insert it to your computer. If you have already put the floppy disk into your system and have entered
the Q-Flash utility, please follow the steps below to flash BIOS.

the Q-Flash menu and press Enter button.
Later, you will see a box pop up showing the BIOS files you previously downloaded to the floppy
disk.
If you want to save the current BIOS for backup purpose, you can begin Step 1 with "Save

In this example, we only download one BIOS file to the floppy disk so only one BIOS file,
8GE800.F4, is listed.
Please confirm again you have the correct BIOS file for your motherboard.
