Flashing bios on A8n, big pain.

I have a propblem flashing this bios. I have changed all software to
the newest. I changed my bios to 1302 from 1009. Now I want to go back
and I can't. I use windows bios tool 7.06.02 and it says that I have
to use dos because i'm going backwards. I make a boot cd and use
awdflash117 and it tells me I don't have enough memory. How do I flash
it now?

Have you tried this :
Copy the bios you want to your hard disk somewhere, then using the
Asus-windows flash update to find that file instead of searching from the
asus website?

On my a8v, the bios has an automatic bios flash function, you need to name
your bios to something like a8n-bios.rom, then reboot and go into the bios.

The bios will automatically read the bios file on the floppy and flash the
EPROM. Check the docs for your specific board to find out exactly what to
name the file.

For the A8N-E the newest BIOS is 1013.

What exact board do you have?

Which chipset driver do you have installed? What OS
are you running?
