Dear all

I am having some problems in upgrading my Bios. I have followed the instructions which seem quite straight forward but then hit a bit of a wall when I try to switch drive from floppy drive (a) to main drive (c). I type c: & nothing happens , is it because I have converted for FAT32 to NTFS ? If so can anyone tell me how to switch directories or walk me through another method of Flash upgrading my Bios ?
Thanks in advance – SPIT.

My system details are :
XP home edition
MANUFACTURER Micro-Star
MANUFACTURER PART# MS-6340
PLATFORM Socket A
PROCESSOR TYPE Athlon, Duron,
CHIPSET VIA KT-133
FORM FACTOR microATX
AGP SLOTS 1 x AGP 4X
PCI SLOTS 3
MAX RAM 1GB
DIMM SOCKETS 2

I know that when you are using a start up disk without the NTFS driver that you can't access NT file system.

Why do you have to go on to your c: drive? Copy all the files needed for the bios upgrade to your a:\ disk, and flash it that way.

I know also that abit has a windows based flash utility, and it worked fine for me...

and optimally you would copy the flash file TO the floppy, rather then reading it from the harddrive

so just copy the flash file to the floppy, then flash
