   Thanks. I did both. However, I'm still stuck on 1.3.

Changing the boot order didn't work. Disconnecting the C drive just made it boot back to the DoS directory instead of flashing the new BIOS.

	I even tried updating to 1.4 instead of 2.5, but to the same issue. Any ideas?

	try having a quick read here https://www.howtogeek.com/136987/how-to-create-a-bootable-dos-usb-drive/ you might have to enter the command dir/p at the prompt to display the directory the bios is in then type the name of that directory and hit enter its been quite a few years since i had to play with dos im more than a bit rusty google is your friend for a quick tutorial on using dos (and yes i know what your thinking right now and i agree ,its 2017 we shouldnt be using dos for a brand new mainboard)

	So far I've created a pendrive version of FreeDOS and MS DOS 98. I've tried updating to both 1.4 and 2.5. I've made the pendrive my dafult boot drive and I've also disconnected my windows drive. Each time I get the same dialogue in DOS as the guide does (https://imgur.com/a/DHPgA). But I get stuck between step 4. and 5.. (http://www.asrock.com/support/BIOSIG.asp?cat=DOS8) I wouldn't even mind updating from DOS, but the fact that there's really no guides/info to be found specifically relating to AsRock mainboards in order to solve this issue is extremely frustrating. I'm following the damn steps Thanks for trying to help, though. Edited by terosterone - 24 May 2017 at 2:09am
