Default Help flashing bios - no floppy drive

So I have no floppy drive and it seems as if my usb doesnt work at all in dos/bios.

So... how can I flash the bios on my M2N motherboard?? I havent done it in a while and I am anxious that I am going to fry something. I have to flash it to get my new x3 to be compatible with it...

There is a windows installer, but like smokin said, their site is way slow. 8 minutes so far trying to find the BIOS update....

You are better off using Asus Ezflash method. If you have a USB flashdrive it's very easy. Format it as FAT32 and put the bios on it, then go into your bios and select EZflash.

Windows flashing is not always safe.

If you have a cd burner you can use a boot disk iso and burn it with the bios. Then you just need to boot from cd. I used that method when i flashed my 7950.
