How do I make a DOS / command prompt boot CD?!?

That seems to involve BUYING the files!

Download and extract the Foxconn liveupdate from the bottom of their page for that board. Run it and it will update the Bios if required and restart.
No need to make anything.

Hi hucker,

Just for curiosity's sake, I created a bootable CD exactly as outlined in Bios-boot-cd - Howto: BIOS-Update per bootable CD - www.biosflash.com

I booted my desktop from that CD.

(Sorry for the bad picture) The picture shows Command.com, Zafudos.exe and
*. ROM , the latter two being the Bios for my Zotac Mini PC.

So follow the procedure to the dot and you should be able to get the BIOS files into the CD and boot from it. Boot from the CD and check.



If you can run the live update as indicated by cyclic, all the more fine. But I ran a quick check to verify the boot CD works or not. It does work.

I did try that Jumanji, but it just didn't work for me. I ended up with only the command.com appearing.

I'm trying the fox liveupdate - I never realised that did BIOS too - why didn't they say that on the webpage?

GRRRRRR...... the liveupdate has told me I'm running version P04 (this agrees with CPUID). There is a P06, but the online update function says "you are already up to date"! I tried the manual update (using the P06 files I downloaded), but it doesn't get to asking me to select the files, it just says something about enabling a jumper. Presumably it's referring to a jumper to enable writing to the BIOS, but according to the manual, there isn't one. The picture shown in the update program shows a jumper marked "MFG", but this is for the Intel Management engine, so nothing to do with BIOS updating.
