on a piece of paper all the settings that appear on the screen. That way, if you change something and the computer becomes more unstable, you will know what settings to revert to.
  • A common BIOS error concerns the CAS latency. This refers to the Ram. Older EDO (extended data out) Ram has a CAS latency of 3. Newer SDRam has a CAS latency of 2. Setting the wrong figure can cause the Ram to lock up and freeze the computer's display.
  • Mcft Windows is better at allocating IRQ numbers than any BIOS. If possible set the IRQ numbers to Auto in the BIOS. This will allow Windows to allocate the IRQ numbers (make sure the BIOS setting for Plug and Play OS is switched to 'yes' to allow Windows to do this.).
4 Hard disk drives
  • After a few weeks, the information on a hard disk drive starts to become piecemeal or fragmented. It is a good idea to defragment the hard disk every week or so, to prevent the disk from causing a screen freeze. Go to
  • * Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Disk Defragmenter
  • This will start the procedure. You will be unable to write data to the hard drive (to save it) while the disk is defragmenting, so it is a good idea to schedule the procedure for a period of inactivity using the Task Scheduler.
  • The Task Scheduler should be one of the small icons on the bottom right of the Windows opening page (the desktop).
  • Some lockups and screen freezes caused by hard disk problems can be solved by reducing the read-ahead optimisation. This can be adjusted by going to
  • * Start-Settings-Control Panel-System Icon-Performance-File System-Hard Disk.
  • Hard disks will slow down and crash if they are too full. Do some housekeeping on your hard drive every few months and free some space on it. Open the Windows folder on the C drive and find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Deleting the contents (not the folder) can free a lot of space.
  • Empty the Recycle Bin every week to free more space. Hard disk drives should be scanned every week for errors or bad sectors. Go to
  • * Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-ScanDisk
  • Otherwise assign the Task Scheduler to perform this operation at night when the computer is not in use.
5 Fatal OE exceptions and VXD errors
  • Fatal OE exception errors and VXD errors are often caused by video card problems.
  • These can often be resolved easily by reducing the resolution of the video display. Go to
  • * Start-Settings-Control Panel-Display-Settings
  • Here you should slide the screen area bar to the left. Take a look at the colour settings on the left of that window. For most desktops, high colour 16-bit depth is adequate.
  • If the screen freezes or you experience system lockups it might be due to the video card. Make sure it does not have a hardware conflict. Go to
  • * Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device Manager
  • Here, select the + beside Display Adapter. A line of text describing your video card should appear. Select it (make it blue) and press properties. Then select Resources and select each line in the window. Look for a message that says No Conflicts.
  • If you have video card hardware conflict, you will see it here. Be careful at this point and make a note of everything you do in case you make things worse.
  • The way to resolve a hardware conflict is to uncheck the Use Automatic Settings box and hit the Change Settings button. You are searching for a setting that will display a No Conflicts message.
  • Another useful way to resolve video problems is to go to
  • * Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Performance-Graphics
  • Here you should move the Hardware Acceleration slider to the left. As ever, the most common cause of problems relating to graphics cards is old or faulty drivers (a driver is a small piece of software used by a computer to communicate with a device).
  • Look up your video card's manufacturer on the internet and search for the most recent drivers for it.
6 Viruses
  • Often the first sign of a virus infection is instability. Some viruses erase the boot sector of a hard drive, making it impossible to start. This is why it is a good idea to create a Windows start-up disk. Go to
  • * Start-Settings-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs
  • Here, look for the Start Up Disk tab. Virus protection requires constant vigilance.
  • A virus scanner requires a list of virus signatures in order to be able to identify viruses. These signatures are stored in a DAT file. DAT files should be updated weekly from the website of your antivirus software manufacturer.
  • An excellent antivirus programme is McAfee VirusScan by Network Associates ( www.nai.com). Another is Norton AntiVirus 2000, made by Symantec ( www.symantec.com).
7 Printers
  • The action of sending a document to print creates a bigger file, often called a postscript file.
  • Printers have only a small amount of memory, called a buffer. This can be easily overloaded. Printing a document also uses a considerable amount of CPU power. This will also slow down the computer's performance.
  • If the printer is trying to print unusual characters, these might not be recognised, and can crash the computer. Sometimes printers will not recover from a crash because of confusion in the buffer. A good way to clear the buffer is to unplug the printer for ten seconds. Booting up from a powerless state, also called a cold boot, will restore the printer's default settings and you may be able to carry on.
8 Software
  • A common cause of computer crash is faulty or badly-installed software. Often the problem can be cured by uninstalling the software and then reinstalling it. Use Norton Uninstall or Uninstall Shield to remove an application from your system properly. This will also remove references to the programme in the System Registry and leaves the way clear for a completely fresh copy.
  • The System Registry can be corrupted by old references to obsolete software that you thought was uninstalled. Use Reg Cleaner by Jouni Vuorio to clean up the System Registry and remove obsolete entries. It works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows Millennium Edition (ME), NT4 and Windows 2000.
  • Read the instructions and use it carefully so you don't do permanent damage to the Registry. If the Registry is damaged you will have to reinstall your operating system. Reg Cleaner can be obtained from www.jv16.org
  • Often a Windows problem can be resolved by entering Safe Mode. This can be done during start-up. When you see the message "Starting Windows" press F4. This should take you into Safe Mode.
  • Safe Mode loads a minimum of drivers. It allows you to find and fix problems that prevent Windows from loading properly.
  • Sometimes installing Windows is difficult because of unsuitable BIOS settings. If you keep getting SUWIN error messages (Windows setup) during the Windows installation, then try entering the BIOS and disabling the CPU internal cache. Try to disable the Level 2 (L2) cache if that doesn't work.
  • Remember to restore all the BIOS settings back to their former settings following installation.
9 Overheating
  • Central processing units (CPUs) are usually equipped with fans to keep them cool. If the fan fails or if the CPU gets old it may start to overheat and generate a particular kind of error called a kernel error. This is a common problem in chips that have been overclocked to operate at higher speeds than they are supposed to.
  • One remedy is to get a bigger better fan and install it on top of the CPU. Specialist cooling fans/heatsinks are available from www.computernerd.com or www.coolit.com
  • CPU problems can often be fixed by disabling the CPU internal cache in the BIOS. This will make the machine run more slowly, but it should also be more stable.
10 Power supply problems
  • With all the new construction going on around the country the steady supply of electricity has become disrupted. A power surge or spike can crash a computer as easily as a power cut.
  • If this has become a nuisance for you then consider buying a uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This will give you a clean power supply when there is electricity, and it will give you a few minutes to perform a controlled shutdown in case of a power cut.
  • It is a good investment if your data are critical, because a power cut will cause any unsaved data to be lost.--

Change Text on XP Start Button

Step 1 - Modify Explorer.exe File

In order to make the changes, the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows needs to be edited. Since explorer.exe is a binary file it requires a special editor. For purposes of this article I have used Resource Hacker. Resource HackerTM is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems.

get this from h**p://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/tools/ResHack.zip

The first step is to make a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer. Place it in a folder somewhere on your hard drive where it will be safe. Start Resource Hacker and open explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer.exe.

The category we are going to be using is "String Table". Expand it by clicking the plus sign then navigate down to and expand string 37 followed by highlighting 1033. If you are using the Classic Layout rather than the XP Layout, use number 38. The right hand pane will display the stringtable. We’re going to modify item 578, currently showing the word “start” just as it displays on the current Start button.

There is no magic here. Just double click on the word “start” so that it’s highlighted, making sure the quotation marks are not part of the highlight. They need to remain in place, surrounding the new text that you’ll type. Go ahead and type your new entry. In my case I used Click Me!

You’ll notice that after the new text string has been entered the Compile Script button that was grayed out is now active. I won’t get into what’s involved in compiling a script, but suffice it to say it’s going to make this exercise worthwhile. Click Compile Script and then save the altered file using the Save As command on the File Menu. Do not use the Save command – Make sure to use the Save As command and choose a name for the file. Save the newly named file to C:\Windows.


Step 2 – Modify the Registry

!!!make a backup of your registry before making changes!!!

Now that the modified explorer.exe has been created it’s necessary to modify the registry so the file will be recognized when the user logs on to the system. If you don’t know how to access the registry I’m not sure this article is for you, but just in case it’s a temporary memory lapse, go to Start (soon to be something else) Run and type regedit in the Open field. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon

In the right pane, double click the "Shell" entry to open the Edit String dialog box. In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file. Click OK.

Close Registry Editor and either log off the system and log back in, or reboot the entire system if that’s your preference. If all went as planned you should see your new Start button with the revised text.[/b]

HOW TO Change Windows XP Home to Windows XP Pro

 HOW TO Change Windows XP Home to Windows XP Pro


We can’t vouch for this hack, because we are too lazy to try it (and we never, ever violate copyrights or EULAs), but kind reader Martin explains the process for turning an Windows XP Home install disc to a Windows XP Pro disc after the jump.

It sounds pretty simple to do (just some registry changes), but you can’t install Service Pack 2, so you might try to slipstream in the changes to your modified install disc (if that’s even possible).

Alternately, buy XP Pro, or get a Mac.


Code:
    yes indeed, you can’t change an installed Windows but only your Installation CD (or even a recovery CD in case the manufacturer had not left out important parts)

    Here’s the detailed breakdown you asked for.

    1. Copy the root directory and the i386 directory of the WindowsXP CD
    to your harddisk
    2. Extract the Bootsector of your WindowsXP CD
    3. Change 2 Bytes in i386\Setupreg.hiv :
    a) Open Regedit
    b) Highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    c) Menu: File -> Load Structure -> i386\Setupreg.hiv
    d) Assign an arbitrary name to the imported structure e.g. “Homekey”
    e) Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Homekey\ControlSet001\Services\setupdd
    f) edit the binary key “default” and change “01” to “00” and “02” to
    “00”
    g) Highlight “Homekey” and select menu: File -> unload structure
    4. Burn your new XP Pro CD
    5. Install WindowsXP as usual. Your XP Home Key will work.

    Note: You cannot apply SP2 to such a WindowsXP Pro, so step 1.b)
    might be to integrate SP2 in your Installation CD

    Please check the menu-entries as I don’t owe an English copy of
    XP and have to guess them.

Don't Sleep 2.31

Don't Sleep is a small portable program to prevent system shutdown, Standby, Hibernate, Turn Off and Restart.

Especially when old Programs run on Windows-7 or Windows Vista. Here's more aggressive power-saving features with new rules.

But not only that, it also prevents loggin off the computer, and the deactivation of the monitor or activation of the screen saver.

Of course you can also manually disable all the options and then activate again, but with Don't Sleep one can save now many hand moves and also save time! And it's easier than ever.

Apart from the fact Don't Sleep has a timer that allows time control unblock, or shutdown the computer for a specified time.

Don't Sleep does not have to be installed and can be executed easily from the desktop, and can be carried on a small usb-stick or other memory device.
