You can pry open your computer cassis and search through the motherboard for familiar names. With the ROMs for your BIOS and device in hand, you'll need to find out who made your BIOS chip.

CBROM BIOS EDIT DRIVER

In my case, the RAID card used a VIA VT6421 chip and VIA hid the ROM with their driver zip file. Some make it easier and may even bundle it with the operating system drivers! If not, it will be a bit harder. If you're lucky, the manufacturer distributes it on their website. Whatever hardware you're installing – most likely a controller card – you're going to need a BIOS add-on ROM from the manufacturer of that device. Most of the time, a BIOS flasher will also let you capture/dump the firmware as well. For the second option, try to find a program that will let you do that in the 'BIOS Utilities' section below.

CBROM BIOS EDIT UPDATE

If your manufacturer did not release a BIOS update or any BIOS firmware, your options are either Google or extracting your current BIOS.

I had to use the latter for my HP computer. In that case, you'll have to swipe the firmware file from the temporary files directory (TEMP) while the installation is running or use a utility like IZArc to extract the contents. Sometimes, the likes of HP/Compaq obscure the file in an installation executable. This is usually a file that ends in '*.rom' or '.bin'. Still here? Great! If you were able to locate the BIOS update in the previous step, look for the firmware file. You can potentially render your motherboard unusable. As a disclaimer, BIOS hacking is very dangerous. You're about to go down a deep dark path. If there is not a BIOS update or the update didn't fix your problem, continue reading.

Go to the website of your PC maker, type in your computer model number, and see if there are any BIOS updates. Except, you won't be able to brag to your colleagues that you've hacked your BIOS. You may not even have to 'darken the console' to a DOS prompt since modern flashers usually update in Windows. You'll save a lot of time, gnashing of teeth, and bad-flash anxiety if you do that. A BIOS update just may be the fix to your controller-detection problem. This particular setback is solved by – drum roll please – hacking BIOS firmware! BIOS Firmware/BIN/ROMįirst things first, please update your BIOS. But for us budget-minded hackers, we must find ways to deal with these setbacks. They leave computer enthusiasts to build their own PCs if they want such functionality. These companies cripple the BIOS since most of their consumers will not use advanced features like WOL for S5 or duel controller card support. PCs from HP/Compaq, eMachines/Gateway, Dell, and others are made for consumers, not power users. The independent Chinese manufacturer that makes my SATA controller card actually produces an outstanding product. In my situation, I blame HP/Compaq (or AwardBIOS for that matter). It literally took me two whole days of research, agony, and forum scourging. But what if you want to boot from a hard disk that is connected to a secondary controller card? This exact scenario happened to me a couple days ago. I mean, its only great that Windows recognizes the controller card if you’re booting from the motherboard’s integrated disk controller. This problem is kind of like a chicken-or-the-egg dilemma. Has this scenario ever happened to you before? The BIOS does not recognize the hardware but the operating system does after the power-on-self-test. Too bad you bought this brand-less card from China (eBay) without any documentation.

Alas, the RAID setup option doesn’t appear again. You restart the computer hoping for the best. Suddenly, the Windows (or Linux) boot screen displays when you are expecting the controller card’s BIOS to kick in to configure the RAID drive.

Stoked, you’re ready to create your very own super hard drive with one terabyte of disk space! You install the hardware and boot your computer waiting for the BIOS to finish the POST. So then, you have the 6-chanel RAID PCI card that you bought off eBay and a couple of old, horded hard drives.
