Create a bootable system floppy disk.
Download an updated ASRock BIOS file (WinZip format with .zip file extension) from the web site, unzip the BIOS file and save both AFUDOS.EXE utility and BIOS file to the disk you created in step 1.
Boot from the disk you created in step 2.
At the "A:\" prompt, type AFUDOS, hit space bar once, and type BIOS file name then press "Enter". For example: A:\AFUDOS ANF7R301 "Enter" then you will see a message "Please wait for BIOS loading ROM".
After 30 seconds, you will see the message "Program ended normally", then you have finished upgrading the BIOS.
After finishing upgrading the BIOS, please remove the floppy disk. Restart your system and press "F2" to enter the BIOS setup utility during boot up.
In Exit menu, please select "Load Default Settings" and press "Enter" to continue.
Select "Exit Saving Changes" and press "Enter" to exit the BIOS setup utility.

1.The BIOS version can be found during system boot up.
2.The BIOS version can be found in BIOS setup utility.



Notice

If you encounter problems while updating the new BIOS, DO NOT turn off your system since this corrupt BIOS might cause your system failed to boot up. Just repeat the process, and if the problem still persists, update the original BIOS file. If the Flash Memory Writer utility was not able to successfully update a complete BIOS file, your system may not be able to boot up. If this happens, your system will need service.

How to Update the S3 Graphics Display Driver in Windows XP
===========================================================
To update or change the display driver:

1. Open the Properties for your S3 Graphics Adapter in Device Manager.

To open the Properties dialog:
Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
Click the Settings tab, click Advanced, and then click the Adapter tab and click Properties.
2. Click the Driver tab, and then click Update driver.
3. After the Hardware Update Wizard starts, click "Install from a list or specific location"
and then click Next.
4. Select the locations you wish to search for the updated driver files.

If the updated S3 Graphics driver that you want to install is located in a folder
on the hard disk, then check "Include this location in the search" and click Browse
to select that folder.

Note: If the updated driver is not located on a CD or floppy disk, then
uncheck the "Search removable media" box to speed the search process.
5. Click Next to begin the search.
6. The Hardware Update wizard will search the selected locations for the updated display driver.
If Windows XP finds a driver that it determines to be the best match for your hardware
and is better than the currently installed driver, the installation will begin.

Note: If you are installing a driver that has not yet passed Windows Logo
testing for compatibility with Windows XP, a warning message will appear.
If you wish to continue with the driver installation, click Continue Anyway.

A System Restore point will be automatically created by Windows XP before
installing any unsigned driver files. (See Windows XP Help for more on System Restore.)
7. Once all the driver files have been copied, click Finish.

You will then be prompted to restart your computer to complete the driver installation.
