[EnragedPC]

i have an Iwill KK266-R and Win2k with the NFTS file system and from what i hear you catn use bott disks for it? so how do i update my bios?

Any standard bootdisk (like the win98 disk) will work...doesn't even need CDROM support...just boot with the floppy disk, then run the bios flashing app. from another floppy if it doesn't fit on your boot disk.

bootdisk.com has many disk images available for download.

i thought you couldnt use bootdisks with NFTS filesystem

You can copy the BIOS update to a floppy, reboot with the bootdisk, then flash off of the floppy.

Most bootdisks are unable to allow you to read NTFS (there are a few exceptions, of course), but that doesn't mean you can't boot the system to do something entirely off floppy (and CD, assuming you have CDROM drivers loading with your bootdisk).
