On my new computer I mounted m.b. A7V with Windows ME operating system; I am very happy with this mb : I think it is a very good m.b.

I encountered only this problem:

I was not able to backup on floppy disk the BIOS with utility AFLASH: using Windows ME it's impossible to create a startup floppy disk with DOS command FORMAT a:\S ; as suggested; the only way is to create a startup disk using the function available with ME; on this floppy I copied utility AFLASH.
I try to use this floppy: I reboot the PC and I ask for a minimum size startup ; I run AFLASH and I selected option 1 for backup BIOS: during the copy of the BIOS AFLASH prompted error : DISK WRITE ERROR and the copy is not completed;
I take another test removing from the floppy disk the files autoexec.bat and config.sys : the problem is still present. I user BIOS rev. 1007.

Please help me resolving this problem.
I escuse for my bad english
Thank you very much

it might not have room on that floppy to back up the bios...go to bootdisk.com get drdflash and download it to your c drive...it will self install to a floppy and gives you just a minimal boot for flashing and stuff
