@George_heyy - be sure you know the board revision first! Shocked

Latest BIOS for Rev. 1 board is 1.3 = this board is the ORIGINAL MS-6168 from MSI Wink

Latest BIOS for Rev. 2 board is 3.1 = this board is the BORA PRO from Packard Bell Wink

DO NOT FLASH the board with the wrong BIOS, or it's dead MB time! Shocked

Also, the R2 board uses a special BIOS flash program for the AMIBIOS from Packard Bell... Roll Eyes

...be careful out there! Tongue

-=To MOD or not to MOD, that is a DUMB question - just MOD it!=-&&&&+May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.+

george_heyy I have a ECS (Elite Computergroup Systems) P6BX-A+ motherboard REV 1.2. It has a 8.4gig hard drive limit. I downloaded the official 40gig bios patch update from ECS so I could use my 60gig Western Digital WD60BB hard drive, but it fried my Bios.

Best thing for you to do is don't update it. I don't trust ECS anymore. Their Bios are bad and ruin your system.
So you are kinda in a pickle like I was. Best thing to do is use old hard drives and old hardware.

The DOS4GW is Native DOS, it's like Command Prompt in XP but it's for old games. XP can't do DOS, neither can Windows 2000. I'm sure you mean that DOS4GW popup up when flashing, as many bios flashers use dos to do that.

DON'T FLASH THE BIOS, use old hardware, or else you'll be buying a new motherboard like I did.

Kuze - For the Citizens part, they don't even recognize the massive explotation inherited in the system. They absorb only the information that appeals to them that's easy to accept. Theirs is a phony society, I want to open their eyes to that fact.
