umm i dont think he is flashing his mobo bios, he put it in the nvidia section so i assume hes trying to flash his video card, thats what nvflash is for anyway. and this has to be done prior to winblows!

Might want to look and see if there is a more current one that supports more cards? I gotta get to class right now, if I remember I will look later and see if I can find a new windows flash release

You could burn a bootable CD and do it that way....

I gave up on floppies a long time ago. I a DOS boot cd I use and burn the rest of my files on CD. I also keep 10 megs as a fat partition on my drive to be safe too.

That is a great idea....then you can just put whatever files/tools you need on that small partition and then boot to a DOS boot CD, as you stated, and fix your problems. Cool idea! (There's programs that will let you boot from a DOS OS and modify NTFS also, just for anyones knowledge)

I forget. I've had my CD for a long time now. I've been using these forums far longer then most people on here have and have been around the computer scene heavily since the 3dfx voodoo 2 days and casually before that.

if I remember right I used nero and an old win98 floppy image and burnt a bootable cd with the image somehow. If anyone is in real dire need of it I can make an ISO image of my cd and email it to them. It'll only be like a meg in size. Or I can see about posting it to a website somewhere tommorrowing evening. id be more then happy too if anyone wants me to.

there's also other downloadable bootable cd images out there too. heirmans boot cd is a good one, theres a few light linux distors that will allow it.

Here's also a good place too. http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

Again if anyone wants me to I can post an ISO of mine up too. Like I said it's nothign special. It's only a windows 98 boot "floppy". it allows access to DOS and the old time utilities like fdisk and chdsk and what not. it's usefull for diagnosing older computers and fixing them quickly. I still run into them every once in a great while.
