I received a Flash disk or download and when I try to flash the process is not automatic like it says in the manual. Why?

In order to accommodate all motherboards we must use a variety of flash
loaders. some of them come from the manufacturer of the motherboards some
are produced by our engineers. Some of the flash loaders do not allow for
command line parameters. The basic procedure for these Flash loaders is to
1: save the original BIOS when asked for a filename to save the original
BIOS to we suggest original.bin. 2: Update the BIOS. when selecting this
option you will be prompted for the filename to update the part number is
the filename for example if you recieved part F2A5KKA0A the filename would
be 2A5KKA0A.BIN. this can be verified by checking the files on the disk in
either "windows explorer" or "My Computer" or in DOS by typing DIR.

It is also possible that the FREE DOS that is included with the flash
diskette is causing problems and different boot files will need to be
used. In these cases, make a different boot disk, preferably a Windows 98
boot disk or MS-DOS boot disk and then copy the 3 files from our disk onto
that disk. The autoexec.bat, flash loader (either BFLASH, AWDFLASH,
AFLASH, etc.), and the BIOS binary file (it will have a .bin extension).

You can make a boot disk at www.bootdisk.com.

Once you have done this, then reboot with that disk.
