Iam trying to revive my old ASUS TUSI-M 1.1Ghz board, its bios needs to be flashed, it can only boot asking for a floppy, I created a bootable floppy in XP on my other machine and copied flash programs in it at ASUS website, i tried booting my floppy startup disk on the other machine and it booted in MSDOS fine but after i inserted the floppy disk on the PC iam trying to flash the bios it said "insert a bootable floppy" iam using the same floppy drive why cant it boot on the other machine? is it the dos version?
 
i've had little experience with floppies... but when i did they could be fussy. try using another floppy.
 
A floppy drive can also go out of alignment. If that happens, it will begin to live in its own world and won't accept disks formatted on drives with another (correct) alignment. Worst case. (Even worse: the drive just doesn't work :-)

I feel sorry for you.
 
just create a boot cd.
or copy to the hd and boot to dos mode.

My question now is why are you flashing?
is it a critical update, faster or what. ya better read about
the flash and what it does 1st. want to shut down this is a good
place to do it.
 
as what i have said in my first post, i have created a floppy startup disk on my other machine and tested it, i let the floppy boot on my first machine it booted nicely, using the same floppy drive and floppy. I booted it on my old p3 system but it only said unable to boot from floppy, the reason i wanted to flash my bios on my old p3 system is that the BIOS is broken and when i boot it up it shows just a black screen and ask for a floppy and nothing else.

has anybody of you never tried flashing your mobo's bios before?

I tried to flash mine since there is no other media I can use in an old system only floppy, its the only way i can revive this mobo. please read my first post..

Try putting the BIOS on the floppy again

Try a different floppy.

Try different floppy drive

If none of those worked, then your bios is most probably beyond repair, apart from that above, there isn't much you can do but count your losses
