must create a boot diskette to bypass any memory managers (See Create a
Boot Diskette, below).
1. Boot DOS 5.0 or later version. (In Windows 95, at the boot option screen,
choose Option 8, "Boot to a previous version of DOS.")
2. When DOS displays the “Starting MS-DOS” message, press <F5>.
After you press <F5>, DOS bypasses the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
files, and therefore does not load any memory managers.
You can now execute Phlash.
Create a Boot Diskette
To bypass memory managers in DOS versions previous to 5.0, follow this
recommended procedure:
1. Insert a diskette into your A: drive.
2. Enter the following from the command line: Format A: /S
3. Reboot your system from the A: drive.
Your system will now boot without loading the memory managers, and you can
then execute Phlash.
Crisis Recovery Mode
You should only have to operate Phoenix Phlash in this mode only if your
system does not boot the operating system when you turn on or reset your
computer. In these cases, the BIOS on the Flash ROM has probably been
corrupted. Boot your system with the Crisis Recovery Diskette taking these
steps:
1. Insert the Crisis Recovery diskette (which your dealer supplied or one
that you should have created from the instructions above) into drive
A:\.
2. Reset your computer, power off-on, or press <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del> to
reboot the system.
3. When your system reboots, Phoenix Phlash will restore the BIOS from the
diskette and successfully boot the operating system.
