    How do you flash the bios on a shuttle?

    I have one of the very first bios versions and I see here there have been lots of updates, how do you go about flashing a bios on a SN41G2

    Thanks

    Visit Shuttle.com and look for the BIOS updates for you model. There will be instructions on there how to bios flash there will be 2 options usually a Windows based tool and a bootable tool. It is recommended by the community to use the bootable dos version for stability over the windows version.

    Yes, check out sudhian forums at sudhian.com.

    There was a guy who made a boot cd with all the shuttle BIOS on and you may even find a USB based method on there.

    It's not the data to be worried about if a BIOS flash fails! It can corrupt the BIOS chip and will possibly require a new BIOS chip which will mostlikely result in a RMA for a new mobo - I have heard of cases.

    What's the worst that could happen check sudhian forums for more info.

    Personally I now work on the basis that "if it works then don't fix it" since most problems i find occur when trying to improve something that already works fine. I just check the BIOS' and see what new features there are, if i need them and if there are any issues with the new BIOS.
