ASUS awdflash utility??

[Q-Ball]

So I'm looking all around ASUS' website trying to find their damn BIOS flashing utility so that I have the latest version, but I keep running into dead ends. How can they tell you to update your awdflash.exe to the latest version without giving you a link to it?

This brings me to a couple of questions: First, where can I find awdflash.exe for my A8N-SLI Deluxe? Second, is it a manufacturer/motherboard-specific utility, or is there a universal awdflash.exe utility?

Go here. http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us Select the motherboard, socket type, and model. Then go to the BIOS tab at the upper portion of the page. It's listed as the Phoenix Award Flash Utility. It's like the third file down.

Wow, guess I'm just totally blind then...

Thanks for the help, Sir-Fragalot.

WinFlash doesn't work?

Asus has their own Windows based flash update utility. I don't like it because it forces you to update and thus download and re-install the damn thing practically every time there is a new BIOS version it seems. Still, it does work well. I didn't address why the original poster was using the DOS based utility instead of the Windows one. I just answered the question.
