If you have used and/or do use the LIVE BIOS Update utility - PLEASE - advise; any problems? Did it work w/o any trouble for you? Sure hope so - I hate that make a boot disk and hope and pray you don't KILL your 'puter bit!

TKS and Happy New Year!
 
I hate that make a boot disk and hope and pray you don't KILL your 'puter bit!. That goes the same for live BIOS as well. Still just as much chance if not more to do unreversible damage considering that you will be doing so while running Windows. I HAVE run ASUS's live update with no isuues, but only once, And cannot speak for MSI's just yet. I think I will go the boot disk rout if I feel the need to update my K7T 266 pro's BIOS. I honestly feel the boot disk is the way to go since you will not have any other programs running that could foul up the process. Then again, if flashing fails while still in Windows, you would still be running and maybe get a second or third chance.
 
I`ve tried it both ways on my MSI K7T Pro board and have been lucky no bad flashes yet,I think it`s safer to flash from floppy boot disk rather then trust Live Bios update anyway its just as easy to do from floppy you don`t have to type anything(I always flash from floppy now).

Remember there`s always a small risk in doing a bios flash.
