How to complete Bios update

My A7V is 1003. I have followed all instructions in manual and successfully downloaded 1004a to the floppy. In DOS a:\dir shows the file to be A7V1004A AWD

Running aflash and choosing option 2 gives me the update Bios screen, which asks for the filename of the new Bios and the path in the format
A:\XXX-XX.XXX


I have tried every variation of the filename but keep getting the message "cannot open file". What am I doing wrong and what EXACTLY do I enter?

Please note that this is being done from a floppy boot in DOS.

TIA

try right clicking the a drive in windows, and click properties:this'll tell ya exactly what the file name is. I don't think that the award part should be at the end.

I'm not sure , but don't you have to extract the bin file out of the awd file first and then run it as ie.... bh6_sh.bin????
