OK some questions just to make sure I understood everything.

- Step 2. Create a pure bootable diskette by including only the Drvspace*.bin file, Io.sys and the AWDFLASH.EXE onto the diskette.

Where are the files Drvspace*.bin and IO.sys?

- Type Awdflash *.bin /sn/py/cc and then press "ENTER" to run BIOS upgrade program. (*.bin depends on your Mainboard Model and version code). Instead of typing *.bin, you should replace the * with the specific .bin file name for your Mainboard.

So, I have to type Awdflash 65fvc1.bin, and then I'll wait.

And where should I put that 65fvc.bin file? It is not saying to put it in the floppy!! So where should I place it?

Thanks :)

OK..lol..Just do it this way.

You are on XP right?

Pop in a blank floppy
Open My Computer
Right Click on the Floppy drive
Choose Format
Check "Create an MS-DOS startup disk"
Click Start

After the format is done,copy both the awdflash and the 65fvc1.bin to the floppy.

Now what you have is a bootable floppy with the files you need.

Boot from the floppy
Once you get your prompt you will type awdflash 65fvc.bin /sn/py/cc and press enter.

Sit back for a sec and let it do its job.It should tell you when its finished and ask you to reboot.
