isnt the bootable disk the flash and the new bios on a
floppy disk. these are the instructions.
Create a bootable system floppy disk.
Download the FLASH.EXE and copy FLASH.EXE to the just
created boot disk in step 1.
Download an updated ASRock BIOS file (WinZip format
with .zip file extension) from the web site, unzip the
BIOS file and save to the disk you created in step 2.
Boot from the disk you created in step 3.
At the "A:\" prompt, type FLASH, hit space bar once, and
type BIOS file name then press <Enter>. For example:
A:\FLASH K7VT2_1.20 <Enter> then you will see a
message "Please wait for BIOS loading ROM".
After 1 minute, you will see the message "Flash ROM
Update Completed - Pass", then you have finished
upgrading the BIOS.
After finishing upgrading the BIOS, please remove the
floppy disk. Restart your system and press <F2> to enter
the BIOS setup utility during boot up.
In Exit menu, please select "Load Default Settings" and
press <Enter> to continue.
Select "Exit Saving Changes" and press <Enter> to exit
the BIOS setup utility.
Now, system is booting up with new BIOS.
