My pc has been blue screening for a while now, even after fresh formats. Although hardware could be fried, or something, I believe it's just a bad harddrive. Anyways, I want to flash my bios just to have a newer one. Heres from the website.
Step 1.
(1) If your mainboard has a BIOS protection jumper, change the setting to allow BIOS flashing.
(2) Make a DOS boot diskette. (See example: Windows 98 O.S.)
***Beware: Windows 2000/Me are not allowed to make a DOS boot diskette.***
a. With an available floppy disk in the floppy drive. Please leave the diskette "UN-write protected" type. Double click the "My Computer" icon from Desktop, then click "3.5 diskette (A)" and right click to select "Format (M)".


***Beware: Windows 2000/Me are not allowed to make a DOS boot diskette.***

I am using Windows 2000, so I am not sure what to do now. They have no alternate readmes for Windows 2000. Help?
 
Do a google search. format a floppy, get the files from a boot disk on there, and you're set.
Try www.bootdisk.com, too. I think that was a good place, but won't garuntee it, as I'm lazy and don't feel like down the googling myself 🙂
 
I've tried that, but with all of the files from the DOS bootdisk, the .rom and flash utility wont fit at the same time. I'm not sure what files I can delete on the floppy.
 
Do you have an email adress? I'll make a DOS bootdisk in XP, zip up the files, and mail it you, Should be less than a meg.

Shoot me a PM with you addy.

🙂
 
A 6.22 boot disk wouldn't fit it all? A 98 one usually is, but all you need is a DOS 6 one.
 
I dunno man...that should have worked. I would suggest you go back to bootdisk.com and try their DrDOS bootdisk.
