It may flash from a bootable DOS diskette. You can get a bootable DOS diskette image from Abit at this link:

You will then need to put onto the disk the Award flash program, the correct BIOS image and an autoexec.bat file containing the command line to invoke the flash.

Can you test the boot diskette in another PC (without the flash command in autoexec) ?

I hope you executed the file you downloaded from bootdisk.com to make a bootdisk and didn't copy it to the floppy, that won't work.

execute the bootdisk.com file to make a bootable floppy, then copy awdflash.exe and your biosold.bin to it and edit the autoexec.bat file with the command.

that error occurs because my version of DOS is 6.0 , but when i try to run on Dos the awdflash and load my bin file it says that my bios haven´t been upgraded.But afternoon i will try other bin file.

Keep in touch... :roll:
