I have downloaded the correct, FE, BIOS update, unzipped it and copied the files P45UD3P2.FE, autoexec.bat and FLASHSPI.EXE to an otherwise blank USB key.
<o:p></o:p>
I have started the Qflash utility and have gone as far as the point where I find a choice named FLASHSPI.EXE and it looks like if I just highlight and click enter on this choice, well I guess the BIOS flash will proceed from there without any further action from me until it gets to the point where I have to reboot back into the BIOS. Or perhaps this too happens automatically as part of the BIOS flash? At which point I understand I will need to select Load Optimized Defaults, and all that other good stuff it mentions in the first post of the BIOS Flashing Guide.
<o:p></o:p>
Actually it all seems pretty simple as long as one follows the guide, well except for the previously mentioned couple of things I want to make sure of before I start.
<o:p></o:p>
First, at the end of the BIOS flashing process, does the system automatically reboot into BIOS, or do I need to be watching and be prepared to hit <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:State><st1:place>Del</st1:place></st1:State> to get into BIOS before Windows starts to load?
<o:p></o:p>
Second, on my USB key, should I have the files autoexec.bat and FLASHSPI.EXE, should I NOT have those files there, or does it not really matter? If they should not be there, or if it does not matter, then why are those files there in the first place, i.e. what is their purpose?

Oh, one other thing. What does he mean by keep DMI Data disabled, as in the instruction:
<o:p></o:p>
1. Flash your BIOS using Qflash (Keep DMI Data Disabled)
<o:p></o:p>
I can find nothing regarding DMI or DMI Data in my BIOS, nor can I find anything about it in the forum or anywhere else,

Thanks in advance.
