maybe an easy question
Hi Good morning. I think i had an easy question, but I do not know the answer. The question is: How to flash/update the BIOS without having the floppy disc drive (drive A)? My second hand laptop didnot come with floppy disc. Can I just copy the file in the floppy disc (which contains the BIOS files) to my CD-R disc? Then use the CD-R disc to flash/update the bios?
Or you have any other idea how to flash/update the BIOS without floppy disc drive?

How do you know your BIOS needs flashing. Not a good idea unless you know it needs it.
