Drivers: Save this file to your hard drive,
insert a blank floppy in the floppy drive anddouble click the drdflash.exe file to create
the boot disk. Follow the onscreen prompt
and after creating the boot disk; copy the filefor flashing the BIOS to the boot disk.
Not all Motherboard and BIOS manufacturer
require a bootable floppy disk to create theBIOS boot floppy disk. Gateway for example
specifies a blank IBM formatted disk and
creates the bootable floppy from the
downloaded BIOS update file. Make sure youcheck out all the available flashing
information from the vendors web site before
flashing the BIOS.
If the direct link above is no longer valid or you would
like to know more about the downloaded file, you can
find a wealth of information and boot disks for all
occasions at: Bootdisk.com Due to the high volume of
traffic to Bootdisk.com, if you can make a donation to
help with the web hosting, it would be much
appreciated by the owner of the web site.
I have no affiliation with Bootdisk.com.
Although I do enjoy helping users with their unique problems, I would request that you exhaust all the linkssupplied as options to your basic BIOS questions I supply on my web site.
If you do not find a specific solution from a link in my BIOS page, look for a link to the manufacturers web siteand look for your specific make; model; revision; etc. This information should also be included in any
correspondence directed to me.
Try a Google search for the motherboard manufacturer and exact model if the information is not listed above.
Please contact me with any bios access information you feel I need to add to my BIOS ACCESS page. I supply
the information as a public service, and rely on feedback as one of my major sources update information.
