BIOS flashing

I've been trying to flash a new bios to my asus p2b (rev 1.04) but the utility asus provides can't recognize the EEPROM memory, it tells me its "unknown". The manual is useless since all it tells me is that the program reporting "unknown" EEPROM means that either its not writeable or it is not supported by the ACPI BIOS. I'm sure it's writeable and i'm 90% sure that it is supported by the ACPI BIOS.

Any ideas what the problem could be?
 
Have you checked in your existing bios for a setting to enable/disable bios writes, or checked the board for a jumper to that effect? I do know many boards have that as a safety feature.
 
Don't know if this will make any difference or not. Are you using the DOS based flash program? If so, they also now have a windows based flash program on their web site. Download it and see if it makes any difference. Anyway, it is easier to use form the windows environment anyway. Probably don't want to use the automated web based BIOS part of it though, some people have scrambled their BIOSs that way. Download the BIOS file and use the option to flash from a file. Let us know what happens.
 
http://www.asus.com.tw/products/motherboard/bios_tools.html You will find it at the top of the page. The name of the program is asupd277.exe. As I said, don't know that this will solve your problem but gives you another option to try. Let us know. I have run into a few quirks during BIOS flashing also. Scrambled half a dozen but managed to recover using the hot flash method or with an EPROM programmer I have access to.
