Then if the Asus advice fails to show you a post I'd create the bootable floppy, copy afudos.exe and the bios file from the support disk then boot it to A drive and run A:\afudos /iyourbios.rom as per the book.Alright, I followed your directions fed, and it worked. I was able to update my bios and evrything. Now once again, it seems that my problems only get worse. I had to reinstall my floppy drive because it wasn't properly attached, so I plugged in the cord and power plug into the back expecting for my floppy to work. When I turn on my computer, I noticed smoke comming up from my floppy, so I imeediately turn off the power and completely uninstall my floppy. Once I fully removed it, I saw the the back of my floppy where you put the power cord was burnt. So anyways, i REALLY didn't CARE a whole lot bout my floppy drive, I was more worried about my harddrive and mobo, so I turned my computer back on to check to see what the damage was. THen again, my computer STARTS to smoke up, so it shutoff real fast and unplug both of my harddrives (1 20gig, 1 200gb sata).

Ok, now that i removed both harddrive, I turned it on again to see if it was my mobo. Sure enough, everything went fine and there was no smoke, so my mobo and cpu are fine and I can get into bios and evrything.

Fortunately my 20gig still works, but my 200gb maxtor sata seems to not function. I smelled my harddrive to make sure the burnin wasn't comming from the sata, but it didn't seem like it. When I plug it all in, it does not recognize the sata harddrive at al,l when before, it used to. Am I just going to have to buy a brand new harddrive? You think mabye I can get away with the warranty still on it  ? Any suggestions are welcome plzSmoke is not good.
If the socket on your A drive is burnt it may have also damaged your power supply, this could be the cause of the SECOND lot of smoke.
If the socket on the A drive is burnt then it's more than likely the plug for it is also burnt, the smoke could be coming from it also. You should check it CAREFULLY for burn marks.
Can you swap out the power supply?
I'm not a big believer in coincidences but this all seems totally unrelated to the earlier bios problems.
