Cmd prompt appearing after psot

[Guest]

Just installed the utility asus software for a p6t deluxe v2. After post I am having to hit tab key an F8 to bypass a command prompt. The prompt is asking me to make a boot disk of something, I do not have a 3.5 floppy installed nor do I want one to install.

How do I uninstall this or stop this from appearing? I am using windows 7 ultimate

You can use a CD/DVD disk as a boot disk.

Thats the problem. The only prompt drive it will give me is a:\ then asks for me to hit esc to exit back to c:\ or hit enter for yes.

If I hit enter for yes it looks for A drive.

The only option to break out is to hit ctrl-alt-del an start a soft boot. I then have to wait for the post an hit tab key then F8.

After hitting F8 a dos window appears asking me to choose to boot from floppy, hard drive or dvd.

I have tried the entire alphabet to get the drive letter on the DVD but the dos prompt does not recognize any drive except A an C

OK,
What was that 'utility software' you installed. Did it have specific install instructions?

It is the motherboard asus utility cd which comes with the express gate updater. But it also has all the motherboard hardware drivers on it

The following driver software list:

Asus Install
Intel chipset inf update program
soundmax/adi audio driver
marvell 61xx sata driver
asus turbo v
asus epu 6-engine
asus express gate ssd

You can start Win7 after bypassing the command prompt? It doesn't seem to be a Win7 issue.
Are you asking the same question in the Asus support forums?

The express gate updater doesnt fucntion due to the fact it is looking for an image file to update with the extension .dfi

I have not asked the same question yet in asus forum. I am working on my system as we speak.

But you are corerct. Due to my haste this would not be a windows 7 issue but an asus issue.

You're more likely to get a quick answer in the Asus forum.
Since your post title here doesn't actually mention the P6T Deluxe v2 motherboard / ExpressGate issue, you'll have to get lucky to have a P6T Deluxe v2 decide to look in on this topic.

Or you could try the THG Motherboard forum.
-> Just be sure to label the topic so people know you're talking about P6T Deluxe v2 / ExpressGate issue.
