ASRock Instant Flash is an exclusive and the most user-
friendly BIOS flash utility developed by ASRock. It is embed-
ded in Flash ROM which is used to update the system BIOS
without having to enter operating systems like MS-DOS or
Windows.
Once executing ASRock Instant Flash, the utility will automatically detect all devices such as USB, hard
disk or even floppy drive to find the exact BIOS for your system. Instead of giving you all BIOS in your
devices, the Instant Flash just list BIOS versions that apply to your motherboard model only. For
example, if you have many different BIOS of different motherboards saved in your devices, but you just
need to flash your P45 motherboard, the Instant Flash will just list the P45 BIOS versions for you. This
unique function allows you to easily select the suitable BIOS version instead of browsing through all data.
