I'm trying to flash the bios of my Soyo Kt400 Dragon Ultra Platinum and am getting an unknown flash error. Here's what I do:
1. Boot off my old win98 start-up disk
2. Replace the start-up disk with another disk with awdflash.exe and the newest bios for the board (kvx42aa3.bin)
3. Type the following at the prompt: awdflash kvx42aa3.bin /f (I have also tried it without /f)
4. awdflash asks if I want to save old bios, I save it as kvx42aa1.bin (that's the current bios installed)
5. awdflash saves that file to the floppy (I check and both the old bios file created by awdflash and the new bios file are exactly the same size)
6. awdflash asks if I want to program the bios, I answer yes and after a brief pause gives me an "unknown flash" error and exits to the command line.
I should add that as soon as awdflash starts up, it states next to the "Flash type" label "Unknown flash". I followed the instructions exactly as Soyo states on their website and can't get it to work. I've flashed many bios before and never had a problem. Anyone have any ideas?
