Boot CD to update BIOS?

I think what Nigel was driving at is whether he can create a bootable CD
that can read the .bin file from the hard drive rather than copying it to
the CD during creation (referring back to the original post).
Exactly.

What would
essentially be needed is something that can read the NTFS file system once
the CD is booted.
Click to expand...

Or, of course, a flash drive.
 
BIOS flash programs look for the 'bin' file in the same folder as the flash
program itself.. there is no alternative way..
Click to expand...

I've never found one that does not let you browse, or specify a path.
 
My BIOS (and ASUS mobo) have the flash routine built into the BIOS and it
allows me to choose the location to retrieve the update from, but each of
these locations are labeled differently than the Windows layout... e.g. the
USB Flash Drive is C:, etc.

Worked well!
