Motherboard updates - Page 3

Yeah, at this point, I would go with the CD, floppy, or flash drive methods over Winflash just because of your 64-bit Vista operating system.

Go with the lower level dos update....

With Asus boards they have an option built in the bios, and one that you can run from a floppydisk\usb drive AND and Windows utility that works in vista 64, ok I will stop bragging now. lol

With #1..... rather than go through all that, try the windows button + pause/break

2 buttons instead of 5 clicks

That brings up system properties not system information.

I tried to Dload Nero and im getting webpage cannot be displayed.Can I use windows DVD maker to do the burning?

**gvblake22** · February 8th, 2008

With the CD's, I think you need to have it be set up as bootable media (which I'm not sure if Windows DVD Maker can do). Can you check and see if that option is available in that program? Have you checked out the this guide?

yes, with CDs, I believe you need to have an ISO image.....and that can be a pain in the ass for the inexperienced.

ISO Recorder v 2

I have found that to record an iso the free version of nero works great.

Caveat: I didn't look at all the individual posts in this thread, but when it comes to BIOS flashing, AVOID flashing from any kind of flash utility that (alleges to) work in Windows. Forums are littered with woeful tales of Bricked BIOS - just do NOT do it.
I use Win98SE boot floppy method (or Asus EZBIOS2 code to flash the BIOS from within the BIOS, but even that makes me nervous so I go DO method).
