[QUOTE="Now Playing, post: 115905, member: 2381"] [b]Updating your PC's BIOS[/b] Now this one has always been a real PITA for me for a number of reasons: Many motherboards still require a DOS environment from which to do the updating, stiffy drives (apologies to any Aussies reading this) are mostly a thing of the past, today's BIOS' often exceed the stiffy's storage capacity and rolling your own DOS/Windows boot ISO inc. your BIOS update can be a tedious affair. I found an easy solution last night: [list] [*]Burn the FreeDos.org "fdfullcd" ISO onto a CD [*]Copy your BIOS update and its flashing utility to a memory stick [*][color=red][i]Leave the memory stick plugged in[/i][/color] whilst rebooting the PC from the CD [*]Start the Live CD (not the Freedos installation routine) [*]your memory stick should be drive c: - (cycle through the drive letters if necessary) [*]once the memory stick is the working directory, run the flash update [*]reboot [/list] [/QUOTE]
