Hello gents, thanks for your time! I got to a support page for Intel, checked out "OS independent" BIOS files (at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=8736&ProdId=1086&lang=eng)
File name: RC86510A.86A.0044.P18.IB.exe Version: P18 Date: 05/05/2005 Status: Latest Size: 0.83 MB Operating Systems: OS Independent, Windows 2000*, Windows 98 SE*, Windows Me*, Windows XP Home Edition*, Windows XP Professional* Details: Iflash BIOS Update [RC86510A.86A.0044.P18.IB.exe] - A DOS-based utility to update the BIOS regardless of operating system. It requires a blank floppy diskette. Problem: it's all ".exe". Any suggestions?
