Hello

I will try to explain my problem (sorry for the language)

Yesterday I updated my BIOS, and now I have to push the power button two
times to start the computer. I want to restore the original Bios

I try this :

-Remove the battery clock for 15 min
-Change the jumper to maintenance mode, but only a new option appears in my
Setup nothign to back to the original BIOS
-And finally install with an .exe the original Bios provided by Intel and
there is an error

My mainboard is an Intel DP35DP

Thanks for your help

You may have to use the "forceit" switch when you retry flashing the BIOS
down to an older version. I don't recall the exact syntax, but Google
would probably find it.

I'd leave the CMOS battery in, and probably remove the jumper until it gets
reflashed, (if i remember right - check this out too, with a Google
search)..

By "updated", do you mean that you used a BIOS Flash Update utility from the
board manufacturer?

This will have no effect on the BIOS version. Flash memory does not rely
on any way on the battery.

The battery has to do with user settings, not with the BIOS version.

You need to contact Intel support if the directions here do not help:

"Instructions for Recovery BIOS Update" - mentions a floppy drive but they
don't really mean it.

http://support.intel.com/support/mot.../CS-023360.htm

Due to the size of the BIOS update files, you need something bigger than a floppy.

Table 31. Acceptable Drives for BIOS Recovery Can be used for BIOS recovery?
CD-ROM drive connected to the Parallel ATA interface Yes
CD-ROM drive connected to the Serial ATA interface Yes
USB removable drive (a USB Flash Drive, for example) Yes

Removing the CMOS battery should not be necessary. It is the jumper which
is the key to a recovery operation.

HTH,
Paul

If you have flashed your BIOS with a new version, you will have to flash
again, but using the older BIOS file..

Taking the battery out or shorting the BIOS jumper pins does not bring an
old BIOS back. It just resets the current BIOS to default start point..

Why bring this up HERE? The BIOS has nothing to do with XP and as
such you question does not belong HERE.

Ask elsewhere

On the BIOS update I did some time back, there was no "a" needed.

And it used "-forceit", not force. But I don't remember much more. But
you said you already got it flashed back to the previous version anyways in
your reply to Patrick, so maybe it's a moot point.

No, Farad's getting mixed up - he meant to say that HE has nothing to do
with XP except complain, because he's too ignorant to offer *anything* of
any substance.
So, no apology was necessary, Elizabeth.
