I'm not too good with dos, so how to do I boot the system into DOS prompt, and how to I "simply execute" the P4P81008.exe file?
Okay, no problem...a few steps only...
1) create a bootable floppy disk: open windows explorer (9x/me/XP) , select drive a: , rightclick and choose "format".
When format window appears, set the tick to "create MS-DOS boot disk" and format floppy disk.
2) set system bios boot up sequence to "floppy(a),CDROM,HDD0" rsp set floppy disk drive to first boot device.
### when already in bios, set all bios settings to default values to avoid bios flash problems ###
3) simply let the PC run - when step 1 and 2 completed correctly, it will automatically boot from floppy disk.
4) when booted from floppy , "a:\" and the standard cursor will appear. now put the disk with the "P4P81008.exe" on it into the drive and type "4p81008" into the command line and press enter .
5) follow the instructions ( if there are any )
6) reboot pc
7) enter BIOS again and reset / clear cmos
8) reboot again
9) configure your bios as you would like it to be.
10) be happy - your bios is flashed
