BIOS Update without floppy
G'day all
Since we no longer use floppy discs anymore, i find it annoying that many BIOS updates still require them. ASUS pretend they have got around this with their ASUS Update. It doesn't work for me. I keep getting the error message "sorry there's no proper BIOS image file on the server" despite attempting all servers available on the update program. the FTP site doesn't appear to work either. Any suggestions? I'm sure others have managed to update their ASUS mobo BIOS without a floppy. I'm using an ASUS A8V Deluxe - current BIOS version 1008.003 Thanks in advance B1. |

Make a bootable CD with the BIOS file on it. John Please remove "NOSPAM" if sending email. |

It should merely have to have the BIN file on it. I actually have a floppy just to make flashing easier, so I've never tried EZ Flash with a nonbootable CD, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Perhaps you should install one. ASUS pretend they have got around this with their ASUS Update. It doesn't work for me.

Are you using the latest version of the update program? Have you tried downloading the bios then installing with the latest windows update program from the hard drive?

Are you using the latest version of the update program? Have you tried downloading the bios then installing with the latest windows update program from the hard drive? Bill For me that has worked fine several times. I'm not longer weary of flashing from Windows. |

Download the bios and point the program to it. Or use one of the following and the bios file you downloaded: The flash function built in to the ASUS bios, it's in the manual. USB thumb drive. Bootable cd. USB floppy. Stephen -- |

Nope! Either a CD or a USB flash drive will work. I've successfully flashed my system using a USB thumb drive. Much faster than using a floppy anyhow. This depends on the model. Newer boards supports usb-memory, while a bit older boards with EzF need floppy or CD. -- Clas Mehus - "Den som har flest prylar när han dör vinner..." |
