    Read this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/174395-bios-update-guide-asus-notebooks.html.

    Personally, i use a a usb drive formatted in FAT32 and easy flash to update the bios on my asus laptops. Works great and since you flash from the bios it's as safe as it can get.

    I wouldn't use winflash though, apparently the latest version is ok but some NBR members reported problems when using winflash.
