I am preparing to upgrade the bios of my Albatron 865PE Pro2 running
Winxp pro. The computer is running perfectly in every respect except
for one game (RON) that continually freezes. I have exhausted every
avenue and the bios upgrade is considered because its there.
I let XP create a boot floppy and dragged awdflash.exe and the flash
upgrade file to the floppy as Albatron advise.
When I reboot the computer it runs as predicted except at the A:\
prompt the cursor is flashing, but the keyboard is dead. I have tried
other keyboards and all fail.
I am confused as the boot floppy appears to have many keyboard files
on it, but something gets lost in the floppy boot sequence.
I noticed that a normal bootup has an opportunity to Alt F2 to
activate an (onboard?)awdflash utility V8.24L, but using that I get a
message Source file not found, press F1 to continue....F1 dosnt work
as again keyboard is dead.
I have upgraded the keyboard software using the viewsonic slimline
setup, but that made no difference so I rolled back to the original
microsoft driver which as said works sweet for everything except the
boot floppy.
Any advice appreciated.
