download one of the versions available on the Internet.

[CHIPSET SETUP]. Please [ Disable ] the option before attempting to
update the BIOS.

floppy disk, (run FORMAT A: /S under DOS to create a start up disk which
only has the system COMMAND.COM); or press F8 to bypass the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS startup files.
