BIOS update help for old mobo A586B

[winglesslight]

Hi, everone.
I have this SP-A586B Rev A (Superpower motherboard is out of business).
I want to upgrade BIOS to support large HDD.

I tried AFLASH.EXE from ASUS, it says cannot find BIOS hook.

If all you're doing is trying to support a large HD just use the manufacturers utility and save yourself a lot of headaches. Works just as well.
