Thanks, but I'll stick to this one for now. I might change it sometime next month.

So I am back trying to figure this BIOS deal out. I went to the motherboard site and it says do NOT flash from the floppy(Meaning the new bios and flash utility is on the floppy itself, it says the utility and file need to be on the hard drive). Again, my problem is that I make a boot disk. Boot to DOS, but I can not read my C: drive from the a: dos promt. The best that I can figure is because c: is NTFS and A: is FAT. So I'm hoping that someone may have an idea for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I appreciate the ideas up to this point. Anyone, anyone, anyone

have any unpartitioned space?

Unfortunately no...

But if you have PartitionMagic you can resize a partition with free space, Make a new partition in FAT on the free space, And copy the flash program to the drive. And then boot with your startup disk, Change to your new partition and run the program. Sounds complex but is really easy (Don't forget to defrag your drive first and backup your data just in case)
