AFLASH.EXE: This is the Flash Memory Writer utility that updates the BIOS by

uploading a new BIOS file to the programmable flash ROM chip on the motherboard.

To determine the BIOS version of your motherboard, check the last four numbers of

the code displayed on the upper left-hand corner of your screen during bootup. Larger

numbers represent a newer BIOS file. This file works only in DOS mode.

NOTE: The following screen displays are provided as examples only and may not

reflect the screen contents displayed on your system.

IMPORTANT:

If "unknown" is displayed after Flash Memory:, the memory

chip is either not programmable or is not supported by the ACPI BIOS and

therefore, cannot be programmed by the Flash Memory Writer utility.

1. Save Current BIOS To File

This option allows you to save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS in case you

need to reinstall it. It is recommended that you save AFLASH.EXE and the BIOS file

to a bootable floppy disk.

To save your current BIOS,

type [1] at the Main Menu

and then press <Enter>. The

Save Current BIOS To File

screen appears. Type a

filename and the path, for ex-

ample, A:\XXX-XX.XXX

and then press <Enter>.
