Gigabyte DualBIOS will not run as advertised
I have a Gigabyte GA-H67A-UD3H-B3 motherboard that supports "DualBIOS" according to the manual. I'm currently on the F4 BIOS.
The manual is hopeless on the topic.
From other forums, I learned that you should be able to see the BIOS version of both BIOSes by examining a system info screen available by F9 key during boot. That screen only shows 1 bios in my case.
From other forums, I also learn that "Alt F12" keys at boot should bring up a screen through which I can copy the main BIOS to the backup BIOS. All I can get with Alt F12 is a standard boot menu--choose HD, DVD, etc.
I also read some poorly written "instructions" on how to get DualBIOS to "kick in"---they involved keeping the power button pressed in during boot, which turns the motherboard on then off within a few seconds. I had no luck with that.
I can't find much online about this and I realize DualBIOS may be bogus even if I could get it to "work".
But if it has some possibility of bailing me out in a jam, I'd like to get it working.
Any help? I haven't contacted Gigabyte support about this, but their responses to others on this topic that I found online were cryptic and useless.
