had a problem flashing the bios....coz its my 1st time using msi

tried the tool in their site '' msi live update 4 '' and it only showed ver 1.6 which is the one i had

in the bios file a Doc says flash it with a floppy ....whaat are we in 2010 or 2001? ...and its 4mb won't fit in any floppy i have

tried the flash memory but mine was formated NTFC and in the bios ''MZ Flash'' i says only FAT32/FAT...then i said ok i'll format it FAT32

then an old school friend of mine showed up...saying hey just open team viewer i'll flash it for(he used to flash his p35) with a TOOL called AMI FLASH
so he stared working on the settings and said turn off any program and flash...and i and it did every thing and restarted the system...BooM no bios

thank god for that usb bios recovery...i flashed it again now it ver 1.9

WHAT A STORY wasting the the day on flashing the bios...could've been easier if msi had one of those tools like gigabyte or asus

In the BIOS there is a section to flash the BIOS. Similar to how Asus or Gigabyte do theirs.
