k8v se deluxe

[clydesdaledonkey]

i have bios version 1001 and asus says not to use thek8sedx file to use the afudos if you have less than version 1003. i downloaded afudos211 i run it and it just brings up a dos dialog and then closes it. it doesnt update my bios or do anything as far as i can tell. The reason i need to flash the bios is because i bought a 250gb hard drive and windows only recognizes 130gb of it. and suggestions please help.

Flash through Windows using ASUS's Flash Utility. Isn't 1004 out too?

download the BIOS. rename it k8v.rom. put it on a floppy. press f8 (not sure what key) at boot. follow directions on screen. I was confused at first, too.

yea, im wondering, what key to press to boot to BIOS?

 

[yankeesfan]

press ALT-F2 to flash bios at boot with the floppy in. press delete to enter bios.

I would not recommend using ASUS's windows based flash utility, as there is a much higer chance of screwing up your flash by using windows based flashing programs on many motherboards. I dunno if it's true for this one, but why take the chance? I suggest flashing from the floppy.
