How to Flash BIOS?
I can't quite seem to figure out how to flash my P5E BIOS to 0702 from 0607.
When I enter the BIOS and load the flash program, it only sees the A:, C:, and D:, drives but I can't use any of them. A: is too small for a 2MB BIOS file, and C: and D: are NTFS. I do have a FAT32 thumb drive (and other USB harddrives) hooked to the USB ports, but the flasher sees none of them, just A:, C:, and D:. So I tried AFUDOS.exe, but that won't work because I've gotta be booted to Dos and Dos can't access anything but the A: drive (no USB devices) which is too small for a BIOS file. So how the heck do I flash the A5E BIOS? Thanks. Bruce. |

I'm all flashed and updated now. I guess for the BIOS/Dos flasher to work you have to have access to a FAT device over 2MB. I had read that I was supposed to be able to flash from a thumb drive but I couldn't get that to work. Bruce. |

How to Flash BIOS?
If you have a newer board use the bios update utility in the bios. Just put
the bios file on a flash drive and go into the utility. What ever you do do not under any instance use the windows flash unless you want to make a paper wait.

What ever you do do not under any instance use the windows flash unless you want to make a paper wait. Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, initially I just couldn't get the USB drive to be recognized by the BIOS flasher. Before I figured out why not, I used the Windows Flasher. I'm happy to report that it did work this time, although I strongly agree with your advice. What happened was I had a slew of USB devices attached and something was confusing the flasher. Once I disconnected everything but the thumb drive, the BIOS flasher saw it immediately. I was then able to use the BIOS flasher on the second P5E system I built in the last 2 weeks (mine and my wife's). Thanks. Bruce. |
