The asus site is (too slow) crawling for me, so I googled only a Dutch? site pertaining to what you mentioned, no English language sites could be found. http://www.tweakers.net/meuktracker/4848 It still puzzles me, why still use floppies to do this? Or why not describe online/windows procedure in these manuals, etc.? Lastly, why can't my method work using a CD-ROM disk, in theory? PS I wouldn't bother except my computer's freezing on me for reasons the latest bios claims to fix. >Ernst.
