Hello fellas and ladies...
I was having a problem with my USB 2.0 drives on my laptop reading as 1.1. I visited the Toshiba website to discover that there was a BIOS flash update to correct the problem. I thought "Great! Finally my external HD will stay connected!". Then I go over to me laptop and realize that there is no floppy. Ugh. So I look at Toshiba's BIOS utility again and discover that I can create a image CD that will flash. Well, the image won't take to the disk using Nero Burning. Besides that, I didn't think it was possible to flash the BIOS with a cd.
So, my question is... if I get an external floppy will I be able to boot with it and flash my BIOS with it? I'm a little frustrated with the cd image and Toshiba even indicates that using the image isn't the best way.
BTW, thanks for the free advice! It is greatly appreicated.

I have a Toshiba laptop, saw the BIOS update, downloaded the .ISO file, used Nero to burn it on a CD and booted and it worked. I think you could have serious problems trying to boot from an external floppy which is normally USB since my Tosh does not allow booting from USB.
Have a good look at Nero, burning an ISO file is fairly straightforward.

Yeah make sure you use "Burn image to disk" and not just burn the ISO file itself to the disk
