BIOS update

I just found out how hard it is to update the BIOS if I scrap windows completely from my hard drive. Without it, I need to download a bootdisk and write it to my floppy and from that boot up and flash. Not all my computers have floppy drives, and I don't have many floppies at home. Most are real old and don't work very well.

I still haven't been able to flash the BIOS of my linux laptop. Flashing my Windows XP laptop was a breeze in comparison. I downloaded an exe file and opened it from Windows, and it flashed my BIOS, just like that!

Mental note,
keep Windows, if just to ease BIOS updates. Its worth it.
