hi, I just got my new CPU, but I have to upgrade the bios for my asus P5WD2, I was reading on the asus site that I need a floppy disk to do this, but I dont have an A drive, is there any other way to do this?? 🙁
 
Google how to make a bootable CD, assuming you can boot from your CD drive. A USB key should work as well (same conditions).
 
Floppy drives can be purchased for < $6 from NewEgg, worth the investment between all of the SATA driver installs and bios/firmware updates.

Only if ASUS has a utility to do so. It should be on the BIOS page if they do. I'll take a quick look.
