Utility Folder Installation Notes

Award Flash Memory Utility
This utility lets you erase the system BIOS stored on a Flash
Memory chip on the mainboard, and lets you copy an updated
BIOS to the chip. Take care how you use this program. If you
erase the current BIOS and fail to write a new BIOS, or write a
new BIOS that is incorrect, your system will malfunction.
