    im having a spot of trouble. Xp is playing up on one of my computers. a bios update fixed it on my other machine, but on this one awdflash just tells me that the update is incorrect for my motherboard. im pretty sure its not because it came from the manufacturers website (www.jetway.com.tw). is there a way of bypassing the protection in awdflash or do you not recommend it?

    Theres a reason for that proctection, and I don't recommend using a bios from another source other than the manufacturers website unless its a modded bios.

    ive done some investigating and it turns out that they put the wrong chipset number on the front of the manual. its right inside the manual though. thanks for replying and trying to help.
