I've been re-reading through my mobo manual and have found something interesting (in my oppion.) Under Bios Flashing [method 3] there is a program on a disc [provided by Gigabyte] that will autodownload the newest bios version [just need to select which mobo I am using] and it will auto update the bios for me. Do all mobos have this? Can I trust this method? Oh my mobo is a Gigabyte 8PE667Ultra

If you ever need to do it from DOS, here is a way to do it. I used Nero to create a bootable cd from a Win98 universal boot floppy. This will create a ram drive when you boot. If you have added the flash utility and new rom to it, you can copy these files to the ram drive, switch to the ram drive and execute the utility.

A universal boot floppy contains a series of cdrom drivers that will recognise most cd drives so they will be available to you when you boot into DOS. When you use Nero to make a bootable cd for you, it will ask you where the boot files are and you direct it to the floppy. You can add additional files to it as well before you burn it. You can add DOS based utilities and test apps to it.

What's funny is that the couple of rigs I've used this on appeared to boot to the A prompt, even though there was no floppy drive in the machine. It didn't present a problem though.
