I am attempting to update the BIOS of mobo X9SCL+-F from rev 1.1a to the newest 2.0b

I just went from an i3 2100-T to a new Xeon E3-1245 v2. The new CPU is on the supported hardware list however with a simple swap the machine constantly reboots. I assume it means I need to update the BIOS in order for the new CPU to work properly.
However I have having difficulties getting the BIOS update to work. The most success I've had was buring the BIOS file to a CD, boot to FreeDOS (from CD), swap out CDs and run the BIOS update that way. However I am getting errors preventing the update from succeeding.
These SuperMicro boards are difficult to update. Any suggestions?
