Flashing your drive! (Works only with real DOS-MODE)

Create a Bootdisk and unzip MKTFLASH (one, from this side!) and a firmware to the root directory of the bootdisk.
Connect and Jumper your DVD-ROM to Secondary SLAVE (Safest setting) and disconnect all other devices.
Boot the system from the disk and run UPGRADE.BAT
Select "4" and wait until the system shows "OK!" and the command prompt.
Now you can reconfigure and reboot the system with new firmware.
