What is Awdflash 1.18?

Awdflash 1.18 is a utility program that helps you to update your BIOS - the code that runs the first moment you boot your PC. It was created by Award Software Inc. to support flashing Award BIOS based data files. The BIOS code is stored on the motherboards on flash chips since its introduction in 1993.

Awdflash 1.18 supports many flash chips and motherboards that use Award BIOS core 6.31 or earlier. It also supports DMI BIOS and BootBlock protection. You can find a list of supported flash chips and motherboards on the Wim's BIOS website.

How to Download Awdflash 1.18?

You can download Awdflash 1.18 from various sources on the internet, but make sure you get it from a reputable and reliable website. One of the websites that offers Awdflash 1.18 for download is soggi.org, which also provides other BIOS update utilities for different BIOS cores and brands.

How to Create a Bootable USB Drive?

Since Awdflash 1.18 is a DOS-based utility, you cannot run it from Windows or other operating systems. You need to create a bootable USB drive that contains Awdflash 1.18 and your BIOS update file (usually a .bin or .rom file).

To create a bootable USB drive, you need a USB flash drive with at least 256 MB of storage space, a computer with a USB port, and a program like Rufus that can create bootable USB drives.

To create a bootable USB drive with Rufus, follow these steps:

Download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/

Run Rufus and insert your USB flash drive into your computer

Select your USB flash drive under \"Device\"

Select \"FreeDOS\" under \"Boot selection\"

Select \"MBR\" under \"Partition scheme\"

Select \"BIOS (or UEFI-CSM)\" under \"Target system\"

Click \"START\" and wait for Rufus to create the bootable USB drive

Copy awd118.exe and your BIOS update file to the root directory of your USB flash drive

You have now created a bootable USB drive that contains Awdflash 1.18 e0e6b7cb5c
