You need to set up your recovery disk the correct way. It just has to be bootable and contain 3 additional files, a good BIOS file, the flash program, and an Autoexec.bat file.
If you have a problem you stick it in the drive, boot the system, and wait for the flash to finish. You don't need a display.
For the Award BIOS the Autoexec.bat just contains the following line.
a:\awd802.exe backup.bin /py /Sb /sn /cc /cp /cd /R
where
Awd802.exe is the name of the flash program.
Backup.bin is the BIOS file
Lastly, all the options, including those that allow the flash program to operate without the user having to type anything (useful when no video display is available).
Phoenix and AMI BIOSes would have the same procedure but the command line options are different.
