The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 is an auto recovery tool that allows you to

restore the BIOS file when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating

process. You can update a corrupted BIOS file using a floppy disk that

contains the updated BIOS file.

Prepare a floppy disk containing the updated motherboard BIOS before

using this utility.

Recovering the BIOS from a floppy disk

To recover the BIOS from a floppy disk:

1. Turn on the system.
2. Insert the floppy disk with the original or updated BIOS file to the

floppy disk drive.

3. The utility displays the following message and automatically checks

the floppy disk for the BIOS file.

4. Restart the system after the utility completes the updating process.

so can cause system boot failure!
