    Go to platform.ini file (open it with notepad), find the section [Others] and in the line DisableCompare change 0 to 1. This should let you flash your bios.

    EXAMPLE:

    [Others]
    ClearCMOS=0
    FlashDevice=0
    DisableCompare=1
    ErrorRetry=0
    ;FlashDevice 0 -> default, 1 -> SPI flash part, 2 -> Non-SPI flash part.
    ;DisableCompare 0 -> Compare binary, 1 -> Do not compare binary, flash directly in write ROM mode.
    ;ErrorRetry 0-> Do not retry if found flash error. 1 -> Try to flash again if write or verify error.
