Help with MSI Mobo, BIOS Issue

[slim142]

Hi

Can somebody explain this to me?

Flashing the BIOS for Users using NTFS file system

1.Extract the bios to a FLOPPY (not the startup floppy).

2.While booting the win98/ME floppy you will see a RAMDRIVE. After boot has
finished it will be accessible as a regular HDD.
At the screen after the floppy has booted there will be a line "The
Diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive..."
This drive is the RAMDRIVE and can be treated as any other drive.

3.Replace the floppy and copy the bios file and flash utility to the
RAMDRIVE and then follow the regular flash procedure like from an HDD, only
from the RAMDRIVE.


I have done the first 2 steps and I understand the end of the step number 3 but not the beggining. It says replace the floppy( Ok change the floppy with the one with the BIOS file) then copy the bios file and flash utylity to the RAMDRIVE but how do I do that? I dont understand that can you guys explain me that?

If you have trouble flashing with the floppy, I would use Msi"s "live update" flash program instead. You download the program and run it while in windows. It will search your bios and determine the latest bios version for your board. I used it 3 times without any problems. It takes a couple of minutes. Be careful and follow the instructions exactly, and you should have no problems.
