Use this site to find your correct BIOS http://whitebunny.demon.nl/hardware/chipset_nvidia.html . I don't know any way to flash it without a floppy from Windows, but you can certainly use a bootable CD if your out of floppys. Voltages for 5700le are 1.28 and 1.29. Voltages for 5700ultra are around 1.35. Use Nvbitor to modify it and see if its compatible. Use VGABIOS to check if it works with your videocard and use Nvflash to flash it.

*note I would make a bootable floppy and put everything in it so you can boot into MS-dos.

commands:
VGABIOS -fbios.rom (where bios is the name of your bios)
Nvflash bios.rom (whre bios is the name of your bios)

It is hard to find the BIOS for it. And sorry I only know how to flash the BIOS without floppy for a mobo.

You will have to do some true MS-dos work so download Ultimate boot cd 3.3
it's got a RACK of harddisk tools for formatting and stuff but primarily several systems to boot into DOS...which is what you'll need(with cd-rom support)....
Set your bios to boot from the cd-rom 1st....put in the disk and when it boots up pick F6 then F1 i believe...put in your disk that you burned with the bios(es) and Nvflash 5.13...you're ready to test then out now...if you get any errors like "GPU mismatch"..you really shouldn't try it...

Ok here's the deal. You can't download a 5700ultra BIOS because you dont have a 5700ultra card. You have a 5700le so you have to download a 5700le BIOS that suits your card. Use Nvibitor to check if its compatible with your card or not and use it to change "5700le into 5700ultra" (using Nvibitor) and if you still get a green light, then your all set to go. Have fun.

is there any way i can back it up to hard drive

wudaddy

of course
save it onto your floppy and then open the floppy in windows and find the file backup.rom then drag it into where ever you want it.

did u not read my other posts i dont have a floppy drive or disk

wudaddy

its the same thing with the CD....save it on there (if you can) and open it up in Windows. I'm not too sure about this though, try it.
