Flash BIOS - need to make MS DOS boot cd
I want to flash my Geforce FX 5200 BIOS....the instructions tell me I need to make an MS DOS boot floppy.
The problem is I don't have a floppy drive in my box. Is there a way to make an MS DOS boot cd??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks  |

oowa. Of course you can make your 5200fx into a 6800 ultra...

Re: Flash BIOS - need to make MS DOS boot cd
Well, if you plan on flashing it with Ultra BIOS don't. The memory can not handle ultra speeds even if the core does.

No reason why someone wouldn't just want to tweak their own bios and then reflash with it ? But obviously you cant do any flashing unless you have the facilities like built-in win9x/DOS or a CDROM/Floppy to do it with ?
