Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Bios Update Question

[scorpion_anshul]

Hello all,

I have just got a GA-EX58-UD5 motherboard for my i7-920 and wanted to update its Bios to the latest version F4. I read that its possible to do so by using a USB flash drive.

I want to know whether a normal 2GB usb Pen drive i have can solve the purpose or a pen drive and a usb flash drive are two different things (a noobish question i think)?

Also, since i have no prior experience of updating the bios and if my pen drive can solve the purpose, how can i do that, a brief step by step instruction or a link to the same will be appreciated

thanks a lot bilbat that's a very nice link..
just one question left unanswered, usb flash drives and usb pen drives are same thing or different?

 

[bilbat]

Same thing - be sure to turn on "Legacy USB Support" in the BIOS before flashing...
