Do *not* check "clear DMI data pool" and the "Clear PnP Data Pool"
checkboxes.
Also, I recommend that you *uncheck* the "Internet Update" checkbox (if
it is checked) and *manually* download/extract the new BIOS file to a
folder, or your desktop, and then click the "Update New BIOS" button,
and point @BIOS to the updated BIOS file location on your system.

I've never used qbios, but usually DOS based flash utilities are hard
coded to look for an "A:" floppy drive. You *might* be able to fool it
however by burning a bootable CD that uses floppy emulation, I don't
know as I've never really tried it.
Frankly, I'd use the @BIOS utility, as it is pretty straight forward and
reliable, although I *would* open task manager, and kill off every
unnecessary program just before using it (like antivirus, antispyware
programs, etc.). The *only* thing I leave running aside from essential
system services/tasks during a flash with @BIOS is my firewall - that's it.
