Using Afudos To Update The Bios - Asus Vintage User Manual

5.1.3 Using AFUDOS to update the BIOS

The AFUDOS is a DOS-based application that lets you update the BIOS
file using a bootable floppy diskette. AFUDOS also allows you to copy the
original BIOS file to a floppy diskette.
To update the BIOS using the AFUDOS.EXE:
1. Download the latest BIOS file from the website provided by the
system builder.
Write the BIOS filename on a piece of paper. You need to type the exact
BIOS file name at the prompt.
2. Copy the AFUDOS.EXE utility from the support CD to the bootable
floppy disk that contains the BIOS file.
3. Boot the system from the floppy disk.
4. At the DOS prompt, type the command line:
afudos /i[filename.rom]
where [filename.rom] means the latest (or original) BIOS file that you
copied to the bootable floppy disk.
5. Press <Enter>. The screen displays the status of the update process.
The BIOS information on the screen is for reference only. What you see
on your screen may not be exactly the same as shown.
A:\>afudos /iP4S800-MX.rom
