How do I update my BIOS? (#1775)
In order to update BIOS you have to have a flash program.
Usually it is supplied by the motherboard manufacturer and
is available from their website. Along with the latest
version of the BIOS for the motherboard in a file, usually xxx.BIN although it may be called something else.

However in almost every case they will advise you to boot into DOS and run their loader program to flash/update the BIOS.

One way to do it:

    •Copy their loader and BIOS update to a blank floppy.
    •Make sure that your BIOS is set to boot from A: first.
    •Put in a bootable DOS diskette in Drive A: and boot.
    •Swap out the DOS diskette, put in the BIOS update disk
    and run the update program.


If you don't have a DOS disk this is how you can make one:
•(More options are available at »www.bootdisk.com

    •Download this compressed (zipped) file: MS-DOS 6.22 in executable zipped format
    •Put a formatted floppy in the A: drive.
    •Decompress/Unzip the contents of the file above file to your floppy
    •You now have a bootable DOS diskette.


It's also a good idea to read any instructions on the manufacturers website.
