My problem with P4C800-e bios update

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

You didn't enter the correct command to flash the BIO's. Here are some notes
I have on flashing the BIO's.
ASUS AFUDOS Command to flash P4C800 Deluxe Bio's from DOS Prompt:



afudos.exe/i<ROM filename> [/o<save ROM filename>] [/n] [/p[b][n][c]]



/i<ROM filename> load (I = in)
/o<ROM filename> save (o = out)


/n - Don't check ROM ID



/pbnc =

p - Program
b - Program Boot Block
n - Program NVRAM
c - Destroy System CMOS



Sample:

A:\>afudos.exe/iP4C800.rom /n /pbnc

After flashing to a new bios core, you need to clear the CMOS of old
settings that may still be resident (and now addressing the bios core
incorrectly due to offsets). Pressing F2 may resolve that, but if
not, you may need to power down, disconnect the AC cord, and move the
jumper temporarily from pins 1 and 2 of the CLRTC jumper to short pins
2 and 3 for several seconds. Pages 2-19 and 2-20 of the manual
explain this procedure.

Jeff, sorry I was remiss in not providing a link to the mb manual about
updating bios so here are two you can look at:

http://www.asus.com/support/downlo [...] df~zaqwedc

http://www.asus.com/support/downlo [...] uage=en-us

Links to the P4C800-E mb manual.
Look on page 4-3 for bios update procedure I described.
good luck,

isn't the correct syntax: A:\>afudos /ip4ced19.rom

i.e.--didn't you leave out the "i" in front of p4ced.19.rom??
