2-4 Chapter 2: BIOS information

• Obtain the AFUDOS utility (afudos.exe) from the bundled support DVD and the latest

BIOS le from the ASUS website at www.asus.com.

• We recommend that you write the BIOS lename on a piece of paper. You will need to

key in the exact BIOS lename at the DOS prompt later.

2.1.4 AFUDOS utility

The AFUDOS utility allows you to update the BIOS le in DOS environment using a bootable

oppy disk. This utility also allows you to copy the current BIOS le that you can use as

backup when the BIOS fails or gets corrupted during the updating process.

3. At the DOS prompt, key in afudos /i[lename]

where [lename] is the BIOS le in the oppy disk.

A:\>afudos /iM3N78SE.ROM

Press <Enter>.

Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent system boot

failure!

5. The utility returns to the DOS prompt after the BIOS updating process is completed.

Reboot the system from the hard disk drive.

Updating the BIOS le

To update the BIOS le using the AFUDOS utility:

1. Insert the bootable oppy disk into the oppy disk drive to boot the system in DOS

mode.

2. Replace the bootable oppy disk and insert the oppy disk that contains the AFUDOS

utility and the latest BIOS le.

• Ensure that you prepare two oppy disks: the bootable oppy disk and the oppy disk

containing the AFUDOS utility and the latest BIOS le.

• Ensure that the oppy disk is not write-protected and has at least 1072KB to save the

AFUDOS and BIOS les.

• The succeeding BIOS screens are for reference only. The actual BIOS screen displays

may not be the same as shown.
