I am trying to flash this MB. The reason is I have installed Windows 7 and need the latest BIOS with memory mapping to fully use 8GB RAM.

I downloaded the utility AFUDOS from Foxconn website and tried to flash from DOS boot disk but received error message something like BIOS does not support AFUDOS update.

Do you know if I need to change an MB jumper to allow this or do you think the BIOS has been locked and can it be unlocked?

Also is there a better way to flash it eg from within Windows?

Any help very appreciated, thanks.

Use the 64bit version of windows. the 32 bit version does not support anything beyond 3.2GB, windows is the problem, not your bios.
