4.1.5 Recovering the BIOS with CrashFree BIOS 2

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 screen message

appears.

Checking for floppy...

1. Prepare the support CD that came with the motherboard or a

floppy disk that contains the motherboard BIOS before proceeding
with the BIOS update process.

2. If you have saved a copy of the original motherboard BIOS to a

bootable floppy disk, you may also use this disk to restore the
BIOS. See section “4.1.1 Creating a bootable floppy disk.”
