How do i flash the BIOS with updated version using DOS. I don't have Windows so i cannot use the InsydeFlash.exe. There is no executable in the BIOS update file that will run under DOS.

 

I have created a bootable FressDOS USB booted into it. but am unable to flash the 0818.bin file since none of the exe's work under DOS.

My Product NUmber is C7E42PA#AB1

can you describe or post a link on how to use uefi to flash bios. I have the bios files all extracted on a usb.

windows +b key instructions didn't work

 

does the 01818.bin file have to be under root of the usb flash drive or inside a folder?

Why is it 9MB in Size?

It ain't easy. Go to the last couple pages of this thread to find out how to make the bootable usb drive that will run UEFI and update the BIOS
