Just installed a P3 800 FC-PGA on a ASUS CUSL2 board tonight. I'm thinking of flashing the bios from the 1001A to the 1003. Looks like I'll have to wait till ASUS has a flashing utility for Win ME as I don't see a way to fash with their current flashing utill that needs to run in pure DOS. But do any of you have a way to flash through Win ME ? or have you done so ?

Thanks.

i have done so many times, without any flaw. heres what to do. get a startup disk, then boot with it, and when you see the floppy first get intialized (green light goes on, or you hear it spin) start pressing the F5 key, and that will bypass ALL startup files and you will be in pure dos and flash at will. i have done this many times, havent failed yet.
