Can I flash using a USB pen?

I have a 256mb usb pen drive, would I be able to flash my bios using this? I flash in dos using afudos, would it work?

Allways used floppys in the past. But I dont have one connected to the motherboard.

you can if your board has usb support whilst in dos

if you use a boot cdrom made in nero or ultimate boot disk it should tell you as you boot

you could also use a cdrom

Cheers, I'll give it a shot.

Got a problem, I havent a way to get into dos, cos my boot disks are floppys lol. :rolleyes:

I'll try your method above using a bootable CDRW.
