   Can anyone shed light on the not being able to update BIOS using instant flash issue.  Using USB formatted with FAT32 (which I've already used for update once and worked). 

1. Download instant flash zip file from http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20Extreme43.1/?cat=Download&os=BIOS

2. Extract to root of USB - gives me a file named: X99EX433.00

3. Boot up - hit F6.  It recognises and scans the USB, bat say no disk image is found.

What's going on?

	I have tried contacting ASRock support with the bios Instant Flash issue, but have received no reply in 2 days. I am definitely downloading the correct Instant Flash file, and the have tried 3 usbs in different ports, and the unzipped file simply isn't detected as a BIOS image file (I can see the USB is detected, and the file on them is cycled through). Can anyone offer any help at all?

	It sounds like the UEFI update file is the right size. I downloaded the 3.00 UEFI for your board, and the unzipped file is X99EX433.00, and is 16,384 KB in size. Be sure to use a USB 2.0 port on the board's IO panel, when using Instant Flash. Before you try to update the UEFI again, select Load UEFI defaults in the Exit screen, and then Save and Exit. Get right back into the UEFI with the USB flash drive in a USB 2.0 port on the board's IO panel, and try again. If that does not work, or do this first, clear the UEFI/BIOS first, and then try to use Instant Flash.
