[DoOLiE11]

just as the question asks

and if i'm on for example bios version 1.0 can i flash it to 1.5 without haveing to do the inbetween bioses?

and whats the most stable bios for this board?

Yes, flash BIOSes are cumulative and do not need interim versions. Simply flash to the latest version....it will contain all of the updates of the previous versions.

If you do not feel comfortable using the DOS based AFLASH.EXE, you can use the Windows based flash program here. It's not hard to use.

but how do i flash it?

is there a site taht does a step by step? or is it that easy?

 

[AndyHui]

Sorry...look at the post above.

Remember to unzip your flash BIOS update before flashing....

thanks again AndyHui

got any suggestion what on what bios verions besides the lastest?

 

[AndyHui]

Usually the latest is the best. Also make sure that you have the latest drivers for your Promise ATA controller as well.

Go to Asus's website and download the latest official BIOS. The website had very detailed instructions on how to flash. You will down load two files. The BIOS and the flashing program. What OS are you running?

I just flashed mine to the latest version. It's really easy to do. You need to have a boot disk, boot to dos. Have the flash.exe utility on the disk, as well as the latest bios. If they won't fit on your boot disk, copy them on your hard drive, boot to dos, then copy the flash.exe and the new bios to the disk (delete other things, or use another disk). Then run the flash program. It'll ask for the new bios name, and type the name of the file. It'll do the rest.
