Question about updating BIOS

zenkmander · Apr 2, 2005, 08:07 AM

I recently purchased an ASUS motherboard, which is soon to be shipped. I realized, though, that the main way of updating the BIOS of a mobo is through a floppy disk. Unfortunately, my computer doesn't have a floppy drive. Is there any other possible way to update an ASUS BIOS?

Usually there's either a winflash type utility you can use for Asus boards, or you can boot off a cd into dos and update from the files on your hard drive.

So no worries.

if you use winflash just make sure your not overclocked and your systems stable.

The Windows utility to flash your BIOS for an ASUS motherboard is ASUSUpdate.
