I have WinXP Pro and a need to move to a newer BIOS version. Known requirement for some software. Question: The AWDFLASH.EXE text file blandly states that a DOS boot without CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT is needed. MS Knowledge base has nothing and none of my XP materials seem to yield an answer. Any ideas?

How to make AWARD Modular 6.00 PGN upgrade under XP without
I had found the MS INSTALL file on the MS site but wondered if it allows booting to simply a DOS prompt before getting through the key start up files. Would you know or have a suggestion in getting around the programming? Otherwise I also got a copy of DOS 6.22 for XP and figure that should work. Again, Thanks.
I brought down a copy of a DOS 6.2 boot disk, took off many of the unneeded files. Worked like a champ. Thanks --- and I really do think someone should post a procedure in the Collected Wisdom list. Save a bit of extra typing. Thanks!
