How do I update BIOS in mobos?

[omega366]

I have a Soltek SL-K8TPro-939 motherboard and need to update the BIOS so it can support dual core. The manual says I need to load the bios into a bootable floppy disk. Problem is I dont have a floppy drive. Is there any other way to do it such as using a cdr? Also does anyone have the 1.5 BIOS. Their website doesnt seem to work. Have they gone out of business?

Create a clean bootable CD with the files needed to flash. The only difference will be that you cannot backup your current BIOS. Clean bootable means not loading anything with config.sys and autoexec.bat.

Here is 1 method although I can't vouch for it as I have not actually tried it. Just google create bootable cd without floppy drive, there are lots of guides out there.
