Question: If UEFI’s main advantage is in the Secure Boot, what devices can boot the desktop, then I really do not want UEFI? Are any other reasons to have UEFI? I placed my question-set here because I’m interested in maximizing safety, stability within my paid-for Microsoft Windows 7 Professional OS. I have some questions for youse all who know about UEFI and BIOS settings.

My desktop has Windows 7 Pro and American Megatrend UEFI/BIOS.
#AMERICAN MEGATRENDS BIOS UPDATE GIGABYTE HOW TO#
Internal hard-drive īecause I do not at all understand the choices that are found in the Options and Priority blocks, I have no idea on how to “write” the above 6 choices into Boot Options and Boot Options Priority. My question concerns the three Boot Options, and the Boot Options Priority apparently within the Legacy-BIOS portion.
I have tweaked UEFI/BIOS combine to reflect as much BIOS as possible. F6 & Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Belarc reports: Boot Mode: Legacy BIOS in UEFI & UEFI: American Megatrends Inc. I have AMI Aptio F6 BIOS in my Antec VSK3000E desktop, running Windows 7 Professional. So, just to confirm it (since it was hard for me to find really anything about this motherboard on Linux) - the Gigabyte GA-J1900N-D3V works great with Linux, and the Mini-PCIe slot can be used for SATA controllers instead of just Wi-Fi as the product page suggests.: Added the below in the first original post to avoid “forcing everybody” to the bottom of this thread.ĪMI Aptio F6 BIOS Win7Pro Wait until this is done and confirmed, then reboot the machine back into Ubuntu. Once FreeDOS boots, it should then load the Efiflash tool automatically and flash the BIOS with no user input required. You will most likely need to change the boot order from the BIOS menu to do this, or unplug the existing hard drives. Now you will be able to boot from the FreeDOS disk. Note that the FreeDOS disk will also have a AUTOEXEC.BAT file - leave this one alone, it is needed to initialise the system when you boot from the FreeDOS disk the FreeDOS SETUP.BAT should now contain the single line Efiflash J190ND3V.F4 (of course if you have a different motherboard or firmware version this line will change). Now open the SETUP.BAT file on the FreeDOS disk, and delete its entire contents and replace it with the one line from the autoexec.bat file, i.e. Open the autoexec.bat from your Gigabyte download - it should contain a simple line like: Efiflash J190ND3V.F4

Next, we need to change the FreeDOS scripts slightly so that instead of trying to install itself when it boots, it will run the flash tool. Copy BIOS flash files to USB flash diskĬopy the Efiflash.exe and J190ND3V.F4 files to the root of the flash disk. Take the extracted image file from above, and write it to USB flash disk with dd.įirst check that /dev/sdf is the right path for your USB flash disk!! sudo dd if=~/Downloads/FD12FULL.img of=/dev/sdf bs=1MĤ.
#AMERICAN MEGATRENDS BIOS UPDATE GIGABYTE NO CD#
My machine has no CD drive (and obviously no floppy) - but is able to boot from USB drives just fine. Once downloaded, extract the FD12FULL.img file. We'll need the "USB Full" FreeDOS image, from their website. It should contain three files: autoexec.bat The latest firmware for my board is revision F4. In my case, there are files on the Gigabyte website which have the updated firmware.
Only update the BIOS if you have a need to do so - typically, if the system is working with the current BIOS firmware then it is better to leave it alone. If you flash the wrong file, or power is cut during the process, there is a good chance you will brick the motherboard. So, this is what I did to get it working.īe very careful when updating motherboard BIOS firmware. I found a few other references to using FreeDOS to flash the BIOS firmware - but none quite worked for me immediately.
