Hey, im ordering my nwe kit for saturday and getting a crappy ati card as a fill in till i can get my gts for the thursday as i cant order for wednessday.

Anyway, after installing the drivesr for the ati card, would there be a problem with me simply installign the GTS drivers then switching cards round and then ill use a driver cleaner to get rid of the other?

Also dont serpose you have a link to a good driver cleaner? Thanks :)
 
thanks. Im currently gettign all the drivers i need.

The drivers for the 1650pro as my stand in till i get a 8800GTS and my sound card. But what would happen if i had both sound card and graphics card drivers on the usb and i used the same usb to flash my bios? Do you think it would still go ok or does it need to just have the bios stuff on it to flash properly?
 
I'm not 100% sure as I use winflash :eek: luckily with no problems yet, but I would have thought it should be ok to have everything on the usb disk, just put the graphics and sound drivers into a folder and not with the boot/bios files.

There's a good guide over at the DFI forum for making a bootable usb and flashing with it, and as it uses awdflash it should be compatible with the abit board in that nice new build of yours. ;)

ive downloaded the abit latest bios... well there is only 2 so far lol. Its in a winraw folder, im guesing i need to extract.

Ill read through that guide.
 
just found another one thats 1gb actually. Still not 100% sure what i need to do though as the names on the abit one arn't the same as the DFI guide, really dont awna screwup the bios lol.

But im downoading some hp program. See if that will do it for me .

The files i have are:

ABITFAE.BAT

awdflash.exe

M704B_11.BIN

M704B_11.TXT

RUNME.BAT
 
The guide is old and the new hp thing is differnt. The guide said create it as a dos thing and in the program it says floppy dos thingy so i went for that now its turned my usb into a floppy drive and i cant use it any more as it doesn't even show up anywhere i cant format it back.

There was never any screen that came up like in the guide. Now i dont know what to do.
