Editing an Asus P5N32E-SLI BIOS?

[mojo]

Does anyone know if it's possible to edit the BIOS on a P5N32E-SLI? The BIOS is a Phoenix Award BIOS.

So far I have tried all available versions of modbin, modbin6 and Phoenix BIOS Editor (2.0, 2.1, 2.2). None of them can open the BIOS. The closest I got was Phoenix BIOS Editor 2.1 which can open the BIOS but everything is corrupt.

I found a version of CBROM that works but you can't really do much editing with it.

I need to alter the BIOS hidden settings, or enable hidden menus. I want to use the security features on my HDD, but the BIOS does not facilities for setting a password. I found some software that could set one, but it looks like the BIOS is freezing the security settings on boot. I imagine it's to prevent a virus setting a password on the HDD but it also means I can't set one. So, either I need to stop the BIOS freezing the HDD or enable the hidden password settings menus...

I emailed Asus but they are no help.

It must be possible!

Not sure what ur trying to do?

If you need to enable power saving on ur hdd surely use the HDD manufacturers tools?

I am trying to stop the BIOS freezing the security settings on my HDDs. It's not power saving. Most HDDs support setting a password, which then needs to be entered at boot time before the HDD can be accessed.

I have made some progress. I finally found a version of modbin that supports my BIOS, but there does not seem to be any way to enable the hidden options or disable the freezing

Damn you ASUS!
