got a bios upgrade and awdflash.exe.
instructions say format dos 6.2+ bootable floppy to add them too.
Can't with xp.
Lots of downloads for boot disks, but they seem to have lots of programs. Are they the same a a bootable floppy? Don't want to get more grief using wrong thing.
If they're different how can I format a bootable floppy?

The you have room for your flash and the rom file.
Well flame me ferret!!!
All I've read gave no help that you could DOS format in XP.
So simple when you know - Put the floppy in, right click A drive, click format and select "create MS DOS start up disc."
Why will know one tell you the basics?
Anyhow - done, bios flashed SUCCESS!
I've got a modem back.
esupport sucks. Charge you for a bios upgrade and it doesn't work properly.
I am still puzzled why anyone would pay for downloading a bios flash....
because I'm iggorant and didn't realise 'till after that you could get an upgrade from the motherboard maker.
Learning the hard way makes the lesson stick!!
Aye, that is does ;)
