I guess you have to boot into dos to use afudos, problem is I,m running xp
and am not able to create a boot floppy to put the necessary files on . Any
how to's, would be greatly appreciated.

latest bios.

To create a bootable floppy, under xp, put the floppy in your floppy drive.
Right click on "My Computer" and click "Open".
In the newly opened window, right click on the floppy drive and click
"Format".
In the newly opened window, chose "Create an MS-DOS startup disk" and
click "Start".

Besides the boot floppy method from the other poster,
look into FreeDOS freedos.org fdos.org
You can make a bootable dos CD, which can be useful.

There is a procedure to load the bios from an unbootable floppy during
system startup. It's in the manual. Just make sure the bios has the right
name on the floppy.

you can also boot using the motherboard driver CD and boot with it.

All these people asking questions, and never bothered to read their own
manual.

Yea! I told someone to RTFM the other day, and he said "What does that
mean?". I didn't mention the CD because I has an older version of the BIOS,
and for people reading this that have a later CPU such as the 3.2Ghz,
installing an older version of the BIOS can give them a new problem.

So if your just going to tell people to RTFM why do you participate in a
newsgroup? Or am I taking your posts the wrong way?

Actually you are taking his post the wrong way.
Most people are too lazy to read the manual.
That's one reason a printed manual is actually
not included anymore.
