When flashing bios you want to be bare bones because a driver / tsr can
interfere with the process and brick your mobo.

I wouldn't try that myself except as an absolutely last resort. Most flash
utilities that come with any documentation warn that DOS needs to be load
Also you try booting with uide as Rugxulo mention (config.sys) or
try booting from cd.

BIOS has no mention of IDE or Legacy anywhere at all? If not, I would think
AHCI would include some degree of legacy support.

Only SATA Modes available are AHCI and RAID

I got a 32GB Micro Center branded USB drive at their location in NYC
for $15, and a 32GB Micro Center microSD card with full siz

Here is my autoexec.bat file below. Note it has uide.sys and shsucdx already.
I don't know if the options are correct for my system, though. The last time I
messed with DOS was about 15-20 years ago when I didn't have a CD Drive, let
alone a DVD drive. By the way, it plays Blu-ray disks too,

Indeed... use FDISK, FORMAT and SYS and throw in a few
reboots between steps to make sure that DOS is in sync
with all changes, just in case.

Maybe
I figured it out. "USB Operation Mode" at "High Speed" interferes with Freedos
installation and USB flash drive booting. "ACPI Suspend Type" at "S3" also
interferes with Freedos installation. I haven't actually installed Freedos
yet, but I can get a listing of the partitions on the hard disk w

1-configure a boot floppy with USB support
2-put the flash program and new BIOS file on a USB stick
3-try flashing

Looks like a BIOS issue. What hard drive/chipset options do you have when
you enter the BIOS? The online docs I'm able to find don't show a whole
lot of configurability.
