I have an Asus A7N8X-X mb, and i'm trying to upgrade the Bios.

The problem is that I formated a diskette in WinXP as a System disk, and when I restart i get a "Disk I/O error. Replace and press a key".

I tryed to format the diskette in a MS-DOS prompt, but it does't recognice the /S command.

What a hell can be wrong?

Download a BIOS Flashing Floppy Disk Creator from <A HREF="http://www.bootdisk.com" target="_new"> here </A> and use it.

That disk Sys Files Only Disk, just gets you to the DOS aspect of the computer to execute the flash from either a .bin file and the Flashing Utility stored on another Floppy or on the C:\> drive itself.


Look under the second header;

Driver Free Disk For Bios Flashing



By the way thoroughly read the M/B websites Flashing Instructions before you undertake flashing a BIOS, this is a serious step that could render your M/B Toast.

<b>Above all else Remember This:</b>
In the case of a failed M/B BIOS Flash, <b><font color=red>Do Not Turn the Computer OFF!</font color=red></b>
