Have a look for a flash program that will run in winodws. I had one for my 7800 GT that worked fine.

Just make a bootable CD with nvflash or whatever program you use now and the bios on.

Wonder if you could use Leadteks Winfox Windows flasher? Is the card Leadtek by any chance?

Do you have Nero?

Don't use Leadteks Winfox Windows flasher if your thinking of running SLI with them sometime....(It somehow disables the SLI support in the cards)

Get a floppy drive for about a fiver and use NiBiTor 2.6

Here's a guide to making a bootable CD in Nero 6, Nero 7 should be the same procedure.

EDIT: Here's a better way.

http://www.thetechguide.com/howto/winmebootcd.html

Grab the image file from that site. (put on Desktop so it's easy to find)

Open Nero, or other burning program (preferrably NOT the Windows XP burning program - I'll use steps in Nero as the example).

Create a new CD. Select in the list - CD-ROM (boot). Click the box to point Nero to that image file you downloaded. In the bottom section, choose in the pull down menu - Kind Of Emulation = Floppy Emulation 1.44. (you can leave 'Boot Message' and 'Load segment...' alone) In the final box, change the 1 to a 4. Click on New.

Now, in your compilation box, simply drag and drop your flash, and BIOS rom file and burn.

Set your comp's BIOS to boot from CD if you haven't already, and restart.
