Flash BIOS with CD??

[maxiedaniels]

So I decided to throw away my floppy drive - caused issues with DAEMON Tools, which I use all the time.
I'm hoping this is a yes - is it possible to flash a motherboard BIOS using a cd?

Maybe. You'll need to make a boot CD and then put the flash app and BIN file on it. Should do the trick.

Mmm. K.
I just know.. or think.. that most people on here don't have floppy drives (useless now).
So how do they flash BIOS?

Yes it's possible. Use Nero to create a bootable CD with the flash program and bios image on it and away you go.

The last few mobos i've bought have had utilities that allow you to flash the bios from inside windows.

I flashed mine from CD. I couldn't get a bootable CD from Nero to work so I used a Win98SE CD to boot from and chose MS-Dos, put my CD-R with the flash utility and BIOS and flashed it. You just can't save the current BIOS to flash back to if you needed to and can't find the version you have on the net.
