HigHTecHReDNecK · 08-February-06, 12:23 AM

Got a question / problem for ya ....

I'm tryin to flash the bios on an Asus P2B-D board, runnin XP Pro. I've tryed the to get it to power up and go into dos mode but it wont. Tryed 98boot disk, tryed the AFLASH.exe floppy, tryed makin an MS-Dos start up disk and nothing seems to work.

Any idea's ?? or is there a way to go into Dos from power up that im missin' ?? tryed all the F keys too and it still wont go to dos and give a command promt

. Every disk i try , it give me some error like wrong disk, I/O error and crap.
