How to update CUBX BIOS?

[GaseousMacCloud]

Man, I'm beginning to be a pain in the rear-end with these questions of mine. Nevertheless:

In a prior post, I queried the brain-trust here about the third and fourth IDE controllers on the CUBX board. I discovered that a new BIOS version was available that helped with that problem. I downloaded the update, unzipped it into its own file, installed ASUS' Live Update thingie and "updated from file".

Only, I didn't. It told me it was an unknown EEPROM type. So, figuring maybe the file got whacked, I tried "updating from Internet". Live Update tells me that it can't get do it and to try another site. Well, I tried all three of the sites listed and, zippo.

Cruising the ASUS site, I find an update to the Live Update thingie, install that and still, the BIOS update runaround: The one I downloaded (which is the one ASUS pointed me to) is an unknown EEPROM type and I can't get an update from any of the ASUS sites using Live Update.

What do I have to do to update my BIOS? Sacrifice a chicken or something?

u must have aflash and the new bios, after that restart your comp and use the start up disk, go to prompt a: and put the disk where u put the aflash and the new bios, than type aflash first and then just follow the instruction, good luck

Thanks, Han.

So, essentially, the Live Update utility is garbage? Anyone know if there is a reason it doesn't work with the CUBX?

Thanks again,

I'm running a Celeron 500 and until I get brave enough to play with it, it'll run at 500... It's my only system.
