Depending on your board, you can copy the BIOS BIN file to a USB key and run the flash update from within the BIOS itself. Doesn't need windows. I have the Asum M2N32-SLI Deluxe. There is a flash utility built into the BIOS. Read your M/B manual to find out for sure if you have that.

In the event anyone else hits this via Google, use the ASUS Update utility that you can grab off Asus's site or from the driver CD for the mobo. Works fine with Vista 64.

Googlers running Windows 7, AWDFLASH.exe doesn't seem to launch on Windows 7 x64 for me.

Error message and doesn't even launch in compatibility mode.
