Hello, I have a question about updating BIOS via Floppy. I have followed the exact instructions located here:
http://www.abit-usa.com/downloads/bioshelp.php
I extracted all of the files from the zip onto the floppy which were named:
ABITFAE.BAT
KN8_14.BIN
RUNME.BAT
awdflash.exeThe problem is that when I try to boot the floppy with those files, I get an error saying:
"Remove disks or other media
Press any key to continue"I know that it means that there are no bootable files on the floppy, but they are. So why isn't this working?

Make a bootable floppy disk and copy the necessary files onto it.
If that's what you did, then try another (different) boot diskette
(I thought you had a degree or something?)
Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is not more a science than a heap of stones is a home

Here's how I would do it....
- create a WinME boot floppy & have a 2nd floppy containing awdflash.exe & KN8_14.BIN
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
- boot off a WinME boot floppy & select "Minimal Boot" (I think it's option 4)
- after it stops at the A:\> prompt, remove the boot floppy & insert the floppy with the BIOS files
- then type AWDFLASH & hit the ENTER key
- follow the onscreen instructions from there
NOTE: save the old BIOS as OLDBIOS.BIN & it will be backed up to the BIOS floppy
