2-4 Chapter 2: BIOS Setup
2.1.3 AFUDOS utility
The AFUDOS utility allows you to update the BIOS le in DOS environment using
a bootable oppy disk with the updated BIOS le. This utility also allows you to
copy the current BIOS le that you can use as backup when the BIOS fails or gets
corrupted during the updating process.
Copying the current BIOS
To copy the current BIOS le using the AFUDOS utility:
1. Copy the AFUDOS utility (afudos.exe) from the motherboard support CD to
the bootable oppy disk you created earlier.
2. Boot the system in DOS mode, then at the prompt type:
afudos /o[lename]
where the [lename] is any user-assigned lename not more than eight
alphanumeric characters for the main lename and three alphanumeric
characters for the extension name.
• Make sure that the oppy disk is not write-protected and has at least
1024KB free space to save the le.
• The succeeding BIOS screens are for reference only. The actual BIOS
screen displays may not be same as shown.
4. Insert the oppy disk that contains the BIOS le to the oppy disk drive.
When the correct BIOS le is found, EZ Flash performs the BIOS update
process and automatically reboots the system when done.

• Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent
system boot failure!
• A “Floppy not found!” error message appears if there is no oppy disk in
the drive. A “M2V_MX SE.ROM not found!” error message appears if the
correct BIOS le is not found in the oppy disk. Make sure that you rename
the BIOS le to M2V_MX SE.ROM.
