UPDATING THE BIOS

Flash memory simplifies distributing BIOS upgrades. If you need a new
version of the BIOS, you can download the BIOS update from Gateway’s 
Technical Support web site, or the BBS, and install the new version 
from a disk. MULOADER.COM, which is required each time the BIOS is 
updated, was included with the other files in this zip file.


To Update the BIOS

1) Enter BIOS Setup by pressing F2 when prompted during startup.
 
2) Write down the settings for each of the fields. (At the end of the 
   BIOS update process, you will reset the fields to the default 
   values.)
 
3) Exit the BIOS Setup program.

4) Uncompress the contents of the BIOS file you downloaded, and copy 
   the contents onto a bootable diskette.

5) Copy the MULOADER.COM program onto another bootable diskette.

6) Place the bootable diskette containing the BIOS files into drive 
   A, and restart the system with the disk in the drive.

7) At the prompt, type:  

	PROGBIOS
	
   and press Enter.

8) The system asks you if you want to change the BIOS. Press Y and 
   then press Enter. 

9) Once the BIOS files have been loaded, remove the disk from drive 
   A and place the disk containing MULOADER.COM in drive A, then 
   restart the system.

10) At the prompt, type:

	MULOADER.COM

    and press enter.

11) Once the program has run, remove the disk from drive A and 
    restart the system.

12) As the system starts up, verify that the correct BIOS version 
    is reported.

13) Enter BIOS Setup by pressing F2 when prompted during startup. 
    Once in BIOS Setup, re-enter the values you wrote down at the 
    beginning of this process. 

    If you do not set the CMOS values back to the correct values, 
    the system may function erratically.


Note:  You may encounter a CMOS checksum error or other problem
       after the system restarts. Try turning the system off and
       then restarting again. CMOS checksum errors require that
       you enter the BIOS Setup, check your settings, save your
       settings and exit Setup.
