1. Create a system diskette

    FORMAT A: /S

2. Copy all files from the BIOS update utility to the newly created diskette

3.  Reboot your machine with the diskette in drive A:

4.  Follow the instructions given.  (You have the option of backing up your
current BIOS.  I strongly
    recommend you do this)

5.  After the update, write-protect the update diskette and store it in a
safe place.
