Comment:

I am attempting to upgrade the BIOS on my Packard Bell Platinum 5600. I have created the startup disk via Add/Remove Programs Utility and then extracting the BIOS files to the same disk. The problem is that there is not enough space on the disk for all of the files by around 100K or so. Can you advise what I can do to proceed. The BIOS upgrade is for a good reason.

generally the only files needed for flashing bios are:
IO.sys
msdos.sys
command.com
...flash.exe
...bin

delete all except the first 3 files before copying/extracting the last 2 files to the floppy
