Usually the mobo manufacturers have a DOS-based bios upgrade tool available that can be used after booting to DOS. If you need a DOS boot disk (or boot cdrom) go look at "Bart's Boot Disk" at http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/modboot/. It is a nice all around tool that will do what you need. On the mobo manufacturer's website look for the executable and the bios upgrade file and put those on cdrom or floppy. Boot with the boot disk and then pop and run in the disk/cdrom with the bios upgrade. Mike
I have a MSI K8T Neo motherboard on which I'd like to update the bios in the hope that it will stop some periodic nasty crashes that I've been having (both the keyboard and the mouse stop responding, so that my only option is a hard reboot).
The instructions on the motherboard site are for Windows only. Is there a process or a utility I can use to do it in linux? I feel like I'm missing something obvious here, but this is new territory for me.
