Afudos.exe program question?

Thanks for replying Hyp,

Asus suggests not to use the ezflash for v1015 and v1016 on the p4p800
deluxe boards.

They suggest that the afudos program is the one to use.

What to do now?

Ted

The manual says that to Backup the existing BIOS you need to use the command
AFUDOS /o<biosfilename>.
Then to install the new BIOS use the command AFUDOS /i<biosfilename>.
You dont get the old 1, 2, 3, 4, Menu as with the older BIOS flash utility.

Thank you, Freddie,

DUH! I've read the manual many times and have seen the instructions. I
just forgot about them. As they say, "The mind is the first to go". It
sure is rough getting old. LOL!

Regards,

Ted
