Question ASUS M2A-MX BIOS update help

[ivoemilkolev123]

Hello,
i noticed that i need to update my mobo BIOS to fix a grand hang issue that was on this system forever. But when i enter DOS mode and execute the afudos file to open the .rom file for my bios update, says it can't open it. I'm making a MS-DOS FAT32 USB flash drive. Can someone tell me how should i do it without floppy disk? (i want it with USB stick)

I've looked up in those American Megatrends programs for flashing in Windows envoirment, but i got mindf***ed which one i should use and how. So if someone knows a simple boot flash, let me know. Or atleast how should i do it with those American Megatrends programs.

http://prntscr.com/n8ctin You can follow this to make a bootable disc, just use a usb stick where it says floppy disc.

So
i created a bootable MS-DOS image on FAT file system using Rufus 3.5 (newest they had), cuz on the Windows 7 i hadn't the option to format and create a bootable MS-DOS image. After my Rufus got done, i inserted both the .exe file and the .rom file (both are the ones i need). When i enter DOS mode when booting the USB drive and executing with the command
afudos /im2a-mx-asus-0904.rom
and the .exe goes and the rom file cannot be loaded.
