this utility.

1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS web site. Rename the file

folder of the support CD to the floppy disk with the latest BIOS file.

3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable floppy disk you

created earlier.

floppy disk containing the new BIOS file and the Award BIOS Flash
