Well, first off let me thank you for reading this post.
What I am hoping to do in the near future is to format my hard drive on my old system. I have come to the conclusion that upgrading my bios is a good idea to do first. Now my system isn’t too ancient (less than 4 yrs old) but have no real clue as to what I should be doing. I really don’t want to fry any chips or anything so I figured I would come here and ask all you “guru’s” for some advice.
I know I need to figure out what MoBo and what version bios I now have, isn’t there an option under Win95 OS to get this info?
I suppose I could pull the case and look around for some sort of ID# if need be.
So, after you tell me how to do that, then I will most likely come here to windrivers.com and search for the new bios. After I download it, how will I go about changing it over to the new?
How would I make a back up/restore it if I mess up?
Also, IS this a good idea to update BEFORE reformatting?
Thanks in advance for the help guys/gals.
