Hi

I am not only new in this forum but also a beginner especially in DOS.

Gigabyte EX58UD3R BIOS version FI. I would like to update to FJ18 (in order tu use USB disks > 3TB). What I have done until now:

- I have downloaded motherboard_bios_ga-ex58-ud3r_1.x_fj18 from Gigabyte website.
On the download page it says in Red and Bold "Please use the latest @BIOS or FLASHPI.EXE to reflash BIOS" (I do not want to flash under Windows, so no @BIOS and they do not recommend QFlash I used until now).
I hae extracted the downloaded file. It contains:
. autoexec.bat
. EX58UD3R.J18
. FLASHPI.EXE
In the autoexec.bat I see flashspi /Z EX58UD3R.J18
- I have created a bootable USB stick with the tool RUFUS.
- I have put the 3 extracted files above in the root directory of the USB stick.
- The USB stick now looks as follows:
. LOCATE (Folder)
. autorun.ico
. autorun.inf
. autoexec.bat
. EX58UD3R.J18
. FLASHPI.EXE
- I have bootet the PC with the USB stick and got into DOS:

- I have tried:
. C:\> autoexec.bat + Enter ? nothing happens
. C:\> EX58UD3R.J18 + Enter ? wrong command or file

I have tried tofollow these instructions:

Thanks in advance for help!
