however, the bios does not see the USB stick, so I cannot get to the
bios file.

likely if it's much newer than the mobo). Common enough.
Try another memory stick.
Also you checked it's formatted FAT32 not exFAT?

it's an older mb .. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/980de3u3s3/

tried that

yes, it reformatted it just to make sure. but in 'properties' for the
usb stick linux says 'format msdos' ??

Possibly you have to use one specific USB socket for BIOS upgrades,
check the manual.

That probably means the partition table filesystem type andTry another memory stick.tried that

suggests it's FAT16/32 not exFAT.
Maybe using mkfs.vfat with
"--mbr=y" to create a more Windows-style single FAT partition
would help? But it's just as likely that the mobo's not able to
talk to your memory sticks in the first place.
The instructions
say you can also do it with a HDD, so that's probably a more
reliable option.
I tried with the BIOS file on an external USB HD, but the Flash Utility >couldn't load the file, even tho the HD was listed in the BIOS. So it
seems USB loading is not possible on this MB, sans an OS. I also burnt
the file to a CD and tried that. The BIOS saw the CD (of course) but not
the file. anyhow, I gave up and booted to a Win XP HD and used the
Windows method.. https://www.asrock.com/support/BIOSIG.asp?cat=Windows5 >..and that worked. so now that the BIOS is upgraded I can install a
better CPU! :)

not Operating system relevant
Any how see what you get just updated my Win11 crap from HP and it
switches straight to bios to do this and backs up your bios to USB
after formatting it
You had a mobile photo of inside Melbourne museum
If it's still has a web link would like it

I knew what you meant. I was using older sticks.

yes because FAT is a DOS format
