help with bios updates

Jun 04, 2005 3 Replies

Hi Everyone,



I was wondering I need to update my current bios to use my new hard drive. But the only company I found that offers it says I have to pay



39.00-50.00 to get it. Does anyone know where I could get the file for alot cheap or for free? The file I needs is: Award Modualar Bios v6.00 PC W6167 msv1.6 083000


Thanks for the help Aoi_chan



Hi Shera...

I've never found a motherboard maker that doesn't offer bios upgrades free.

I'd suspect that you might have an msi motherboard. If that's correct, then go to msicomputer.com and check their bios downloads page.

If it isn't msi, then google the mainboard makers name until you find their site, and look around.

Be very very very careful updating bios. Follow every instruction to the letter. Any error on your part will be catastrophic.

Thanks Ken,

I check out the other website. This has been really helpful

You can download a program that allows you to do this without upgrading the BIOS. This must be a very old computer, yes?
