it says -
In the event that the BIOS becomes corrupt the boot block can be used to restore the BIOS to a working state. The routine is called when the 'system block' of the BIOS is empty or corrupt. The restore routine when called will access the floppy drive (1.44Mb floppy disk drive) looking for a file named AMIBOOT.ROM.

This is the reason the floppy drive light comes on and the drive appears to be in use. If the file (AMIBOOT.ROM) is found it is loaded into the 'system block' of the BIOS to replace the corrupted information.

The AWARD BIOS does not automatically restore the BIOS information to the 'system block' like the AMI BIOS does. You will need to add the commands necessary to flash the BIOS in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The system will run the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, which contains the flash instructions.

-----------
from what i understand, if the bios becomes corrupt (ami and award bios), this "boot block" from bios chip is not flashed or erased, so it will try to recover from the diskette. it checks if the flash file exist. now im not sure if you need to move/change a jumper sa bios to enable this.

How to Recover Phoenix BIOS

1.
Step 1

Download a crisis recovery program designed specifically to restore damaged or otherwise non-functioning copies of Phoenix BIOS. Read the instructions for using the recovery program to make sure that no specific changes or configurations need to be done to it before it is used. (The majority of recovery programs will need no end-user modifications to be made, but some will be designed for several different BIOS recovery types and, as such, will require you to add, change or remove certain files.)
2.
Step 2

Place the Phoenix BIOS recovery program and its files onto a blank floppy disk or a USB drive according to the program's instructions (this usually simply consists of extracting the files from an archive.) Once the program and its files are in place, insert the floppy into the computer's floppy disk drive or plug the USB drive into an available USB slot.
3.
Step 3

Hold down both the "Windows" key and the "B" key on your keyboard and press the power button on the computer. (On some laptop computers, you will need to press the "Fn" function key and "B" instead.) Wait for the floppy disk drive light or the USB drive access light to start flickering to show that the computer is accessing the Phoenix BIOS recovery program, and then release the keys.
4.
Step 4

Wait patiently while the Phoenix BIOS recovery program overwrites the damaged sections of the motherboard's current BIOS installation. Depending on the computer and the recovery program used, the computer may or may not reboot once BIOS recovery is complete. If the computer does not reboot on its own, wait at least 10 minutes before manually restarting the computer to make sure that you do not interrupt BIOS recovery. Eject the floppy disk or remove the USB drive before rebooting to prevent accidentally reloading the recovery program.
5.
Step 5

Reboot the computer and watch to make sure the Phoenix BIOS screen appears as normal. Once the BIOS loads properly, your operating system should launch as normal.
