BIOS recovery
An interruption during a BIOS flash procedure (e.g. a power outage) can corrupt
the BIOS code, which will cause the system to go into an unbootable state. You
need to access and execute the boot block program to reboot the computer and
recover the regular BIOS code.
Creating the Crisis Recovery disk
To create the Crisis Recovery disk:
1
Prepare a removable USB storage device with a capacity size greater than
10 MB.
Note that all data on the USB storage device will be cleared during the
creation of the crisis disk.
2
Set up a computer running the Windows XP or Windows Vista OS and plug
in the USB storage device into an available USB port.
3
Decompress the Crisis Package Source.
4
Select WINCRIS.exe and then select Run as administrator .
5
Keep the default settings and then click
Start
button.
6
When the pop-up warning dialog box appears, click OK to create the crisis
disk.
7
Click No if you do not want to create another crisis disk.
8
Eject and reconnect the USB removable storage device, and make sure it
contains the
BIOS.wph , MINIDOS.sys , and PHLASH16.exe files.
Performing a BIOS recovery
To perform a BIOS recovery:
1
Shut down the BIOS failed-computer.
