Let's start with the motherboard model and why you are wanting to flash the BIOS. It is very easy to ruin a motherboard if improperly done and for no good reason.  ;)

Wouldn't it be nice if the posters ever gave us the complete story instead of bits and pieces ............

yes..is my school project..
somebody build and motherboard that have two bios socket.
one for system bios and the other one is backup purpose.
the bios is award bios.
i have awdflash.exe utility running under DOS.
i want to flash both BIOS at one time.
that means upper is for my system bios, lower case is for my backup bios.
i understand that phoenix bios can do it, with another flash utility.
BUT, i have no idea on awd bios.

The purpose of a backup BIOS is to save your *censored* on a bad flash.
Wouldn't it be a little more prudent to flash each one separately ?
