Hello
I have read the Q-Flash guide as I am thinking of buying EP45-DS4, now I get the part that says you have to extract the .Fxx file from the downloaded .exe file from gigabyte and I see no .Fxx file. Please see attched file to output of winrar.
Furthermore, can I assume if you tell me the file is the file called 1MB .f8 file then from there can we see if my procedure is correct.
1. Copy ep45ds4.f8 and FlashSPI.exe to USB drive (FAT32)
2. Reboot PC, and reboot to enter bios.
3. Load Optimized Defaults, set the ram voltage to the specified Voltage for your ram
4. Go into the Hard Disk Boot Priority Option In Advanced BIOS Features Page and select your USB drive as the first bootable drive.
5. Reboot.
6. Once it boots to the USB, you will see a Windows 98 screen, and then the DOS prompt.
7. Run flash utility by typing "flashSPI ep45ds4.f8" without the quotes at the DOS prompt
***DO I ALSO NEED TO USE THE HPUSBFW program to make the USB stick I intend to save the BIOS file bootable first?****
thanks
