845G Max L (MS-6580G) Bios 1.40 Issue

Question

I ran MSI's Live Update 2 and downloaded bios 1.40 for my 845G Max L (MS-6580G).
When I went to run it I got a strange warning and it tried to locate some sort of DOS files.. what is up with this? Is this a beta bios? Is this a mistake?
If not, what is it trying to do? I chose to ignore the error and it did flash my machine, but I am unsure of what it might have missed.
Please Help!
Thanks

Here is the autoexec.bat:
@echo off

The only place the word "dos" apears is in :
Quote
echo Welcome to FreeDOS  (http://www.freedos.org)!
Unless while downloading the bios you chose to save it to c:\dos rather than the default program files\.....
But even then the scrips checks the files's existance befor actually attempting to flash from the HDD, if it fails to find them it will go on to flash from RAMDRIVE.
