I have been doing some reading on the Gigabyte recovery process and the way it uses the HDD as part of the recovery, but, i have a few questions about how one of the bios settings actualy works, some help understanding this would be much appreciated.

The bios setting i'm talking about is for saving the current main BIOS image to the HDD and the options are enabled/disabled and can be found in the advanced section of the bios, but i'm unshure how this works.

1) When this option is enabled where on the HDD is the recovery BIOS image stored?

2) Does the recovery BIOS image get saved to the first boot device?

3) If the BIOS image has been saved to the HDD and you then disable this option does the saved recovery BIOS image then get deleted from the HDD?

Thanks!
 
Thanks for your reply and the link, much appreciated, but i have already read the info in the link you posted along with the PDF, the problem is, i can't seem to find the answers to the specific questions i'm asking.
 
Thanks for taking the time to answer, but it's the actual bios image file that i'm asking about (for bios recovery), not profiles.
 
you can download @BIOS from Gigabyte site and then install that much easier to update flash BIOS - when you download BIOS version then open zip file then save into new folder then open @BIOS then open BIOS update then reboot that about couple of mins - Ive done many time that so easy and other way is enter BIOS and go through QFlash (you need is floppy disk to flash or recovery)
 
Thanks for that but i don't trust Windows bios utilities, i'm not wanting to update the bios, i want to know where on the HDD is the backup bios stored for recovery purposes, anyway, i should have replied to this thread earlier as i have now found where it is stored, if anyone is interested it is stored in HPA which is a part of the HDD that is hidden.
