Awdflash - is the program used to flash award-bioses.
To view the various options, run: awdflash.exe /? or check this picture.
I usually flash with the following command: awdflash.exe biosfile.bin /py /sn /cc /cd /cp /cks /R
But remember to always check out the flash-procedure from your motherboard-manufacturer.
This program should only be run under pure DOS. I recommend downloading DrDOS 7.X boot disk.

Biosview - can be used to view/test a biosfile, NOT the current bios in your computer.
Can be used to take screenshots of your bios, if you want to share some settings with other people.
Doesn't work with the newer bios versions out there. It worked for Abit KT7 and KA7, but not Abit KG7, Iwill and Epox.
Just run: biosview.exe biosfile.bin or biosview.exe or just check this picture.
This program works under DOS & WinALL.
biosview: [ 2.00.00 | 1.00.00 ]

Cbrom/Cbrom6 - gives you the opportunity to exchange the components of an Award Modular bios.
I use this util to change the integrated raid-bios and the epa-logos. It can also be used to exchange fullscreen-logos and the acpitable.
Always remember to check your biosfile before and after a mod to make sure that it is in fact intact.
To view the various options, run: cbrom.exe /? or check this picture.
I use cbrom version 2.07 for my mods, and the options I have tested are: "/d", "/pci", "/epa" and "/acpitbl".
This program works under DOS & WinALL.
cbrom: [ 2.15 | 2.07 ]
cbrom6: [ 6.06 ]
|
Modbin/Modbin6 - is used to modify the Award Modular bios.
It can be used to modify the setup screen of your bios, giving you the opportunity to unhide options which the motherboard manufacturer has hidden.
The acpi option for instance can be modded here.
Just run: modbin6.exe biosfile.bin or modbin6.exe or just check this picture.
I use modbin6 version 1.00.38 for my mods.
This program works under DOS & Win9x.
WARNING, using a floppy won't work since it doesn't have enough room for the temporary files.
modbin: [ 4.50.80 | 4.50.77 | 4.50.76 | 4.50.75 | 4.50.66 | 4.50.64 | 4.50.60 ]
modbin6: [ 2.01.02 | 2.00.00beta | 1.00.38 | 1.00.37 | 1.00.12 | 1.00.03 ]

Boot Disk
BIOS flashing usually requires a boot disk and it can be hard to make if you are running WinNT/2K/XP.
The FDD executables create a bootable disk for you with no hassles. Just find an empty floppy and run the program.
If you need a bootable CD, you can download 3 variants depending on what your burner software supports.
(BIN/CUE = Goldenhawk CDRWIN or Fireburner, ISO = Adaptec/Roxio Easy CD Creator, NRG = Ahead Nero Burning Room)
For BIOS flashing I generally recommend using DR DOS. It's pure and simple without any drivers. You only need the BIOS binary and the awdflash.exe.
