Help me Update bios on BFG nforce 680i

[smokin_mitch]

ok i own a BFG nforce 680i board and an intel e6700 overclocked @ 3.5Ghz.

I want to update my bios to the latest version (p26 i think) but im running vista 64 bit and dont have a floppy drive???

i have sent emails to BFG they say to update bios using a bootable flash drive? but they wont give me instructions on how to do that though!


any help would be great!

Check your PM's. I sent you the links to a couple of utilities and some instructions.

Hi thanks for your private message

but im still having trouble. I have run the HP format utility and put the dos files on the usb drive and also the bios update files but when i reboot and press escape to enter boot menu, then select usb drive it just says

Remove disks or other media
press any key to restart

and it keeps repeating that unless i remove the usb drive then it loads vista ?

Any reason you're not sharing with the rest of the class?
