Hello KniteWulfe!

Since this thread seems to have come back to life... I have noticed that in the windows ASUS internet update program it tells me the latest BIOS is 1007, just like shreader. I already have 1007 and was considering goin to 1008, but I'm not gonna risk using the boot disk since about 2 or 3 months ago my board was turned into a paper weight until I could get to an ASUS service center and have them hot-swap a bios chip for me. Any news as to why the ASUS update thinks 1007 is newest? I have the newest version of ASUS update too BTW. Has anyone had ASUS update find 1008?

I thought that explaining this (again) would be easy, but it turned out, that there is more to it.

First go to this site, and download the latest ASUSUpdate application, which is very new, dated 04-11-2004 07:31:00:

ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/BIOS/BIO...susupd53101.zip

The reason for this is, that when you use the ASUSUpdate program, it will tell you that:


The application has detected a newer version
from remote server, please press Next to
update it first.


And even if you have downloaded the latest ASUSUpdate application, from an Asus homepage download place, you will not get the version, of the application, that the link above, point you to. And you will still get the msg:

The application has detected a newer version, update it first etc.


You can try to use the Self-Update method, but I got an error, when the self update executed, after the download sequence was finished. It is possible to have the application downloaded as a *.zip file, as part of the Self-Update session, and you will be asked where to save the file.

In the case you do use the Self-Update method, and you get the error as I did, you can unpack the asusupd53101.zip file, that you saved, unpack it , and install it.

I find it easier to download and install the ASUSUpdate application in the first place.

Now to the BIOS update section :-)

Execute ASUSUpdate ( Programs/Asus/ASUSUpdate) and you are presented with an image, with the text:

Select Update Method

Here you can select which of these options, you want to use:


Save Current BIOS To A File
Update BIOS From A File
Update BIOS From The Internet
Download BIOS From The Internet
Check BIOS Information
Options


Choose:

Download Bios From The Internet

Push: Next

Next Image:

Select The Update Server

Choose:

ftp asuscom de

Next Image:

Select The Bios Version

Please Choose Bios File From The Combo Box

In the Combo Box choose:

K8V Deluxe 1008 Final (05.08.2004)

As I claimed before, the only server that holds the BIOS Ver. 1008, is ftp asuscom de, that is if you use ASUSUpdate when booted in Win2000/WinXP.

You can, however, go to respective Asus sites, and download the 1008 BIOS. The BIOS can then be flashed with ASUSUpdate, when you, at the first image choose:

Update Bios From A File

And point to the BIOS file you just downloaded.

In this case, you can probably use the ASUSUpdate version, that you already have installed. But then again, you still can not use the ASUSUpdate application for future BIOS updates.

Have I confused you? Hope not, as I did spend some time, using my minor English vocabulary, to make everything understandable.

Write back, and let me know how it went!

Have Fun!
