How to flash bios - QDI-Mainboard

[Susanne Senger]

Hallo,

I would like to upgrade my daughter's PC from Win2K to WinXP - if I set the
bios to "boot from CD only" I get an error message, that the system cannot
be booted. If I set 2nd boot device to hard disk, it boots without any
question from the hard disk. I decided to flush the bios, but for that you
need a win98 os, which I don't have. Any ideas?

Thank you

Susanne

Susanne;
Are you sure?
The BIOS has little to do with the operating system.
You do not need an operating system installed to flash the BIOS.
Check your motherboard manual or contact the manufacturer for flash
information.
