Hi, i recently upgraded my BIOS to a BETA version and its causing me some problems...so ive decided to go back to 1007 but i cant do it through Asus Update Utility. Is there a way that i can downgrade my bios through some type of Asus program?

Thanks
 
NEVER download any beta programs or especially bios. Beta means its in testing. You can download the flash utility and then download the bios file that you had on your computer originally or download the newest nonbeta bios file.
 
I have the flash utility BUT it says i need to update from dos

cant you put the BIOS and flash utility on floppy and boot it from that ?

EDIT: Ahh i see, can`t you get a dos based flash utility ??
 
you cant actually damage hardware by using beta bioses.
in order to do this you need to create a bootable floppy disk. this is done by formatting a floppy disk and selecting copy system files.
then, you unzip your flash program and older bios and copy those onto the disk, then boot using the disk and you should be able to flash your bios no problems.
i found that its better to flash in dos mode when i upgraded my bios, i never had problems with the windows utility when i was using it but downgrading the bios can be a problem with windows based utilities

*edit* there's another version of the program that will only work in dos. you need to download that. the one you showed in your screenshot is for windows only
 
Well, one problem with that...i hate floppy's so therfore i never installed a floppy drive. I do however have a USB drive.
 
i dont see why that shouldn't work. make sure you have the correct usb settings enabled in your bios to allow you to boot to dos with it, but you still need to get the dos boot files onto the drive, i dont know how to go about doing this
 
Does anyone know what files i need to copy to my usb drive in order to flash my bios?
 
I tried using the motherboard software program to change my bios...and thats the program thats in the picture above.

You can do it via CD too but you need to know you're way around making bootable CDs first :) And yes floppies suck

Is your USB drive bootable?
