First the USB stick should be formatted to FAT32 (as per most MB manufaturers instructions) and the BIOS file (*.cap) needs to be renamed, the rename.exe is just there to do it for you.
In windows just run rename.exe and a CMD window will pop up click on that window and hit enter to rename the BIOS file (the file with .cap as the extention).
