When attempting to flash update the motherboard from windows i recieve the error "please open correct bios".
I have downloaded the correct bios file to replace the one I have now, and backed up the exsisting bios.
Whenever I try to open the file that I need it says "please open correct bios".

Are there any other programs that can be used to flash a bios in windows? I don't have a functioning floppy disc drive so this is the only way the problem is going to get solved.
