Does your motherboard come with a windows BIOS flash utility? Most do these days. Use that if you can.

Otherwise there are plenty of guides around for flashing the BIOS from a USB drive. Here's one I googled: http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-usb-stick.htm

Don't know if it's any good but try it. If not, look for others. If you still fail, flash from CD-ROM. There are plenty of guides on the web for that too.
