OK, I've been spoiled rotten by Gigabyte and Asus with easy flashing utilities, and with DFI and Tmod's bios CD. However, now I'm trying to flash the bios on this new EVGA p55 FTW motherboard. I've tried the method described below direct from EVGA (not sure what they mean by CD. I think that's a typo), and I can't get it to work. Any ideas?
