Hello,
I'm a new member of the mailing list too, until now i was only a passive reader.
I have a suggestion. You can use grub to boot a floppy disk image with the flasher and bios. (and flash it). Here is how http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Boot_Floppydisk_Image_without_Floppy_using_GRUB
Good luck! ____________ Frederico Silva
I don't want to get into a big OT discussion on the list (esp. being new here), but it looks like this just boots a dos image. I've been able to boot dos on a cd iso I got on allbootdisks.com, and access the HP flash utility (which is just a bundled version of the Phoenix bios winphlash utility) on a usb key, but it says it won't run in dos mode.
It will apparently (from what I've read) run at a dos command prompt within windoze. But windoze won't run from a cd without being installed (again according to what I've read), and that's what I want to avoid.
But thanks for the suggestion.
