- now you should have enough room to copy the following files from the temp folder to the a: drive

awd800.exe
TH7H_43A.BIN

- now reboot your system with the disk inserted and make sure you have the A drive as 1st boot device
- now start the flashprogram by typing

awd800 (press enter)
when asked for a file name "th7h_43a.bin"

- now it will ask if you like to save the current bios, pressing Y will write a .bin file onto the floppy
- when the old bios is back-upped the new BIOS will be programmed.
- at the end press F1 and go straight into the bios to change your settings
