Iwas trying to figure out a way to flash my laptop bios which doesn't have a floppy drive but I gave up. I thought I would probably end up messing it up
Hi,

I've created a CD Self-Booting ISO, just burn to CD using your favourite .ISO burning program.

What it will do assuming your CD supports Self-Booting, will boot you to DOS and the CD will assume A:\. (I'm just wondering though if your Laptop has provision for a A:\ floppy in the Bios, if so, this will need to be enabled, I think)

You will need to create on your Hard-Drive a diretory called say C:\BiosUP and place all of your bios files, including the Flash program and .bin file, maybe even a .bat file if exists, then:

1. Re-Boot laptop and press the Delete key when Bios is doing memory check and find the setting to enable booting from CD, it maybe enabled as you don't have a floppy.

2. Type C:\ enter

3. Type cd\BiosUP enter

4. Type whatever the command is to launch your bios update program enter

Warning: Flashing the Bios of any device is risky and you take that risk, not me ;^)

Cheerz
