15.4.1.3 DOS 5.0 (or later version)
For DOS 5.0 and later, follow the two steps below to disable any memory managers on your system. If
you are not using at least DOS 5.0, then you must create a boot diskette to bypass any memory man-
agers (See Create a Boot Diskette, below).
1. Boot DOS 5.0 or later version. (In Windows 95, at the boot option screen, choose Op-
tion 8, "Boot to a previous version of DOS.")
3. When DOS displays the “Starting MS-DOS” message, press <F5>.
After you press <F5>, DOS bypasses the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, and therefore
does not load any memory managers.
You can now execute Phlash.
15.4.1.4 Create a Boot Diskette
To bypass memory managers in DOS versions previous to 5.0, follow this recommended procedure:
1. Insert a diskette into your A: drive.
2. Enter the following from the command line:
Format A: /S
4. Reboot your system from the A: drive.
Your system will now boot without loading the memory managers, and you can then execute Phlash.
NOTE: The boot diskette you create here is distinct from a Crisis Recovery Diskette. See page 409
for details about creating the Crisis Recovery Diskette.
15.5 Crisis Recovery Mode
You should only have to operate Phoenix Phlash in this mode only if your system does not boot the
operating system when you turn on or reset your computer. In these cases, the BIOS on the Flash
ROM has probably been corrupted. Boot your system with the Crisis Recovery Diskette taking these
steps:
1. Insert the Crisis Recovery diskette (which your dealer supplied or one that you should
have created from the instructions above) into drive A:.
2. Reset your computer, power on-off, or press <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del> to reboot the system.
When your system reboots, Phoenix Phlash will restore the BIOS from the diskette and successfully
boot the operating system.
