Hi All, Well, in an attempt to get my SATA / IDE problem solved (earlier post), I attempted to upgrade my BIOS to the latest version. It didn't seem to go so well... First, my original BIOS was 1.02. I grabbed the latest for the AX4SPE-MAX board from the AOPEN site - which is 1.10. Upon running for the first time, the program instructed me to turn off HyperThreading - which I did. Upon running for the second time, the "Programming" progress bar moved along normally up to about 65% completion, where it appeared to hang for a while - then a message was posted that the flash process was complete and successful. After a reboot, the system would no longer even POST! So, I frantically read through my docs and found the JP24 jumper - which accesses an onboard Rescue BIOS. After switching the jumper, I can now reboot my system, but I'm not sure what to do now. First, I can't find much info on the DieHard BIOS feature of the board. Mainly, how to I "repair" the obviously corrupted "main" BIOS? I found a thread stating to boot from the DieHard BIOS, swap the JP24 jumper back to its original setting with the system running (!!!) and then reflash the original BIOS. I went through those steps with the downloaded BIOS upgrade only to have it apparently hang at 65% again, and ultimately act exactly the same way. So, 2 questions: 1. What is the proper procedure to restore the original BIOS (with *any* version at this point) when running from the Rescue BIOS? 2. Any ideas what's up with the 1.10 flash upgrade. I can't really find anyone reporting similar troubles - though the "search" facilities on the AOPEN eForum appear to be broken at the moment. Thanks for any assistance. Jeff Godfrey
