Hi.


That is not true that ModBin has to be run in Win98-DOSBOX or in plain DOS.
Poeple who tell such stupid things:
"You have to run ModBin in Win98-DOSBOX or in plain DOS."
have no knowledges about the config.sys/config.nt.


Normally the DOSBOX in Win2K/XP ("command.com" / "cmd.exe") is configured badly.
So ModBin have troubles to load BIOS files and while start or after saving the modification
you will get error messages like these:
Can't open temporary file
File ORIGINAL.BIN can't open
Can't open file 2MBIOS.BIN !
...

To solve the problem:
Edit the config.nt in your
WinDirectory\System32 as follows:

dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
BUFFERS=20,0
FILES=30
LASTDRIVE=Z
FCBS=4,0

The important entries are FILES and BUFFERS.
FILES should have the value 30( or more).

After saving the changes you should be able to run ModBin in Windows 2K/XP/... without any problems.

Does not work for me, modbin6 1.00.38

Does not work for me, modbin6 1.00.38

I checked your BIOS file with ModBin6 1.00.38.

There appears another error message which has nothing to do with the current problem.


digitalfrost, in your case you just need a newer release of ModBin. :D



If you want to have it, just get in contact with me.
