Not from winblows XP.
It will from 98. By starting a DOS box.
Its not really that bad at all.
In truth it is safer to flash from basic DOS than Winblows with all its operands going on in the background while you flash.
You boot up with a DOS boot disk and only a really tiny little itty bitty part of memory is used. Not even a mouse driver. Just plain jane DOS kernel.
When using winblows. Anywhere from 20-100 Megs (thats a lot of data) is loaded into memory. With operands being executed all over the place.
