And in the process I realized my firmware was running a little behind. And do you know what happened when I tried to upgrade it? I got an error.

'1005ha.rom' Not Found

And so I took the following steps to fix it.

  1. Renamed my ROM file from 1005HA-ASUS-0703.ROM to 1005HA.ROM
  2. Formatted a thumb drive to FAT32
  3. Copied over the .ROM file into the root directory of the thumb drive
  4. Reboot
  5. Pressed F2 to get into BIOS
  6. Change the boot device priority to make the USB drive the Primary
  7. Went into boot settings and DISABLED ‘quiet boot’ (so that we could see POST info)
  8. DISABLE ‘Boot Booster’
  9. pressed the F10 key and saved my BIOS settings
  10. During POST I pressed Alt+F2

It found my renamed .ROM ’1005ha.rom’ and Viola! All set.
