How to update my ASUS Eee PC 1000HE's BIOS (running Windows 7)?
I installed the Windows 7 Release Candidate on my ASUS Eee PC 1000HE netbook, and it's been great. However, ASUS just came out with a new BIOS update, and to my knowledge, there isn't an updater program that's compatible with Windows 7 (or, for that matter, Vista).
I have the ROM file for the update on a USB flash drive. Should I make the drive bootable and use an old-fashioned DOS updater? Is there a way to update the BIOS from within the BIOS setup screens?
Thanks in advance!
The new BIOS update (allegedly) improves video performance, which would greatly benefit the viewing of shows on sites like Hulu, etc. It also supposedly enables better battery life. So yes, I do want the update, not just for the sake of updating.
Thanks, thatrotierkid, but I'm pretty sure there is no EZ Flash function in the Eee PC 1000HE's BIOS (it's a netbook, not an ASUS motherboard--though of course the netbook does have an ASUS motherboard...). I'll double-check when I get home. :-)
Hi, thatrotierkid! You were right about there being an EZFlash utility on the Eee PC 1000HE, only a bit off about how to access it. During the POST screen at boot-up, you hit Alt-F2 to enter the EZFlash utility, and assuming the ROM file is named correctly and it's on a USB flash drive, away you go! Thanks for your help!

1) yes you can. asus motherboards come with a utility called EZ Flash. i have used it a number of times
2) get a flash drive, format it in FAT32, put the ROM in the flash drives root. now reboot into the bios. go to the utilities/tools section (dont know the actual name off the tope of my head) and look for the EZ Flash utility. just follow the utility's directions.
EDIT:
i just double checked. the 1000HE does have EZ Flash

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.pcboostcleaner.com/
It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

Yes you can install xp or 7 on your little asus. You will need something bigger than a 2mb flash drive though. An external cd rom will do the trick.

Ask yourself why!
Why do you need to update the BIOS on a netbook?
Unless your experiencing a problem only fixable through a BIOS update dont do it. You just risk making more problems for yourself.
Your just updating the BIOS for the sake of it.
