Help with flashing BIOS!

Hi,

I'm trying to flash the BIOS on my Abit AB9 Pro but I can't get all of the files onto the floppy!

Am I doing everything right?

I create an MS-DOS boot disk in windows
Copy files download in zip from Abit for BIOS update

At this point all the files will not copy onto the disk because the disk runs out of space.

The files im trying to copy are:

AB9_16.BIN
ABITFAE.BAT
RUNME.BAT
awdflash.exe

Any ideas??

Cool, I did have a look at that windows based flash thingy that abit does, my board wasn't in the supported list, I was gona go ahead and just use it but my bro advised me not to.

Shall I just go ahead and use it?

Nice idea that mate, I'll give that a go next time. I have used Flash menu (windows based) to update the BIOS, seems to have worked!

Would it also work if I created a bootable disc with Nero and then just put the files onto the disc too?

Wicked, thanks for that! I'll give it a go

I can't find any of those files on the floppy when I create an MS-DOS startup disk, there are only keyboard and VGA files 10 in total!
