Do youself a favor, and flash the BIOS from a floppy or USB stick, flashing from Windows is pretty dangerous.

Hi i have already tried doing it from usb stick flash runs through ok and says remove floppy and press f1 to reboot then i get bootblocker v1.0 come up and all i can do is boot from floppy or usb stick have had to put backup flash back on which has took me back to were i have started abit site says the bois need flashmenu updating first. do you know where i could find flashmenu or has anyone on here got it and could email it me thanks zerocool

FlashMenu is only a means of updating the BIOS & nothing actually related to the internal workings of the BIOS.
It's 1 of the better Windows flashing tools but you are safer doing it via DOS.

I have looked at both pages they very interesting is there anything u can see i am doing wrong i have flashed it from dos awdflash says it is writing and then says it has completed OK but then when i reboots i get boot blocker but if i re flash with original that awdflash backed up that's works ok but when i read all the different versions of bios on abit website first two are just as are but all rest it says in big red letters this bios is not supported by old flashmenu update flash menu first to 1.5.0.5 or later at this point i dont understand is there a later version of awdflash than one i am using or does it have to be flashed using flashmenu thanks Zerocool

are you using the version of awdflsh in the abit BIOS download package?

if you really must but you have been warned ...
ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/U...shmenu1508.zip (download currently working fine here)

hi buff sorry to keep bugging you i have clicked link you gave it downloads abit flashmenu but it is 0kb and when i try to open it i get an error saying file is unknown format or damaged i was using awdflash that was contained with the bois zip i got from abit do u think it is worth me trying the update previous to the most recent also do i need to use any specific flags to get it to work correctly as i would prefer to do it from dos but does not seem to work thanks for your time zerocool

Try this download link then.

The 2 earlier links that I gave you should cover any flags/switches if doing via DOS & make sure that you clear CMOS after the flash.
