USB Flash Media Micro Code Flashing in DOS

DOS Flash (flashbin.exe, patch.opt) is the DOS compatible system BIOS flash method that can be used from any DOS bootable storage device. Patch.opt is the required driver for FlashBin.exe. Assign Password (assignpw.exe) can be used with DOS Flash if a Setup Password has been previously set on the target system. To flash the system BIOS Micro Code from a USB storage device, you will need to copy the contents of the DOS Flash folder to a bootable USB drive. To see a more complete description of the DOS flash utilities, view Flashbin.txt located in the DOS Flash folder. To view more information on making a DOS bootable flash media device, view DOSFM.txt in the DOS Flash folder. This folder also contains a binary image of the Micro Code. The binary image file is named UXX_MMmm.bin where "UXX" is the abbreviated BIOS family, "MM" is the major version number, and "mm" is the minor version number.
