Enabling Shadowed BIOS

[ZER0X]

The Internet doesn't give me a straight answer

How do you enable Shadowed...
System BIOS
System Video BIOS

Under WINXP

BIOS: Pheonix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG

BIOS can be flashed aswell

Thanks Zer0x

Pheonix AwardBIOS should be shadowing the system and video bios' from the factory. If it's not, in the plug and play section each expansion card with firmware on a ROM can be shadowed but you need to know the address that the BIOS info is at then put it into the matching area of RAM. Not fun

Doable tho .... but i better be getting a term credit for that

Zer0x, have a run through the Motherboard manual (and what mobo do you have). If you dont want to hunt around, the "Failsafe Defaults" should work

what mobo do you have

The crappiest motherboard ever, but I didn't build it couldn't afford

Model: Gamilia/Giovani/Neon Series
Chipset: Intel i845G
Southbridge: Intel 82801DB (ICH4)

I guess i'll try that

Ok so MSI crapped-down motherboard.... have a look through BIOS for those options but if it doesnt have those options youre kinda SOL

It doesn't have those options I guess if they release a later BIOS version I could probably flash it? not to sure
