right, Have bios. Have CD. Have awdflash.exe

Put files on the cd and nothing happened at re-boot.

Manual says:boot the system in dos mode. How do you do that on a vista system? also the CD rom isnt bootable its just there with the files on and it wont let me format it to be DOS bootable in windows.

Help pl0x

Well, I may not be the most knowledgable when it comes to computers, but i think i can solve one of your problems. when you first startup your computer, enter the regular bios, and change the boot order. Make your cd drive the primary(mine had the floppy as primary even though i dont have a floppy drive). Then restart and let it boot from the cd. Hope this helped!

I did that but seen as the CD is not bootable it wont work like that. Maybe if I make an iso out of it and make the iso bootable onto the disk?
