You need to flash from a dos floppy or usb drive using awdflash.

Thanks for the quick answer but if you read my post I have tried both? All though I don't have a floppy drive installed nor do I want one, the usb drive should work.
Something got messed up. Try again using award flash.

I still have yet to successfully make a usb flash drive bootable (either I'm an idiot, or my drive doesn't support it or something).....so, what I've been doing is booting off the motherboard cd to DOS (option 7 IIRC), then executing award flash off the usb drive that has it and the BIOS file on it. Good luck.
