I've been trying to flash a friend's BIOS for hours but can't seem to get this method to work or Asus's AFUDOS utility to work. I don't know where to place the .ROM file using the first method and AFUDOS keeps telling me that this version is not supported with this version of Windows blah blah blah when I know for a fact I'm downloading the right file.

Are there any other methods to flash from DOS? Or can someone here who has used the method from notebookreview clarify where I place the BIOS? I made a folder and named it clevo, but both the refresh and phlash16 command failed.

Edit: Oh right, this motherboard (Asus P5GC-MX/1333) apparently does NOT have Asus EZ Flash 2, so that's not an option.

DOS folder? After I format the drive with the proper boot files, the drive is empty. :banghead:
 
um are you trying to flash in DOS?? sounds like you are trying a windows flash otherwise afudos would not say "this version of windows not supported" you MUST flash from a dos enviroment

scaminatrix that is the method that will work

also dont ever use asus afudos nor any of their bullshit flashing utilities (except ez flash that works great)
 
I ended up figuring out how to use AFUDOS via a Youtube video. It worked great, a quick flash and the system is 100% stable.
