My method used to update BIOS via USB drive: Download this windows 98 image: http://www.allbootdisks.com/downloads/Disks/Windows_98_Boot_Disk_Down... Use 7-zip to extract it into WIN98NORAM.IMA. Download HP USB Key Utility: http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/24828.html Use HP USB Key Utility to set a USB drive to floppy mode using the WIN98NORAM.IMA above. Delete some files to make room for AWDFLASH.EXE and 1202.BIN. Reboot your PC, enter BOOT menu, boot the usb drive. Use AWDFLASH.EXE to flash BIOS. Modify the procedure for your needs. -- @~@ http://changmw.homeip.net / v \ May the Force and Farce be with you!
