Copy the AFUDOS.EXE utility from the support CD to the bootable
floppy disk that contains the BIOS file.

Boot the system from the floppy disk.

At the DOS prompt, type the command line:

afudos /i

copied to the bootable floppy disk.

The utility will copy the current system BIOS by default to the floppy
disk. Make sure that the floppy disk is not write-protected and have
enough space (at least 600KB) to store the file.

When the BIOS copy process is complete, the utility returns to the
DOS prompt.

5.1.3 Using AFUDOS to update the BIOS

The AFUDOS is a DOS-based application that lets you update the BIOS
file using a bootable floppy diskette. AFUDOS also allows you to copy the
original BIOS file to a floppy diskette.

To update the BIOS using the AFUDOS.EXE:

1.

Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS
file for your motherboard. Save the BIOS file to the bootable floppy
disk you created earlier.

Write down the BIOS file name to a piece of paper. You need to type
the exact BIOS file name at the prompt.
