so i tried it with a cd as some suggested and it loads, i created the flashcd.iso with afudos.exe and 1010.002 (latest bios driver), also tried 1010.rom and P5GD2.002, P5GD2.rom
and i get file cannot be found or not reconized
no idea what to do now!!!
do you think the motherboard is faulty?

intel p4 3ghz
asus p5gd2 premium
2gb ddr2 533
120gb sata II western digital
200gb sata II western digital
asus 3000extreme graphics card

Re: flashing bios issue

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what difference do the hard drives make when you are flashing the BIOS? Your bootable floppy (assuming you have a functional floppy disk drive) will just assume you don't have a hard drive loaded in the system and create a small RAM drive with the files necessary to create a DOS environment. As long as you're not trying to save the old BIOS configuration to the hard drive, you should be having no problems at all. Nothing is written to the hard drive when you flash the BIOS.
