How to recover the BIOS with Floppy Disk:

- Copy the recovery file eg.CR0059.BIO to a CD from the Intel site:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&Inst=Yes&ProductID=2766&DwnldID=15487&strOSs=38&OSFullName=OS%20Independent&lang=eng

- Please remover the Flash Recovery jumper from 1-2 position from the motherboard.
- Insert the diskette into drive A:
- Turn on the system.
- Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block area, no video is available to direct the procedure. The procedure can be monitored by listening to the speaker and looking at the CD drive LED. When the system beeps and the floppy drive LED is lit, the system is copying the recovery code into the FLASH device. As soon as the drive LED goes off, the recovery is complete.
- Turn the system off.
- Change the Flash Recovery jumper back to the default position.
- Remove the diskette in drive A: and turn the system on.
- Go inside the BIOS by pressing F2 key.
- Inside the BIOS, press F9 to load setup defaults, then press F10 to save and exit.
- Reboot system.

How to recover the BIOS with CD-ROM:

Use this method if the recovery file (CR0059.BIO) is too large to fit on a floppy disk or if the desktop board does not include floppy drive support.
