To put the BIOS floppy on a bootable CD, you could try using Ultimate Boot CD @ http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
You can make a floppy image of the BIOS boot floppy, burn it onto the CD, and run it from the UBCD menu. I haven't tried this for updating the BIOS, but it works well for Ghost. If you can't find good instructions for burning the floppy image onto the UBCD image, try googling for ultimate boot CD, floppy image, and ghost. - emory On Thu, 17 Feb 2005 17:18:26 -0800, Jason Weinstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I haven't yet tried updating my Pundit's BIOS since I'm not sure how > to without a floppy drive and windout Windows.
