Will I screw up BIOS NVram if I constantly change it ?
« on: April 21, 2006, 01:30:54 AM »
Hi. I want to dual boot my WinUAE PC with 2 Winblows configs but I want to keep some hardware hidden from one of the configs, the reason is too keep the other config free from acess in case I get a virus.
 I figured an obvious and eficient way to do it is to simply disable one of the IDE channels in wich I have one of the HDs with one of the Windows installs. However this means entering and changing the BIOS plenty times. Will I risk screwing the BIOS (flash EEPROM) like this ?
