Need quick advice on BIOS flash

Allnatural · Sep 6, 2001, 12:34 AM

I'm going to be flashing the BIOS on my 8k7a+, hopefully it will fix the problem I'm having with 4x AGP. Anyway, I need to make more space on a standard Win98 startup disk for the flash files. Which files are safe to remove? I figure Fdisk and the CD-rom drivers (of which I think there are two) can go. Is there anything else?

Just take a blank floppy, format it with the option to copy system files (in windows; in dos you would type format a: /s), and you're all set.

Actually it's best to have just the flash utility and the update on the disk you're using to flash the BIOS.
