2.1.4 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 utility
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 2 is an auto recovery tool that allows you to
restore the BIOS le when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating
process. You can update a corrupted BIOS le using the motherboard
support CD, or the oppy disk that contains the updated BIOS le.
• Prepare the motherboard support CD, or the oppy disk containing
the updated motherboard BIOS before using this utility.
• Make sure that you rename the original or updated BIOS le in the
oppy disk to M2N-VMDH.BIN.
Recovering the BIOS from a floppy disk
To recover the BIOS from a oppy disk:
1. Turn on the system.
2. Insert the oppy disk with the original or updated BIOS le to the
oppy disk drive.
3. The utility displays the following message and automatically checks
the oppy disk for the original or updated BIOS le.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for oppy...
4. Restart the system after the utility completes the updating process.
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery...
Checking for oppy...
Floppy found!
Reading le “M2N-VMDH.BIN”. Completed.

When found, the utility reads the BIOS le and starts ashing the
corrupted BIOS le.
DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing
so can cause system boot failure!
