One important thing.

If the thread on the mounting screws is too long, there is a danger of the screws protruding through the metalwork into the board electronic of the drive, or physically damaging the tracks of that multilayered board

Cant edit either. (not mobile friendly?)

So check before screwing

How I do change it and what to for opening and running the Bois update that I have downloaded ?
I can unzip it but that's all.

Hi, Hope you put on windows x64, as x64 is often upgradable to 10, x32 is not.

Think it was a 40GB drive, not an 80GB? I personally would put a win 10 cd in and see of it upgrades. If it did not upgrade and moaned about space, I'd compress the disk and then give it another go. If 7 upgrades, would remove the remnants of 7, then uncompress to gain speed.

I have found the BOIS and downloaded it to the PC and when I was asked what programme to open it I clicked media player by mistake

You clicked on the zip file and that ended up as trying to open in media player?

The magic words for google are "file associations window 7" This looks like the easy way to deal with it. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/file-association-fixer-2-windows-10-8-7

This link require you to copy the bios to a FLOPPY DISK, not CD or usb, or c:\ drive
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/409763/Asus-A8v-Deluxe.html?page=70#manual
"1. Visit the ASUS website (https://www.asus.com) to download the latest BIOS file for your motherboard and rename the downloaded file as
A8V.ROM. Save the BIOS file to a floppy disk."


You have already made the recovery boot floppy as suggested in the manual?

The only C that will officially work is the ASUS CD.

Start on this page and continue to read, after flashing the bios menu could be even more different than the manual https://www.manualslib.com/manual/409763/Asus-A8v-Deluxe.html?page=66#manual
