Answer» How can I install BIOS to my mobo??? I already read the manual but its not there.... ASrock P4vm800 BIOS: AMI V02.57 1985-2004 Intel.. Please explain more about what you are trying to do.BIOS is a program on a chip...already attached to your motherboard. Unless you have a motherboard with no BIOS chip...I guess if this can help in solving my problem... REGARDING detection to my CD-ROM drive.... because it won't detect even my cd-rom drive is fine... I want to re install it with Windows XP... Because its corrupted...... ahhhh so I mean to update it.. sorry... so its possible right?? if I can't enter to my OS bcause my HDD is corrupted...Do you want to update your motherboard BIOS to a more recent version? If so, go to the Asrock site and look in "downloads" for BIOS updates. Follow the installation instructions precisely because a mistake can make your board unusable.Look here: HTTP://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=P4VM800I've never had the need to update a BIOS. I'm not saying it never needs to be done, but it's a procedure that, if not done correctly, or sometimes, even if done correctly, causes more problems than it solves. I would explore other options before updating the BIOS.yah.. good advise... thanks.... Updating the BIOS to get a CD to boot is a very bad idea and may produce an expensive paperweight when completed...

I would explore other options before updating the BIOS. Seconded very strongly. I'd also like the extend that for most firmware and Video BIOS upgrades as well. Ever since I turned my old CD-burner into a paperweight, and subsequently the HARD drive on the same cable- I've been leery of hardware-based software.I have an Asrock mobo in my OLD computer that I've been upgrading. The board is probably about seven years old. Some years ago, I did a Bios upgrade to the mobo. During this last upgrade, I've added ram, to the maximum that the mobo will hold, installed a new Gigabit Wireless Card and new SATA hard drives. I thought it would be pertinent to try to upgrade the bios. I was surprised, that with a board that old, there was indeed a NEWER bios than what I'd gotten before. I'm a PC tech with years of experience, but I still say a few prayers, cross my fingers and hold my breath when Flashing a Bios. Just one little mistake on my part or a Glitch on the install floppy disk and the install can just go horribly wrong. Then it's off to the computer wholesale house to buy a new motherboard. In the case of an old one, like my Asrock, I'd be buying a new mobo, CPU chip and RAM. Oh, by the way, my Bios upgrade went off without a hitch. The SYSTEM is running like a new one today. With the two gigs of ram and a SATA hard drive, Vista Ultimate is running on it like a champ!! When some piece of hardware has quit working in a PC, it's almost NEVER a fault of the BIOS. Beyond just resetting it, I'd not advise ever messing with it. Cheers Mates! The Shadow Hi... long time... I just want to tell the good news... Its only the PSU..... I bought new one and now its ok... thanks a lot for the time guys.....Excellent news! Thank you for posting the resolution!
