Clean Boot CD used for BIOS updating.

[Synomenon]

I've been using this "clean boot CD" for awhile now to do my BIOS updates:

Recently, I switched to a SATA optical drive and now whenever I boot with this CD it says that it can't find any optical drive. Is there any way to get it to work with SATA optical drives? If not is there any way to make a "clean boot USB flash drive" that works exactly like this clean boot CD except for it being a USB flash drive instead of a CD?

Don't be so cheap, breakdown and buy a floppy drive like the rest of us! (Grin!)

Agreed, best $5 that I have ever spent!

I'd need a USB floppy drive. My PC is a Shuttle. It has one 3.5" drive bay that's occupied by an Icy Dock 2.5" removable hard drive and drive tray.

Do you have a BIOS setting for "Legacy Mode" for your SATA drive? If so you can try enabling that when updating the BIOS though you might want to reset it to native mode once the BIOS update is complete.
