5.1.3. ASUS.CrashFree.BIOS.2.utility
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 the motherboard support CD that contains the
updated BIOS file.
Prepare the motherboard support CD containing the updated motherboard BIOS
before using this utility.

1. Remove any floppy disk from the floppy disk drive, then turn on the system.
2. Insert the support CD to the optical drive.
3. The utility displays the following message and automatically checks the floppy
disk for the original or updated BIOS file.
4. Restart the system after the utility completes the updating process.
