4-1-2 Xpress Recovery2 Introduction

Xpress Recovery2 is designed to provide quick backup and restora-

tion of hard disk data. Supporting Microsoft operating systems including

English

Windows XP/2000/NT/98/Me and DOS, and file systems including

FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS, Xpress Recovery2 is able to back up data

on hard disks on PATA and SATA IDE controllers. After Xpress Recovery2 is executed from CD-ROM

for the first time, it will stay permanent in your hard disk. If you wish to run Xpress Recovery2 later, you

can simply press F9 during system bootup to enter Xpress Recovery2 without the CD-ROM.

System requirements:

1. Intel x86 platforms

2. At least 64M bytes of system memory

3. VESA-supported VGA cards

How to use the Xpress Recovery2

Initial access by booting from CD-ROM and subsequent access by pressing the F9 key:

Steps: After entering BIOS Setup, go to Advanced BIOS Feature and set to boot from CD-ROM. Save

the settings and exit the BIOS Setup. Insert the provided driver CD into your CD-ROM drive. Upon

system restart, the message which says "Boot from CD/DVD:" will appear in the bottom left corner

of the screen. Press any key to enter Xpress Recovery2.

After the steps above are completed, subsequent access to Xpress Recovery2 can be made

by simply pressing the <F9> key during system power-on.

1. If you have already entered Xpress Recovery2 by booting from the CD-ROM, you can

enter Xpress Recovery2 by pressing the <F9> key in the future.

2. System storage capacity and the reading/writing speed of the hard disk will affect the data

backup speed.

3. It is recommended that Xpress Recovery2 be immediately installed once you complete

installations of OS and all required drivers as well as software.

The Main Screen of Xpress Recovery2

1. RESTORE:

English

Restore the backed-up data to your hard disk.

(This button will not appear if there is no backup

file.)

2. BACKUP:

Back up data from hard disk.

3. REMOVE:

Remove previously-created backup files to

release disk space. (This button will not appear

if there is no backup file.)

4. REBOOT:

Limitations:

1. Not compatible to Xpress Recovery.

2. For the use of Xpress Recovery2, a primary partition must be reserved.

3. Xpress Recovery2 will store the backup file at the end of the hard disk, so free space available

on the hard disk for the backup file must be allocated in advance. (A minimum 4GB is recom-

mended but the actual space is dependent on the size of the data to be backed up)

4. Capable of backing up hard disks installed with Windows operating systems including DOS and

Windows XP/2000/NT/9x/Me.

5. USB hard disks are currently not supported.

6. Does not support RAID/AHCI (class code 0104/0106) hard disks.

7. Capable of backing up and restoring only the first physical hard disk.

Hard disks detection sequence is as follows:

a. PATA IDE primary channel

b. PATA IDE secondary channel

c. SATA IDE channel 1

d. SATA IDE channel 2

e. SATA IDE channel 3

f. SATA IDE channel 4

Precautions:

1. When using hard disks with more than 128G under Windows 2000, be sure to execute the

EnableBigLba.exe program from the driver CD before data backup.

2. It is normal that data backup takes longer time than data restoration.

3. Xpress Recovery2 is compliant with the GPL regulations.

4. On a few motherboards based on Nvidia chipsets, BIOS update is required for Xpress Recovery2

to correctly identify RAID and SATA IDE mode. Please contact your motherboard manufacturer.

5. Xpress Recovery2 supports only PATA hard disks and not SATA hard disks on the following

motherboards (As this is a BIOS-related issue, it can be solved by BIOS update)

4-1-3 Flash BIOS Method Introduction

TM

Method 1 : Q-Flash

Utility

TM

Q-Flash

is a BIOS flash utility embedded in Flash ROM. With this utility,

English

users only have to stay in the BIOS menu when they want to update

TM

BIOS. Q-Flash

allows users to flash BIOS without any utility in DOS or

TM

Windows. Using Q-Flash

indicating no more fooling around with any complicated instructions and

operating system since it is in the BIOS menu.

Please note that because updating BIOS has potential risk, please do it with caution!! We are

sorry that Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd is not responsible for damages of system because of

incorrect manipulation of updating BIOS to avoid any claims from end-users.

Before You Begin:

TM

Before you start updating BIOS with the Q-Flash

utility, please follow the steps below first.

1. Download the latest BIOS for your motherboard from Gigabyte's website.

2. Extract the BIOS file downloaded and save the BIOS file (the one with model name.Fxx. For example,

8KNXPU.Fba) to a floppy disk.

3. Reboot your PC and press Del to enter BIOS menu.

The BIOS upgrading guides below are separated into two parts.

If your motherboard has dual-BIOS, please refer to Part One.

If your motherboard has single-BIOS, please refer to Part Two.

Updating BIOS with Q-Flash

Utility on Dual BIOS Motherboards.

Some of Gigabyte motherboards are equipped with dual BIOS. In the BIOS menu of the motherboards

supporting Q-Flash and Dual BIOS, the Q-Flash utility and Dual BIOS utility are combined in the same

screen. This section only deals with how to use Q-Flash utility.

In the following sections, we take GA-8KNXP Ultra as the example to guide you how to flash BIOS

from an older version to the latest version. For example, from Fa3 to Fba.

Using the Q-Flash

utility:

This section tells you how to update BIOS using the Q-Flash utility. As described in the "Before you begin"

section above, you must prepare a floppy disk having the BIOS file for your motherboard and insert it to your

computer. If you have already put the floppy disk into your system and have entered the Q-Flash utility,

English

please follow the steps below to flash BIOS.

Steps:

1. Press arrow buttons on your keyboard to move the light bar to "Load Main BIOS from Floppy" item in

the Q-Flash menu and press Enter button.

Later, you will see a box pop up showing the BIOS files you previously downloaded to the floppy disk.

4-2 Troubleshooting

Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a specific

motherboard model, please log on to http://www.gigabyte.com.tw

Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS. Why?

Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys after

entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options.

Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down?

Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts down and

that's why the light is still on.

Question 3: How do I clear CMOS?

Answer: If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, please refer to the Clear CMOS steps in the manual. If your

board doesn't have such jumper, you can take off the on-board battery to leak voltage to clear CMOS.

Please refer to the steps below:

Steps:

1. Turn off power.

2. Disconnect the power cord from MB.

3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes (Or you can use a metal object to

connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to makethem short for one minute).

4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder.

5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power.

6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults(or load Optimized Defaults).

7. Save changes and reboot the system.

Question 4: Why do I still get a weak sound after turning up the speaker to the maximum volume?

Answer: Please make sure the speaker you are using is equipped with an internal amplifier. If not, please

change another speaker with power/amplifier and try again later.

Question 5: Sometimes I hear different continuous beeps from computer after system boots up. What do

these beeps usually stand for?

Answer: The beep codes below may help you identify the possible computer problems. However, they are

only for reference purposes. The situations might differ from case to case.

AMI BIOS Beep Codes

 AWARD BIOS Beep Codes

*

Computer gives 1 short beep when system boots successfully.

1 short: System boots successfully

*Except for beep code 8, these codes are always fatal.

2 short: CMOS setting error

1 beep Refresh failure

1 long 1 short: DRAM or M/B error

2 beeps Parity error

1 long 2 short: Monitor or display card error

3 beeps Base 64K memory failure

1 long 3 short: Keyboard error

4 beeps Timer not operational

1 long 9 short: BIOS ROM error

5 beeps Processor error

Continuous long beeps: DRAM error

6 beeps 8042 - gate A20 failure

Continuous short beeps: Power error

7 beeps Processor exception interrupt error

8 beeps Display memory read/write failure
