Flashing Foxconn mobo

jula182 · April 23rd, 2007, 12:55 PM

I got this message when I'm trying to update my motherboard BIOS "Flash ROM is Write-Protected. Please make sure whether lockout
jumpers is set to correct or not". What does it mean?

It means you can't flash your BIOS and you need to disable the BIOS write protection from the BIOS settings.

This is the only option that i found on my mobo which related to security (maybe

):

Option: SuperBIOS-Protect
Description: SuperBIOS-Protect function protects your PC from being affected by viruses

Option: Virus warning
Description: Allow you to choose the VIRUS warning feature for IDE hard disk boot sector protection. If this
function is enable and someone attempt to write date into this area, BIOS will show a warning message
on screen and an alarm will beep.

I've disabled this option before i flashing the BIOS but I still got this message. I there any option that related
to security besides this two option?

Note my BIOS is Phoenix - AwardBIOS
