5. UPDATING THE BIOS WITH UBIOS
UBIOS is an utility that allows you to take BIOS files from a disk and update the Flash
BIOS device with them.
Caution
When using UBIOS, ensure there is no Device Manager or Memory Manager
(EMM86) application installed.
It also allows BIOS files in the Flash BIOS device to be saved to disk.
The program can be executed in one of two modes:
Interactive Mode: In this mode the program is menu-driven.
Batch Mode: It is also possible to run the program without menus by a
command that specifies the selected options and files with
parameters.
Caution:
Using UBIOS, will clear the CMOS Setup in ROM. Therefore, it is
recommended that you take note of your Setup parameters (especially Hard Disk
parameters), so you can reset them afterwards.
To update BIOS files, these files must be in the same directory as the
UBIOS.EXE program. Therefore, prior to running the program, make sure the
files you wish to update and the UBIOS program file are in the same directory.
When you enter UBIOS, only the current directories are available. Within the
UBIOS program, you can change the drive, but not the directory.
