Default How to flash the bios

I have a p4s800 and I need to flash the bios, however the issue is I don't have a floppy drive. My powersupply only has one power cord but my video card needs it to power on.

It's an award bios that uses the EZ flash tool (Alt+F2) to enter the bios, but it will only install the new bios file from the floppy device.


Is there an independent utility I can use, installed on my usb device?

you can use a boot cd to get in the same way. You do not need a floppy. Just as long as you can get into DOS mode, your OK!

from there, just run the program like any other. Just make sure you follow all instructions and parameters
