Hei guys,
Maybe I'm dumb or something, but I can't seem to be able to flash my BIOS. I downloaded the .exe file on epox site, extracted it and put the whole content (.bin, awdflash, readme, update, & restore) to a floppy disk. Then I rebooted my computer, go to BIOS menu and select LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS, saved it rebooted again. I put the floppy in the drive. The instruction said that I should press ALT+F2 while booting. I did that, but nothing happen. I hold the ALT+F2, nothing. I hold ALT & press F2 multiple times nothing. So what gives? It finally get to the point that the comp tries to boot from the floppy and of course it fails (with "NTLDR is missing" error message). So how can I flash my BIOS using this ALT+F2 method??
 
You only have to put xxxxxxx.BIN in the floppy....NOT everything else.
Insert the Floppy in Floppy Drive. (make sure floppy drive is functioning)
Then boot the system..
Then when prompted, hit ALT+F2.
It's automatic from there, until it reboots BY ITSELF
 
My 8RDA+ came with a FLASH proggy on the EPoX disk..

I used it and it worked great.... But I haven't had that board for months.. (Sold it) but it still works, that I do know.

Have you tried that program.. cant remember the name...

EDIT: Found it.. it was called MAGIC FLASH
