Since the BIOS 0402 is very old (There are at least BIOS release 0801 and 1001 which is newer than this BIOS) (The latest one is 1103 which is we are going to upgrade)

You will not able to use the ASUS LiveUpdate and EZ Flash.

If you use the ASUS LiveUpdate, you will just reboot the machine without update the BIOS.

If you use EZ-Flash, you will hang up at “Reading file “1008HA.ROM” ”

So, you will need to use the use a USB thumb drive to boot to the DOS and run the BIOS update at Pure DOS environment.
