Instructions for manually initiating Boot Block Recovery from Floppy Disk:
1. Insert the floppy disk with the new BIOS file in the root directory into drive A:. In most cases the file must be named AMIBOOT.ROM for the recovery process to load the file. However, this filename may differ from one product to another. Please consult the system motherboard documentation for more information.
2. Press and hold the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys down while turning the power on. Continue to hold the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys down until the access light on the floppy drive comes on. It may take a few seconds or more before this light turns on.
3. Release the <Ctrl> and <Home> keys. AMIBIOS issues a series of beep codes that indicate that the system BIOS ROM file is being updated. There will also be a progress dialog displayed on the screen after the file has been loaded.
4. When the flash ROM has successfully been programmed, the computer will reboot. Please do not interrupt the BIOS flash process until it has fully completed.
One function of the AMIBIOS Boot Block code it to test the integrity of the BIOS image in flash memory. If AMIBIOS8 Boot Block code detects a problem with the BIOS image, Boot Block recovery will automatically be initiated. This condition will be indicated using a series of beep codes.
Boot Block Recovery from USB Storage
Boot Block Recovery from USB Storage is nearly identical to Boot Block Recovery from Floppy Disk, except that the BIOS image is loaded from a USB Storage Device. This includes a variety of USB devices that meet the USB Mass Storage Class definition.
• USB Floppy
• USB Flash Drive
• USB CDROM & CDRW
• USB ZIP & LS-120/LS-240 "Superdisk"
Boot Block Recovery from USB Storage is a standard feature of the AMIBIOS USB eModule, but is not enabled by default. System motherboard manufacturers have the option of enabling this feature on their systems. Please consult your system motherboard documentation to see if this feature is enabled.
