Yes, you can. I use the biosdisk Dell utility to update my Inspiron laptop, it should work with any hardware...
do you know if this could allow one to boot any image? (may be a live cd image?)
I dl the package and it seems to be simply a python script, but testing it is not so obvious
thanks jdd

Well, this utility takes an EXE (bios updater) as a parameter, puts it inside a FREEDOS floppy image and adds a entry in grub to boot it up.
