Alright, sorry for this stupid question. I have to ask it though, I can't solve it myself. I have the latest bios running. The thing is, I want to downgrade it. I have an ASUS P5K mobo, which means that I can flash from windows. The thing is, flashing from windows won't let you downgrade.
Alright, so I put the files on my bootable USB stick and went to EZ Flash 2 in the BIOS. He sees the file, put gives this error: Boot block in file is not valid. I've googled for it, can't find a solution though.
Right, sounds like there is one last solution right, manually flashing it using AFUDOS.exe. Well, surprise, it didn't work either. Upon typing AFUDOS.exe /i<romname.rom>, it gives an error saying that it can't open the ROM. I'm kind of out of options here. I tried using the AMI Flashing thing, it gave me an error saying that my motherboard isn't supported. So I came here, hoping that someone would know the solution.
Now, is there someone that can help me?
Thanks in advance.
 
There is also an alternative to EZ Flash. Link

I used that method for my P5K Deluxe and was able to successfully flash it with the P5K Premium BIOS.

So you should be able to down-flash with ease. :)
 
Trying that one as we speak :) Would you recommend Cross Flashing? If so, what bios would you recommend for my Asus P5K P35?
 
Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!
Just to give this post a little bit of usefulness, would it be possible to add this into the Ultimate Boot CD (USB Stick Version)?
