Vektor Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I haven't needed one for so long Mine has been broken for two years and I've never needed to get it fixed. From reading here at the forums it seems as if I must get one to create a bios flashing disk. Since I haven't built my new box and since I'll be using my only case hence disassembling my other box I'd better get a floppy drive throw it in this box, and make a bios flashing floppy with the latest bios. Which one should I use ?I see alot of oskar wu info and am unclear what thats all about. Also I'm buying a mobo combo from Monarch which is supposedly pretested and should already be X2 compatible. Does dfi have a bios flashing utility?. I've used asus's for years with very good results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 you can flash with winflash from windows, or with the cd-rom iso that Pershoot has created http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...045&postcount=3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkarnold Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 yep. DFI uses the AWARD bios flash utility Btw: you don't need a floppy.. I do all my flashing from a 'usb' stick.. which ive made bootable. More reliable than a floppy too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Nice!! I have a 1 gb memorex thumb drive > Any instructions on how I can make it bootable? and which version should I use? The latest I'd imagine But what about the Oskar Wu bios's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 thumb drive = google for how to make it bootable (and search these forums, there's a thread around here somewhere) bios = 6/23 is the latest. but you should read this: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11754 (even if you are not overclocking) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I shouldn't waste thier time with stupid questions I can easily look up myself, That I think I get. If there is another profound "it" I am completely missing, do tell. Or if you just like being rude to noobs while they find their footing in an unfamiliar forum, I sincerely hope I can afford you some entertainment. I''m probably ruining any chance I have of getting some real help here when I need it, but f(_(ck it, I've had a hard day,and I've been at quite a few new forums lately and there is always some totally superior person, that rather than be helpful, or constructively critical, or merely silent, just can't help but be mean and hurtful.

He knows better. He is not normally like that. Just ignore him for the time being. you are honest and say you dont have the board yet so that is good enough. Know that when you get your board we'll need to know your bios version if you do need help. All you have to do is ask and we'll do what we can.

cmay119 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Monarch is definately a good place to order through. I like the fact that they'll pretest your hardware along with flashing to the latest bios if neccesary to get every thing in order and working properly. Have fun with your new system. Every thing in your sig looks great. Nice choice on the PSU especially . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
