I seem to be having trouble with flashing my bios as well, lol. Although mine is a software utility by Abit for windows. Their site/update software seem to suck.

use a boot disk from www.bootdisk.com

this is an excellent place for bootdisks. use one of the 9.x bootdisks instead of the one your using. they have a different versions and some custom versions available.

ok dudes i figured it out i had to use the dos 6.22 setup disk and cancel the install then i opened the flash util and since that ver of dos was so old it worked thx for the help dudes

All you need on the boot disk is three files from a MSDOS/Win9x/ME startup disk. The files are: -

command.com
io.sys
msdos.sys

then you just need to copy the flash app & bios file onto it
