Kevin,

You will need a DOS boot disk with no autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
These are not required and you do not want to load himem.sys or any memory
programs.

During the boot disk boot-up, enter your BIOS setup and disable the internal
and external caches.  Then reboot using the disk to the a: prompt.

From there, simply run the Award flash program and follow the steps.  You
will need to know the name of the BIOS update you what to flash (*.bin
format).

Hope this helps!

Tim
