www.bootdisk.com

you sould be able to download some version of dos there so you can get a command prompt. then just put in your floppy with the bios update and type in awdflash or whatever the command is and it will start the update process. it will probably ask you if you want to back up your old bios. and then your basically set.

btw dont do it overclocked or in a lightning storm.
