I have been wanting to update the BIOS on my motherboard for sometime now. I am not very familiar with BIOS updating. I have been reading on Abit's site about updating the BIOS on their website and I am a little confused. From Abit's site:
___
Copy the ABITFAE.BAT, AWDFLASH.EXE and latest BIOS file to the bootable diskette. Execute the EXE file to be a BIN file (Binary file).
Finally, just type ABITFAE ***_**.BIN where (*) is the Bin file. Then press (Enter) under A: prompt. It will be updated automatically by itself with all parameters.
___

How do you get to know the Bin file? I am not sure, but is it "BX6_**" where the ** is the bios version?

Also it recommends to make a bootable disk wich will automatically update the BIOS in the event of an update failure. When you make an autoexec.bat file, just create the file name and add the required content:
A:\AWDFLASH NEWBIOS /PY /SN /CC /CD
A:\AWDFLASH BH6_GY.BIN /PY /SN /CC /CD
again, mine would be the "BX6_**.BIN" where the ** is the bios version I think.

I know BIOS updating is a very sensitive opteration, and if not done correctly, I may be shopping for a new motherboard. ANY info anyone could give me would be GREATLY appreciated. Maybe someone could explain it to me in a little simpler way. THANKS!!!
