Why not burn the new bios to a CDRW. With a complete and good DOS
boot floppy with the right drivers you should be able to point to your
flash util and the new bios and run them from the CD.
Some of the older flash progs didn't like anything hogging the 640k
that they were hogging. On those you had to cut out the emmm386.exe
and himem.sys from the boot config. Don't believe you have to do that
anymore tho with flash utils fo recent years.
www.bootdisk.com will let you boot to the flavor you like tho I seem
to recall some bootdisks required several disks.
If the boot floppy is good, your NTFS system boots fine.... it's just
unable to access NTFS drives. Possibly you could also put the bios
.bin file on a second floppy and call it B drive.
I'm trying to format a floppy disk to startup for
updating bios. my NTFS system will not start from MSDOS
bootdisk. ANy ideas?
