IP35 Pro Bios Flash

[Dr.GreenThumb]

Hey fellas, I just built a new system for Christmas and am working on finding a nice stable OC. After playing with some CPU frequencies Ive decided that I would like to update my bios, but I dont know how to do it. I am running Vista 32 bit and do not have a floppy drive. I want to just use a flash drive through USB, but dont know how to do to edit the flash drive in vista.

Anyone know how I can go about flashing my bios, like i said, no floppy and vista. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Abit has a program that will do it with pretty much one click called the flash bios utility

read this thread.use the usb method.
works flawless.
imo you should never flash the bios within windows

Thanks a lot for the link, that HP utility worked (the only that has worked in vista). Unfortunately I do not have the necessary ms dos boot files and do not know where to find them in windows.

Anyone know where I can get the boot files? Thanks!

I was looking at the usa and uk abit site and they both have different flash/driver/utility versions. Do I go off the uk or the usa site?

go off the Taiwan site.
The UK site will probably have the same versions as afaik it's administrated/hosted by Taiwan whereas the USA site isn't & is often slower to update.

I used the Taiwan site.
