Hey all :)

I downloaded Award Flash Utility v8.23 (v8.24 is for systems built after 2003, or so they say),
booted to DOS and ran it.

It asked me to name a file, I entered name of it and it said:
"BIOS image file is for nForce Chipset only."

Nothing happened, my BIOS is still v6.0

I am lost, please advice.

tnx :)

Yes, A7V-E BIOS latest version is what I need...

any suggestions?
(I am running a search on the net as we speak)

tnx
:)

added:

I found 1003 version (http://usa.asus.com/download/mbdriver/socketa.htm )
but the file is not *.bin but *.amd.

What do ya all say? Can I use this file with Award Flash Utility v8.23?

tnx

:)

File extension is *.awd, not *.amd

Yes, thank you. Your help is greatly appreciated.
All went fine :)

The reason I wanted to update BIOS was my new 200GB HDD. I can only use 130GB of it, even now after BIOS update.

Any suggestions, please?

thank you for your time :)

W2K/SP4 should be able to adress space above 128GB even if the Bios only shows 128 out of a 200Gb HDD.
