Some of the modern VIA main boards are being used for ‘modern’ Windows OS installations. We know that there is a critical problem in trying to install VISTA/WHS etc on these boards - it does not work. The issue is a ‘hidden’ feature in the BIOS called VIA V4 Fast TRDY. On all factory shipped main boards and down loaded BIOS files, this feature can’t be edited in BIOS ! The default setting is Enabled w/wait, this stops the VISTA/WHS install. To aid your installs, the following files have been made available for you with the BIOS feature visible, and preset for VISTA/WHS installation. The updating of the BIOS is done at your own risk. All files are ‘zipped’.
BIOS File for VIA EN - BIOS flasher tool for VIA EN
BIOS File for VIA CN - BIOS flasher tool for VIA CN
Typical command line (incl clear) awfl865.exe ******.BIN /sn /cc
