Hi there,
I bought a GA-MA790XT-UD4P together with a Amd Phenom II X4 955.
I read that it is necessary to update the BIOS for full support.
However, it is my first time doing this so I have some questions:
I copied the new bios file on a USB-Stick to flash it with QFlash. Is that correct?
Now I dont know what to do afterwards. In your guide you say:
Quote:
*NOTE*
Once you have flashed and rebooted back into the BIOS choose Load Optimized defaults and save and apply. This is a required step for the flash process to complete, and for the new BIOS to be properly loaded into the chip.
Then reboot Back into the BIOS again before you go into windows. You will need to set your hard drive settings again in the Advanced BIOS page. MOST IMPORTANTLY do not try to load Windows if you are using a RAID setup without setting these disk settings again or you will corrupt your RAID Array.
Please do not skip the above steps and try to load windows, this is for anyone who is reading this who is using RAID, which alot of us do.
These are the steps needed using the Intel Controller to assure your Array will not be lost post flash

I´m only using one hard disk so I´m not sure if that has something to do with RAID... Also my windows is not already installed, because I planned to update the BIOS first and then install windows, so I´m a bit confused (especially about the steps shown in the picture)
Do I still have to do all these steps?
Best regards
