Award 6.0 BIOS - BootBlock Recovery

**Pedro_The_Swift** · 27th July 2008, 06:44 AM

wonderful,, Gigabyte put an extra partition on your HDD for just such an occasion,, but it doesnt work.

after reinstalling the vid and ram
nothing on the screen at all.
and no beeps.

its a bit hard to run a DOS program when the bios wont start posting(let alone finish)

anyone have a 8XAGP motherboard they want to sell??

**kaa45** · 27th July 2008, 07:06 AM

which motherboard was it?

probably got a few

**Pedro_The_Swift** · 27th July 2008, 07:55 AM

a gigabyte RZ 400A,,,?

willing to go with ANYTHING as long as it runs 8X AGP

**Pedro_The_Swift** · 27th July 2008, 10:48 AM

hmm ,,,
might have to eat my derisive words--
seems it just started up,,
all the way to windows

maybe there IS something to this hidden partition thing after all,,

maybe,,
