PRELIMINARY 155
CRISDISK.BAT formats the diskette, then copies MINIDOS.SYS, VGABIOS.EXE (if
available), PHLASH.EXE, PLATFORM.BIN and BIOS.ROM to the diskette, and cre-
ates the required custom boot sector.
4. Write protect and label the Crisis Recovery Diskette.
NOTE: You can only supply a volume label after the Crisis Recovery Diskette has been formatted and
the necessary files copied because MINIDOS.SYS must occupy the first directory entry for the diskette
to boot properly.
15.3 Updating the Crisis Recovery Diskette
If the BIOS image (BIOS.ROM) changes due to an update or bug fix, you can easily update the Crisis
Recovery Diskette. Simply copy the new BIOS.ROM image onto the Crisis Recovery Diskette. No fur-
ther action is necessary.
15.4 Executing Phoenix Phlash
You can run Phoenix Phlash in one of two modes:
Command Line Mode
Crisis Recovery Mode
WARNING! For your own protection, be sure you have a Crisis Recovery Diskette ready to
use before executing Phlash.
15.4.1.1 Command Line Mode
Use this mode to update or replace your current BIOS. To execute Phlash in this mode, move to the
directory into which you have installed Phoenix Phlash and type the following:
phlash
Phoenix Phlash will automatically update or replace the current BIOS with the one which your OEM or
dealer supplies you.
Phlash may fail if your system is using memory managers, in which case the utility will display the
following message:
Cannot flash when memory managers are present.
If you see this message after you execute Phlash, you must disable the memory manager on your
system. To do so, follow the instructions in the following sections.
15.4.1.2 Disabling Memory Managers
To avoid failure when flashing, you must disable the memory managers that load from CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT. There are two recommended procedures for disabling the memory managers.
One consists of pressing the <F5> key (only if you are using DOS 5.0 or above), and the other re-
quires the creation of a boot diskette.
