No, that will take you along time and defeat the purpose of clearing the CMOS :) .
What I meant was, click on the peripherals title at the top of the screen
and take note of what is the value SATA Mode Selection is set to, be it AHCI or IDE
like in the example picture below.
Then once you are done with clearing / flashing the BIOS make sure that the values are the same :) .
What I meant by this was the time difference between the BIOS you currently have
and the newer one on Gigabyte's website is not too far apart,
Your current one - 05/31/2012
The Newer version - 20/08/2012
Which leads me to believe they've pulled it down because it might have had issues.
You can also consult the manual for instructions.
Post back with the results :)!
