frist you need ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/utilities/awdflash.exe
make a file call bios.bat add the line to it
"awdflash be6_pv.b01 /py /sn /cd /cp /cc"
copy the file to a dos boot disk
bootup <type> bios done Power down,
Power Up resetup the bios the way you want.
Just let you know you may have reinstall Win200 for ACPI function to work.

Just rename it to .bin and run award flash. That is all I did. Works perfect for me. Include bios 1.22 for the HPT controller card.

It doesn't matter what is the extension of the file. U can remove it if u don't like it, u can name it anything u like as long as it is 3 characters or less. They call it "bin" just because they always did, I'm a lazy typer so I just rename it to "a" with no extension at all this way I have less to type in dos .
When u install BIOS always boot from disk to be safe.
