CrashFree BIOS

This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from a floppy disk (with the original BIOS file and the AwardBIOS Flash Utility) in case the BIOS file gets corrupted. This utility eliminates the need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 2-4 for details.

With the ASUS EZ Flash, you can easily update the system BIOS even before loading the operating system. No need to use a DOS-based utility or boot from a floppy disk. See page 2-4 for details.
