How to flash a notebook with no floppy?

[MiamiJones]

Catch 22.....My floppy (USB) is not bootable but the flash is suppose to make it. But how can I when I can't when the floppy isn't bootable?

I have tried to flash with a bootable cd but the program(PHLASH.EXE) says "Mem program running can't perform flash") Once again another catch 22 I can't load CD drivers in dos without himem. My HDD is NTFS.

Anyone have any ideas? Any other flash progs I can use? Anyway to flash in Windows?

Thx in advance.

CD Drivers and, thus, HIMEM.SYS are not required if your boot CD contains the FLASH executable and ROM file in the BOOT IMAGE (accessible as drive A: ) instead of the CD Volume.
