Re: BIOS Flashing - A "How To ~ Qflash Guide"
Ya, I thought it was about time We had some good info on BIOS flashing, it was very much needed.
Glad to see it is already Helping some!!
Well it is always good to have one, and have it hooked up and set as first boot device, like you said for emergency's. Having one and not having it hooked up and set as first boot does not help you any in a emergency.
Ya they may self extract now for P45 boards I am not sure, just so used to using winrar as I use it all the time so I just out of habit right click files off the bat.
P35 BIOS .exe's though will only extract to the A drive, unless you have winrar or 7zip or some other similar extractors
Anyhow, very nice to see you approve of the manual, and found some use for it. I hope it will help save many from headaches and bad @BIOS flashes in the future
*EDIT*
You are correct, it is only (Well so far, only) the P45 BIOS's that are normal SFX files and can be extracted without winrar.
Thanks for the Tip, will add a sidenote in the above for P45 BIOS
