Here's the directions that it says I have to do, to reflash my BIOS

(1) Make a bootable floopy disk
(2) Copy the Award flash utility & BIOS file to the said floppy disk.
(3) Create an autoexec.bat with "awdfl535 biosfilename" in the content (e.g. awdfl535 a619mj21.bin).
(4) Boot up system with the said floppy (it will take less than 2 minutes before screen comes out).
(5) Re-flash the BIOS and reboot the system.

What program do I use to create an autoexec.bat file? Step 3 is kinda confusing to me, help!

Wrong forum, but I'll bite anyway:

Create a boot floppy. Create a text file (notepad, edit, etc.) on the boot floppy with the contents:

awdfl535 a619mj21.bin

Save the text file as "autoexec.bat".

That's it. Alternatively, forget the autoexec.bat and just type that line at the dos prompt.

EDIT: BTW, oniq's command does the same thing.
