I loaded the new 1004 bios , and I don't care for it . Tried to go back to 0910 and I get an error saying, (this bios is too old). how do I get back to the old ? Thanks
 
Use bootable floppy or USB stick in DOS mode and download the latest AFUDOS flashing software (latest 2.26) from Asus support site and use it to flash the mobo ! It is far the best & safe method to flash a mobo, trust me ! :D

It doesn't matter if I do use AFUDOS or the flash program in the bios, it still says the same thing , bios is too old .
 
AFUDOS.EXE command line syntax

afudos /i<ROM filename> [/o<save ROM filename>] [/nr] [/p[n][c]]

/nr - don't check ROM ID

/pbnc -

b - Program Boot Block

n - Program NVRAM

c - Destroy System CMOS


Usually I used /PBNC and maybe you need to try /NR.
 
Aldy402 over at extreme forums led me to the right place . It's an old afudos
from 2003 downloaded from asus ftp server and it worked like a charm , back to 0910. Thank you all you guys for your help , I do appreciate it
 
Im stuck with 1004 bios (
on my old 0910 bios mobo worked well with 400 fsb.
but when i have flashed 1004 it bearly deals with 370.
Its tragedy to me,because i cant downgrade to 0910.
I have tried all the methods including asusupdate (both versions)
afudos and alt-f2 fllash method.All they say that they cant flash it.
I have also watched my driver disk,but found no help from it.
PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!!
 
and afudos /pbnc /n (/nr)keys didnt helped. ive tried old afudos version (from cd) still no results (before i tried new one
 
one more interesting thing when it to 1004 flashed it it wrote after boot : Bios checksum is bad
!!!
no good (

Why don't you guys use EZ flash , did it all the time hasn't let me down ( yet)

Easyflash will not work with this bios , I tried it twenty times before I gave up . This bios is a dangerous . It's a crapshoot at best. I would not recommend anybody trying this bios. It took me four hours to finally get back to 0910.
