This post is specifically to help those out there who have flashed their (AMI) BIOS (any manufacturer, vanilla or modified BIOS) and are finding themselves unable to revert back to an older BIOS or update their BIOS.
How this anomaly comes about I'm not sure, but one manufacturer especially are notorious for this anomaly occurring with, ASUS. To get yourself out of this bind follow these simple steps;
1. Download the AFUDOS attachment (2.11, AFAIK this process will NOT work with newer versions)
2. Make a bootable floppy \ CD \ USB \ whatever with the BIOS you want to flash to on
3. Place the downloaded AFUDOS utility on to your chosen boot media
4. Restart
5. With (for the intentions of this example) your bootable floppy loaded and ready to go, type in the following then hit enter;
AFUDOS.EXE /iXXXXXX.ROM /PBNC /N
**XXXXXX denotes ROM filename**
Thats it! The utility will now perform a comprehensive set of checks, erasing and writing procedures. Just sit back and watch it do its thing and restart your PC when prompted.
