Modify an Award BIOS to change Boot Logo
Hey, I just wanted to let anyone know that I hacked the F9 BIOS and was able to change the boot logo. Until I finally recieved an email from Gigabyte, I thought that Facewizard would be able to change the logo...but that isn't true. Gigabyte said that there wasn't enough mem in the bios for the image to be loaded properly, so Facewizard wouldn't work. They suggested that I either go without or remove modules from the bios and then load the image. After much testing and experimenting...I was finally successful in getting a custom image to display when boot logo is enabled in the BIOS.
I am including instructions on how I did it.
NOTE- I take no responsibility for any damage to the computer or any loss of data. Unless you know what you are doing, don't try to reflash your bios. It could result in a corrupted bios and a computer that won't post. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
Sorry I couldn't post the bios image. It was too big.
