This is a topic that really stumps me. I love how motherboard manufacturers expect you to have a floppy drive, a device that has become completely obsolete.

So I've got this awdflash.exe and a BIOS file, and I have to make a bootable floppy. How can I flash my BIOS safely?

Thanks..

Some MB makers have utilities that'll allow you to flash your BIOS in Windows.

Make a bootable DOS CD and burn the files to that (or read them off the hard disk if you've got a FAT partition).

Either use the Windows flasher if available or make a bootable CD.

ASUS has a utility that can flash a bios without having to boot into dos or having a floppy.
