Default updating the bios on A KG7.

need help.
I'm running windows XP home, and making a bootable floppy in Xp is diffrent
from ME or 2000, and they dont tell you how to do it on XP on the site.
I all ready downloaded the lastest Bios update.
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...ies=1&model=28

and downloaded awdflash uttility.
What do I do to create a bootable floppy then copy the files over to the
floppy that needed to be copied?
thanks.

Using XP's explorer put a floppy in the drive and right click on the a:
drive. Choose format and transfer system files. That's bootable.
As far as your cpu is concerned I'm running a 2400+ in mine and it's
recognized as such by the DS bios.
