I have an Asus CUSL2-C Motherboard and I put the aflash.exe and the bios image file on the floppy. But I don't know how to go in dos mode on Windows XP to flash the bios. Someone know how ??

Adding to the above post, download a 98/WinME bootdisk. Regardless of which OS you are running.

Or you could just do this:

  • Insert a floppy disk into your computer's floppy drive.
  • Open My Computer, and then click the floppy disk drive to select it.
  • On the File menu, point to the name of the floppy drive, and then click Format.
  • Under Format options, click Create an MS-DOS startup disk.

I am not even sure a bootdisk will help you solve the actual problem.

Will aflash.exe file fit on a bootdisk?

Anyway, give the 98 or ME bootdisk a try.

Good Luck :)

What order is your BIOS setup to boot from? If your BIOS does not check your floppy drive for a boot file before your HD then it will boot the HD first. Try changing the boot order in your BIOS so that the Floppy drive is checked first and then use a bottable disk with the flash utility.
