I have never done a bios update before. I downloaded file s5a011119 from ecs which should correct a problem Im having with th xp 1900 after doing some reading I believe information about this procedure in the mainboards users guide may have be inaccurate. This was the only bios file dated 11/09 and later available (which is what I am looking for). On page 36 of the motherboards user guide there is a AMI flash utility instructions.
it says to use file ami8xx.exe in dos(which i understand) were 8xx is the version number. How does this relate to the updated bios i downloaded named s5a011119 (I dont understand). Also it says this utility lets you erase the system bios stored on flash chip and copy updated bios. Is this true without doing anything to the jumpers. I am confused and need the wisdom of someone more tecnically advanced Please help
