When performing a flash upgrade, an error message of UNKNOWN FLASH TYPE

Error messages such as 'Unknown flash part' or 'Unknown flash type'
indicate that the flash utility you are using is not compatible with the
BIOS chip on your motherboard. If you get this error message then download
a different revision of the flash utility and try again.

If you are using a Free Dos operationg system that is distributed with
some flash BIOS try booting from a windows 98 "CLEAN" boot disk and
flashing the BIOS. (If you downloaded the bootdisk.exe file from our
website it is Free Dos.) if you do not have windows 98 on any system then
you can get a boot image from www.bootdisk.com
