Hi
Due to a problem with a 5port USB PCI card which I have added to my
computer, I have to flash my bios (in the hope that this will resolve the
problem)
I'm already nervous as I know this operation can end in tears.
Anyway, the instructions told me to extract the files onto a bootable floopy
disk and to then boot the system from the disk.
But Windows indicated that the files were too large for the disquette
although when I looked, this didn't seem to be so.
Anyway, I got the files onto the disquette by extracting them first onto my
HD and then copying them onto the disquette (yes , they fitted on)
Now , when I try to boot from the disquette, the bios tells me that the
disquette does not have a recognised system.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Dave Neve
