"UPDATED YET AGAIN" ADDED HIGHPOINT 2.32 BIOS.

"UPDATED VERSION"
YOU CAN USE THIS UTILITY FOR EITHER AWARD OR AMI BIOS'S (MODDING OR FLASHING)
This utility has been updated with a little different interface regarding the menu's.
Each bios utility has it's own directory as well as menu for the modding process for example it contains 3 different directory's "Ami,Award,Cbrom" and each directory has it's owm menu for that directory within it. I have included a feature that was asked for and that is being able to return to the menu from the command prompt at any time by typing "menu" at the prompt. I have also changed the Ram Disk program so that I could assign a drive letter. When you type in the filename keep in mind that you do NOT have to type in the extension as I have assigned .bin for the Award bios and .rom for the Ami bios.

This utility was created to help solve the problem of the WinXP, 2000 or NT owner with a NTFS partition not being able to mod their bios's under the OS conditions. I have found out recently that WinXP and Modbin do not get along even under FAT32 and the command prompt so this will help in that situation too.

This utility is pretty straight forward in regards to using it. If you can type a number you can use this utility. So without further delay lets mod a bios. For the Examples I will be using (KT7_64) as the bios name.

The first thing you need to do is extract the zipped file that contains the proper files for this utility. Once extracted you will have a file called Biosmod.exe, Just execute this program and it will ask you to place a floppy into the floppy drive and hit OK. This process will then format your floppy and place all the needed files on it. Once that is done you now have a floppy that is a boot disk. Place the floppy into the drive if you took it out and reboot the computer. The utility will now extract itself to a Ram disk(Uses your memory as a hard drive). You will be greeted with a menu that you will select what you want to do.

*Place your bios file(s) that you want to mod on a floppy and place it in the floppy drive.*
