I'm looking for a file to upgrade my BIOS as I have the following message when trying to upgrade from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 :

Your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device. To use this device, contact your computer manufacturer to obtain a firmware or BIOS update. (Code 35)

The Multiprocessor System (MPS) table, which stores the resource assignments for the BIOS, is missing an entry for your device and needs to be updated.

Obtain a new BIOS from the system vendor

If you ever visit the Matsonic website, it will leave a foul taste in your mouth. They offer nothing... absolutely nothing in bios support that I could find.

Please state what your current bios revision number is so we will have some sort of clue as to what would be considered an "update" from you current revision.


There is a bios file for this motherboard model posted here: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=182670
