Can't update Bios
- Thread starter Doggonit
- Start date
Is there any alternative other than a floppy? (that is not windows based)
Is the BIOS set to defaults when you flash it, also the CPU??
Did you use the award flash utility??? Im just asking, I use the EZ Flash, its USB based and couldnt be easier.

EZflash is ASUS BIOS Flash utility. If you are trying to update your BIOS using floppy you are probably already using this.
If you aren't, you might not be doing it correctly. You should be writing the updated BIOS to you floppy and then updating the BIOS from the BIOS (using the EZFlash utility) itself. I think you can also do it right from windows.

The BIOS update should have two components, the award flash utility and the actual BIOS update.
Download the BIOS update, unzip it,then load that onto a floppy
You may need to make a boot floppy.
put a flop into the A drive,start>my computer>A drive>file>format>create an MS_DOS startup disk> click start.
Boot the comp using the boot flop.
when A:> appears, put in your flop with the utility and the new bios.
at the prompt,type awdflash then press <enter>
you should see the award bios flash utility screen.
in "file name to program" box type in the BIOS update file name (example 1201.bin)
when prompted press N if you dont want to save the current bios.
the utility will now start to flash the BIOS.
when complete it tells you what to do next.
