I have a 990XA-GD55 (MSI Military class II) and I want to update the bios with a Pendrive... but I don't know how to, lol. So, I would be so grateful if someone could help me Thanks.
I don't know how to do the point 3 ''boot system to DOS mode and type the update package name''. help Note: I don't have any OS Installed in my computer, so I have to do it with out window's tools
The program say it can't do it because it only support Iso files that have ''Bootmgr/winPE,isolunix, or efi'' Note: I dowloaded the Bios update from MSI website, and it's ''.Exe'', I changed it to ''.Iso'' But it still don't work D:
I am stuck at the part where I have to select some options in the DOS, it's say something like this= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMI FIRMWARE UPDATE UTILITY(APTIO) V2.30 COPYRIGHT (C)2011 AMERICAN MEGATRENDS INC.

No matter what, before updating BIOS, I always first load optimised defaults (is it valid anymore??) Before updating BIOS, I take a USB drive, format it to FAT32 (which is default anyway), and copy the BIOS. BIOS updating in most motherboards has become a lot easier now. In ASUS motherboard, I go to BIOS, advanced setup, tools, then ezflash. It automatically sees the USB and the BIOS file, and on prompt, starts updating the BIOS. That is it. ASUS also has a cool BIOS flashback where I can downgrade BIOS anytime to a previous version.
