The CrashFree BIOS 2 auto recovery tool allows you to restore BIOS from
the motherboard support CD, or from a floppy disk that contains the BIOS
file, in case the current BIOS on the motherboard fails or gets corrupted.
To recover the BIOS from a floppy disk:
1. Boot the system.
2. When a corrupted BIOS is detected, the following message appears.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for floppy...
3. Insert a floppy disk that contains the original, or the latest, BIOS file
for this motherboard (P 4 P 8 T . R O M
P 4 P 8 T . R O M P 4 P 8 T . R O M P 4 P 8 T . R O M P 4 P 8 T . R O M). If the BIOS file that you
downloaded from the ASUS website has a different filename (e.g.
P 4 P 8 T 1 1 . R O M
P 4 P 8 T 1 1 . R O M P 4 P 8 T 1 1 . R O M P 4 P 8 T 1 1 . R O M P 4 P 8 T 1 1 . R O M), rename it to P 4 P 8 T P 4 P 8 T P 4 P 8 T P 4 P 8 T P 4 P 8 T. R O M . R O M . R O M . R O M . R O M. The BIOS update
process continues when the P 4 P 8 T . R O M P 4 P 8 T . R O M P 4 P 8 T . R O M P 4 P 8 T . R O M P 4 P 8 T . R O M is found.
