5.1.4 AwardBIOS Flash Utility

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the

AwardBIOS Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using

this utility.

1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS web site. Rename the file

to P5VD2MX.BIN and save it to a floppy disk.

Save only the updated BIOS file in the floppy disk to avoid loading the

wrong BIOS file.

2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdflash.exe) from the Software

folder of the support CD to the floppy disk with the latest BIOS file.

3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable floppy disk you

created earlier.

4. When the A:> appears, replace the bootable floppy disk with the

floppy disk containing the new BIOS file and the Award BIOS Flash

Utility.

5. At the prompt, type

awdflash then press

<Enter>. The Award

BIOS Flash Utility

screen appears.
