A
Q: I can’t partition my hard drive larger than 2GB. Why?
A: The FAT file system (most commonly used by DOS) has a partition limit of
2GB. There is no way to increase the partition size unless you either use
NTFS provided by Windows NT or the 32bit file system provided by
Windows 95. Other operating systems may offer this feature, but check
with your O/S developer for more information about 2GB limits.
6 - BIOS Issues
Q: How do I bypass keyboard detection on system with no keyboard installed.
A: On boards equipped with AMI BIOS, enable the “Quick Boot” option in the
Advanced Setup menu. This will bypass the keyboard check and allow you
to boot up without error.
Q: Why is the video screen scrambled after entering the BIOS setup?
A: Some video cards (Diamond FireGL AGP, Viper 330 AGP, or 3D Labs chip
AGP cards) BIOS are not compatible with AMI WinBIOS. You can use text
mode BIOS to fix the video problem. This text mode BIOS is available from
our BIOS download site.
Q: When I clear the BIOS with the jumper, it does not clear. Why?
A: In most cases, BIOS can be cleared by inserting jumper JP3 to the 2-3
position. In some cases, certain brands’ power supply need to be
unplugged from a power source in order to clear the BIOS using jumper JP3.
Q: How do I determine my BIOS version?
A: BIOS versions may be difficult to distinguish on some motherboards. All
Tyan motherboards use either AMI or Award BIOS. The BIOS version can
be found at bootup just below the left hand corner logo. Ignore all version
numbers that do not start with “TYN”. Tyan BIOS versions begin at startup
with the following line:
TYN [motherboard model] Vx.xx MM/DD/YY
x.xx is the BIOS version number,
motherboard model reflects the motherboard you have, and MM/DD/YY is
the release date of the BIOS.
