Hello,

I find the BIOS of my Asus P5VD2-VM on Power iso form, but impossible to obtain *.rom.

Any more help (and sorry for my bad english I am french).

greetings.



Go to http://support.asus.com.tw/download/download.aspx and enter
your motherboard model number there.

If I download this file, I get 468,369 bytes.

http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5VD2-VM/P5VD2VM1003.zip

When that file is unzipped, I get 524,288 bytes for P5VD2VM1003.BIN

Is that what you get for the BIOS file ?

The .BIN file is what you use to flash update the BIOS. The file size
is an exact power-of-2. You can rename the .BIN file to .ROM, so
you can change P5VD2VM1003.BIN to P5VD2VM.ROM, before burning.
