Hmm...AFAIK you use a program like atiflash and save your current bios from dos. (when you boot from your boot disk)
IIRC, i got mine from 3dchipset.com

you need to use this program http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthre...lash+disk+1009

run the program inwindows and it makes a boot disk for you then boot into dos then run the file on the disk.

before it flashes anything, it makes a true backup of your current bios. I did it and i had to go back to my original becoause of lack of pal- TV out.

Thanks for the link.While I personally have no problem using old school command line syntax, I am lazy as hell and truly appreciate your efforts sir.
