Can you flash with a CD instead of a floppy?

[mikel33]

Hello,

Can you flash with CD insteaqd of a floppy, as I have no floppy.. I know how to make the CD bootable, just want to know if there is a reason they still say floppy? Thanks much

I don't think so. You can flash with a USB stick though :)

I wonder why? It does the same thing, right? Bootable should be bootable.. Has anyone heard of anyone doing this?

lol, I REALLY need a BIOS flash.

Is a USB drive as easy as a floppy for flashing? Trying to decide which one to get

[cdawall]

you should be able to use a CD does the BIOS flashing software work on cladera dos cause f it does you can just use the create boot disk option in nero

Use the classic method of making bootable CDs,

Make a bootable floppy with the flash utility and bios image, point your burning software to use the floppy as an image.
