Could you list your motherboard? And why exactly do you want a BIOS upgrade?

 

[jimw428]

If you have an ECS MB (and I assume you do since you provided a link to the ECS web site) you will need a bootable DOS diskette in order to flash the BIOS.

Unless ECS has a recently updated flash program, there's no way to update BIOS from a CD or flash drive.

Step one - post a concise topic title that reflects the topic, which is specific hardware issues not whether you are hopeless.
