Please insert a clean, unformatted disk into A:\ drive and boot the system into DOS mode. In DOS mode, please type in C:\> FORMAT A: /S or click on“My Computer”icon under Windows O/S, right click on drive A:\ and choose“Format”. By using the procedure above, you can create a boot disk without AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

I have the bios for my "A7V8X" But it isn executable. Appearently i have to "flash" using a diskett or a CD, im trying to figure it out how to make a bootable CD. So i can just restart my computer having my CD run first and install it from there.

Look it up in your motherboard's brand's page or look it up in a more specific forum, you might be able to get answers...

He can get updates here, if he posts his motherboard manufacturer and model number.
Use CPU-Z (Stickies, first one) to get that information.

It doesn't want you to reformat your damn computer, it wants you to format the floppy.

My computer -> Right click the floppy -> format the floppy -> put shit on it, when computer is starting, go to the boot menu (or set the order in the BIOS) and pick your floppy drive -> Follow whatever it says and it will flash your BIOS.

Make sure you have the right version and everything, the last thing you want is a brick of a motherboard.

Some manufacturers also have a tool that will flash from Windows. I hear this isn't as safe, but I've done it a shitload of times with no problems.

edit: I lied, can't link to what I wanted. I just searched A7V8X for model and got everything.

I am about to install with AWDFLASH.exe and A7V8X Beta BIOS 1015.003
Latest beta BIOS. Both files can be found in the dowload page after searching "A7V8X" > BIOS.

What i've done so far is, found a disk. Reformated it into ms-dos start up disk.

My currently problem is that im getting a I/O error when i try to boot up with the disk T_T

*EDIT*
Wait, am i supposed to just copy+paste the bios+AWDFLASH into the disk? because this part makes no sense.
