Hiya : ) 1. Make sure the disk isn't write protected 2. Can't remember exactly how big bios file is but around 400kb or 500kb space on disk 3. I usualy just save them as.. 1001 or 1002 or P4PE1001 (I have a extra temp file on my D:\ and copy this file to HD) 4. Never hurts to have a backup copy of the backup. 5.I had some problems with bad floppies so I format a couple with system and try a boot to make sure they work. I'm not a expert but I haven't had any problems flashing my or my wifes P4PE this way. BTW the file on the flash disk is P4PE1006.AWD (or which ever update you are updateing to) Hope some of this helps |
