A7V8X Bios stopped updating.

[Lee Collis]

Hello,

I'm having problems flashing my Bios using the ASUS update software in XP.
I have flashed it before but now won't upgrade past version 1009. I've tried
downloading the software as a file and through the ftp in the update
software but to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

Lee.

I have the ASUS A7N8X which has a BIOS build in updater. It shows up for 2
secs during the POST (I think ALT+F2 activates it).
My updater also hang but the build in works and expects the file on an A:
floppy drive. Maybe that works also for the VIA versions (I have the
NFORCE2).

I used the awdflash utility. But it won't work from my floppy disk. So I
installed win98 and moved the files on my hard disk. I started windows
in dos mode an it worked fine now. Maybe that the utility needs
diskspace for decompressing the .bin file.
