How can i flash bios without floppy drive

i need help with flashing bios without a floppy because although the floppy is in windows and the bios every time i try to use it, it says to insert a disc i have seek floopy enabled and it post as if it is ok the drive works i have tried 2 drives 2 cables and turned the cables round tried all i can i think lol ....
thanks guys

it can also be done using a CD-rom. I flashed my BIOS twice using cd-rom. Use Nero or any cd-writing program to write the bios files you download to a CD. Afterwards, just use the Windows 98 installation cd to boot into DOS, then take out the Windows 98 CD and put in the CD with the BIOS files on it and run the program just like from a floppy.

Flashing BIOS without floppy?

Recently, I've flashed my 875P BIOS from 1.7 to 1.8 & am unhappy with the performance from the new BIOS. I would like to reflash it back to 1.7, but my floppy drive is no longer working properly & will not read data correctly from floppy disks. Is there a safe way to flash BIOS without using a floppy disk, such as through Windows? I've looked at LiveUpdate 3, but it only shows the current BIOS 1.8 that I can update from. Replies are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks for the quick reply, DOS. I've figured out another way by putting the three files from LiveUpdate(MSISetup, AMIFlh, IftwInst.Tag) & 1.7 BIOS file together in a folder & flashed in Windows from there by clicking on MSISetup. The three files mentioned are always included during the LiveUpdate download along with a BIOS file for whatever version. Just make sure to remove the BIOS file you don't want & put in the one you do want along with the three files mentioned. Honestly, I held my breath during the flash process, but I'm glad it went okay without a hitch. So, for those who feel comfortable flashing in Windows(or DOS, since you have a choice during the flash process) to whatever BIOS version, this is an easy way of doing it. I don't know if this is good enough for a sticky since I know others are looking for ways of flashing there BIOS. Good luck! :D

FYI: Flash BIOS without using a floppy! Use a bootable CD-ROM!

My K8N Neo2 Platinum is still dead as a doornail but at least I found this.
http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/
I was able to make a bootable CD-ROM containing the latest BIOS and flash it without using those pesky floppy drives/disks. Whole process took like 5 mins. I don't know who Bart is but hats off to him in a huge way!
Hope this helps someone!

No, im serious. I have 4 computers here and a ton of floppys, my camera uses floppies so im using them alot "when they work" but these damn things are terrible.
I can have one disk work on all 4 pc's, bring it to another place not work at all, have another not work on all my computers but work somewhere else. All different brands of floppies all different brand of Floppy drives. I have a better chance winning the lottery then getting this floppys to work right. LOL

Flashing BIOS without Floppy drive

I have a Pavilion zt1185 running windows xp pro which doesn't have a floppy drive. I'm am trying to flash the bios is there a way this could be done without getting a floppy drive. I have tried using the usb but will not lookup usb on startup.

Hi:
As far as I know, regarding a notebook of that vintage you will need a floppy drive to update the BIOS.
More than likely a USB floppy drive will work.

Flash BIOS without MSWINDOWS

I want/need to flash the BIOS on a HP 2000-210US. HP will not help because I do not use an MSWINDOWS O.S. How do I go about the "flash" without HP support? Also, if I may, I'm having a problem with booting from either the pendrive or CD. I know how to set BIOS to boot from either device, both devices are "bootable", yet laptop will not boot with/from either device. I've been trying to find an answer/fix to this for quite some time. HELP!!!! Thank You

Flashing BIOS Without Windows

This really should have been covered on the main download page for the BIOS update. I'm trying to update my BIOS on a Yoga 2 Pro but alas Lenovo has made BIOS updates OS dependant. Here I am used to just going to the BIOS putting the .img file on a usb stick and select flash. That would be too easy and I'm sure confused alot of Windows users. The problem I am having first of all is I cannot find a changelog file. Why would I want to flash something that I have no idea what it does? I need to know what I'm flashing first. The second problem is I cannot even extract the downloaded .exe file, its not a .cab, .zip or .rar. If I could extract it, all I should need to do is make a bootable usb with the .img file right? Anyone in Lenovo support whatching this thread?
Solved!

I'm using a Yoga 2 Pro and it was kind of picky how the usb was "burned" was unable to use dd and or suse studio image writer had to use rufus on a windows box choosing gpt for uefi with 4096 block size. Then I just ran the exe. Something Lenovo tech support should know about.

Flashing BIOS without a compatible CPU

Hi there,
I have no idea where to find an answer for this as I've seen all sorts of conflicting information out there. I want to know, if I get an H81M-P33 motherboard and a g3258, will I need to use a compatible older-gen CPU to update the BIOS and make the board compatible with the g3258, or can I use MFlash or the forum BIOS flashing utility to update the BIOS from a USB with no compatible CPU installed? Also, as a side note, I noticed in another thread someone was saying that Intel released firmware in August that would make it difficult or impossible to overclock the G3258 on non-Z series motherboards. I did also see that Tom's Hardware article where they successfully used the H81M-P33 to overclock it back in July when it was released. Am I running a large risk of it not working even after I update to the latest BIOS, or is it still possible?
Thanks for your help, I really hope I've posted in the right place.

Okay, thank you very much! Most of the threads I found when searching were from really long ago on all these different sites, so I wasn't sure if something had changed. I appreciate your quick response and I'll look into it further before I make a purchase.

Flashing C365 BIOS Without Windows on HD

Hello, just bought me a new C365. Didn't want this WinBingThing. First thing I did was make a backup of the HD with dd. Then wiped away everything to install Debian Jessie. Everything is fine, it works.
But now I'm concerned about how to update the bios. I really don't want to put the image back to HD just for flashing the bios.
Someone found a way, but it would involve using third party software:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Flashing-BIOS-Without-Windows/m-p/1700535
I found a new bios for my system:
http://support.lenovo.com/de/de/products/desktops-and-all-in-ones/lenovo-c-series-all-in-ones/lenovo...
I found an image of an ISO for to flash another system. Of course I woudn't take the BIOS-Image from that ISO:
http://support.lenovo.com/en/downloads/ds009477
So my question: Is that ISO-Image suitable to flash my BIOS, if I add the BIOS to the given ISO?
Other questions: Why can't I find any BIOS-changelogs on the C365-BIOS page? Would it be possible to provide BIOS-Flash-ISO-Images for C365?
Thanks a lot!

Download File without displaying in browser window

I'm trying to download a PDF file from a flash site without
displaying the file in browser window. PDF file downloads correctly
on a Mac with Safari without displaying in the browser, however it
displays the PDF file in the browser window on a PC with IE 7.
Have added a .htaccess file to server "AddType
application/video/x-m4v .m4v .sit .zip .pdf" Can anyone tell me how
to do this and a sample piece of code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ironically, when someone replies to my e-mails, which has my logo at the end (where I'm glad it shows), it also shows as an attachment in the header.
'T'would be nice to have this feature on outgoing mail, as well as having the option to include an in-line graphic with the signature.
I have written to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ with that suggestion.

i will go back to the shop and i will say "Live update crashe during its bios update procedure " !
That won't work, flashing BIOS voids warranty.

i don't want to clear the CMOS ! i could lost all the setting !
You either clear the CMOS, or don't boot your board.

MSI 770T-C45 won't post after flashing BIOS with M-FLASH

After flashing AMIBIOS 8.3 to v8.7 with M-FLASH via USB stick I can't get any post.
Had I read this forum before I wouldn't have done it, but here I am.
Fan starts, LEDs are off, no beeps at all, power button does nothing. Black screen.
After force flashing (yes, I am THAT stupid) the prompt said it would reboot in 5 seconds and after that nothing.
Here's my setup:
Board: MSI 770T-C45
Original Bios: v8.3
Flashed Bios: v8.7 (flashed with M-FLASH)
VGA: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
PSU: Enermax FMAII EG465AX-VE 460W
CPU: AMD Phenom x4 9650
MEM: Kingston DDR2-667 4x2GB KVR667D2N5/2G
HDD: SAMSUNG 840 SSD 250GB
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64bit
I tried every CMOS clearing method found in previous posts and threads (including this and this.)
1. Unplugged from power, waited 5 minutes, removed the battery (5mins), changed jumper position (5min), switched it back (5min), plugged it in (5min) and powered up with and without USB stick in the hub next to network hub with old BIOS (v8.3) inside. Pressed CTRL+HOME, anything, not a single message or beep or LED flashing.
Also I removed all RAMs and kept one in the first socket. Nothing.
I really don't know what to do next. What seems to differ from other users is LEDs non working, what does that mean?

The problem here is that after update 8.6 the m-flash module was updated, so yes your mobo is a brick, but there is still hope for it. I had the same situation a few days ago with the exact same model and was able to recover it by following the steps on listed on the below posts:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133578.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129989.0
It may seem complicated at first, but trust me its not at all.
Anyways you probably already have another mobo, send it for RMA or used it as frisbee, but it may come handy for some other doing the same noob flashing as we did

HELP: Failure flashing BIOS using Live Update 5

Hi,
I used Live Update 5 to download the latest BIOS version for my MB. Then when I was running the update, I chose "". (I know it's incorrect and I should have chosen the other one.) After the update, the machine restarted and showed a cursor blinking on the top left on a black screen, and it wouldn't proceed any more. I can enter the BIOS without a problem. I can also boot from CD or USB, but the windows on my machine simply wouldn't boot.
After the problem arose, I have tried flashing the BIOS with the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing tool on this forum. It tells me that but the same problem remains.
What should I do now?
Thanks for your time and consideration!

After any flash, the battery should be removed for awhile and the CMOS cleared. Reset all your BIOS menu settings again making sure the boot order etc. is correct and the proper mode is selected that your OS was installed under, i.e. IDE or AHCI mode.

Intel D2700DC + Arch won't boot without display

I've faced really wierd (to me) problem running Arch as mini webserver on the Intel D2700DC mini-ITX board with Atom D2700 integrated and NM10 Express chipset.
I successfully installed the system, configured network and started sshd to continue setting up other services remotely via ssh console. Then I disconnected the keyboard and display from the case and put it under the table. After that I was quiet surprised that the system was not starting up anymore.
After some investigation I've found that the system is not booting if no display is attached to the DVI port of the motherboard. If I start the system with display disconnected, I can hear one beep that notifies about successful BIOS POST, HDD led blinks 2-3 times, and then just nothing happens. System isn't booting up. If I attach the display right after that - nothing is seen on the screen, and display is immediately falling into sleep mode. Keyboard is still active though, and if I press ctrl+alt+del - the system is restarting, and, if display was just connected, it boots ok then. Also it boots fine from the cold state if the display was attached to the DVI port at the time of powering on.
As I can assume from the timings and HDD led blinking, the boot process stops right after GRUB is loaded. There's nothing in system log, cause it seems that boot hangs just before the kernel is loaded by GRUB. I'm really stuck and don't know how to work around this situation, because if the display was disconnected when system was powered on - then there's no way to see anything on the screen until next reboot, and if the display was connected - then the system boots OK.
One more thing to notice:
There was an old CentOS installation on the HDD, to which I installed Arch Linux. I've tried to boot it once or twice before installing Arch, and, as I could remember, it could boot up without display connected, on the very same hardware. So I suppose it's definitely something in Arch that is preventing the system to boot without the display.
I guess that when no display is connected at boot time, NM10 chipset completely disables onboard video, and because of this we can't see anything on the display until the system is restarted. But this somehow affects Arch, so it can't boot without any video hardware present.

I'm afraid there's no such option, but it looks like arch isn't booting just because no graphics card is detected in the system when display it disabled during powering up.
There is a couple of similar topics about some other linux distros can't boot without video card inserted ([1], [2]) with some recommendations on what to do in such a case.
I've followed them - including enabling serial console in /etc/inittab, setting nomodeset in kernel line in grub's menu.lst, checking for enabled splash-screens... but that didn't help.
Does anyone know what options should be tuned in order to boot Arch without any active graphics card present in the system hardware?

Flash CFFORM only displays with HTTPS

I have a VERY basic test cfform in Flash mode that displays
fine from the production server, but fails to show when called from
my local development server. [code copied below]
Eventually I called it via HTTPS and it works - but all I get
is a blank page when running through HTTP. It works fine through
both HTTP and HTTPS when running on the production server.
I've been running Flash content for a while without issues -
but this is my first attempt at using CFFORM in Flash Mode.
The fact my local browsers (IE7, IE6, Firefox latest,
Netscape latest) all get the same results, suggest its my local
CFMX8 or IIS setup that's the problem.
I've tried:
Checking the CFIDE/Scripts is accessible through the browser
- *.js file do download.
Re-installed the connectors.
Made sure the 'file exists' checkbox is NOT ticked in IIS for
*.CFSWF.
Re-installed CFMX8 (several times now!)
Removed IIS and reinstalled.
I'm running Win 2003 and CFMX8 - both with latest updates.
Been struggling for 4 days on this one - does anyone have any
experience with this - any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks
Peter
