2. Copy the AFUDOS utility (afudos.exe) from the motherboard support CD to

the bootable floppy disk you created earlier.

3. Boot the system in DOS mode, then at the prompt type:

afudos /i[filename]
where [filename] is the latest or the original BIOS file on the bootable floppy

disk.

Updating the BIOS file

To update the BIOS file using the AFUDOS utility:

1. Visit the ASUS website (www.asus.com) and download the latest BIOS file for

the motherboard. Save the BIOS file to a bootable floppy disk.

A:\>afudos / iP5BPE4L.ROM

Write the BIOS filename on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact BIOS

filename at the DOS prompt.

4. The utility verifies the file and starts updating the BIOS.

Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent

system boot failure!

A:\>afudos /iP5BPE4L.ROM
