- Copy BIOS to a boot-up diskette as well as the update tool (usually, Afudos). - Boot from the diskette and run the program. - Point to the location of the new BIOS and update it. Remember to load defaults on next boot from the PC. If you had altered any setting in the BIOS, you have to alter it again otherwise, your good to go.
