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 USB flash drive.
Write the BIOS filename on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact BIOS
filename at the DOS prompt.
2. Copy the AFUDOS utility (afudos.exe) from the motherboard support CD to
the bootable USB flash drive.
3. Boot the system in DOS mode, and then at the prompt type:
afudos /i[filename]
where [filename] is the latest or the original BIOS file on the bootable USB
flash drive, and then press <Enter>.
