Q: I downloaded the 2.4 bios and OC. I downloaded the 2.4 BIOS edit the Autoexec.bat so that the loading of the OC bios instead of the 2.4 bios. I right-clicked the file, was to edit, and accidentally opened, and the 2.4 BIOS when I loaded in windows. Ive rebooted, and it seems that the 2.4 successfully loaded, but I did not want to flash to this BIOS. So anyway, this time I was able to go and edit the Autoexec.bat file and I rebooted with the floppy OC, and the flash program to load DOS prompt. Everything seemed to have been going, until a message appeared. The message was u0026quot; The program files BIO – Lock String does not match your system! u0026quot; Now what does this mean? Im currently running the MSI Pro2-A board, how could it not match? Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks

Re:yeah I get the unknown flash message and loading fail safe defaults did not fix things… also fail safe defaults only recognizes one of my sticks of ram….
this has been a tedious upgrade….

Re:Thanks guys, well anyhow, I decided to stick to 2.4 and just wait for a new bios to hopefully come out and flash it to that and see what happens.

Re:Yeah I have not heard of that problem on the Pro 2-A, anyone else using Pro 2-A's know if this is strictly turbos?

Re:Thanks for the info, guy. What I meant by multiplier problems is that some people have flashed to this new bios, got all the multipliers, but some multipliers were incorrect (eg. 7.5 was actually 11.5). I read this in the Turbo Bios Thread. Hmmm…maybe this problem is only found on the Turbo boards???

Re:By multiplier problems do you mean losing the lower multipliers when you flash? If so, I had that problem until I flashed to the oc'ers bios, which returned all the multipliers from I think 5.5 to 12.5. When flashing to the oc'ers bios I just extracted the award flash utility and the new bios onto a diskette, booted to the command prompt, and ran the flash program with the /nbl switch.

Re:guy: How did you flash your bios? Did you use the autoexec? What switches? Do you have the multiplier problems others are experiencing?

Re:I got that "unknown flash type" message also. I went into the bios, loaded the defaults, rebooted, and it was gone. Then I went ahead and put my optimal settings back in the bios. I have heard some people still get that message even after doing that though. It shouldn't be a problem. I have better performance all around with the oc'ers bios than 2.4.
Micron, that's really wierd, only 9000 huh? Maybe your board is defective.

Re:I would go back to 2.4, I was using the OC BIOS but when I ran a sandra bench on my ATA100 hard drive I got a score of 9000 so I went back to 2.4 and got my usual score of 23000.

Re:Okay well, I flashed it with the OC bios. It went quite smooth, except for one little problem. I get a "unknown flash type" message. I tried to load the default settings and that didn't fix it. If I just leave it like this, will it affect performance or stability of the system in any way at all? I also noticed that on the post screen, on the bottom with the 2.4 bios, it changed the display from 686A to 686B. When I flashed the bios with the OC bios, it changed it back to 686A. Is this just a display error, or will it not use the full potential of my ATA100 drive? The only good thing that I so far see is that it increased my memory speeds a bit. Think it would be better for me to just go back to the 2.4 and wait for a new OC bios to come out?

Re:Thanks Spongebob and guy. I will add the /nbl switch to the autoexec.bat file and try again.

Re:This is from MSI's FAQ:
Question: During BIOS flashing procedure on K7T Pro2 or K7T Pro2A. Screen will show "The program file's BIOS lock string does not match with your system"
Answer: Use /nbl parameter
For example:
awdfl789 w6330vms.240 /nbl
I'm not sure if you should reflash with just the /nbl switch or add the switch to the list of switches in the autoexec.
Re:It's fine, flash with the /nbl switch in the commmand line, this will get around your error. Example:a:\awd1111.exe /nbl
NBL = "No Bios Lock" protection
