Instructions on Installing A45-S120 BIOS Upgrade

1. From the bootable BIOS installation diskette. This is the recommended procedure whenever a diskette drive (internal, USB, or PCMCIA) is available on the target system.

   This is recommended over the second option (running in Windows) because you never know when Windows will hang with blue screen of death, or your firewall or antivirus software decided to stop your BIOS firmware flashing halfway.

2. From within Windows NT-based operating systems (XP, 2000, NT 4.0) using the Windows-based BIOS installer.
3. At startup by holding down the key immediately to the left of the spacebar.
4. From the bootable BIOS installation CD-ROM
5. Run CHGBIOSA.EXE at the command prompt.
