Won't flash 1301 bios

[TigerDoc]

I downloaded the 1301 BIOS Update today from ASUS website for my Crosshair V Formula as I still have the 0813 BIOS and I wanted to update some of the system information that isn't reporting to "System Information" -- not important just nagging as it says to be filled in by OEM and I am the OEM .... anyways I downloaded the Update and put on flash drive; went to BIOS EZ Flash utility; located the file and started it up but received error message that it wasn't an EFI BIOS; deleted files and redownloaded again with same result. Is there an alternate location I can download the BIOS Update ?

Hmmmm actually it wasn't FAT32 (I'll admit I didn't check) although it read the drive (folders & Files) fine just NOT the ROM file .... I put the ROM on a FAT32 and am trying that now ..... willl advise what happens.

TY Homiestar, that solved the BIOS Update issue .... I saw it could read the drive so overlooked the fact that drive wasn't fat32. Now just to figure out how to fix the System Information overlook .... minor tho it is as it doesn't affect performance just annoying to know that it "ISN"T" there ..... Any ideas? welll first thing right now is to retry installing the AI Suite II package as it wouldn't install b4 the BIOS update.
