Salut, i have a gigabyte mobo(GA-8S648FX) and i want to update BIOS (F4-->F8), i have downloaded the file, could someone explain me the procedure? I am using WinXP pro sp2.
You should follow the instuctions on the motherboard manufacturers website. Surely they have intructions? Usually you will have to do something like put the file onto a floppy, and rename it to change the extension or something, and then boot the computer and press Alt+F2 or something. It should tell you in the manual or on the website.
It doesn't have to be a bootable floppy I don't think.
