Nope. I don't use Floppy Drives anymore. Isn't there another method of updating the bios?

You maybe able to boot off a USB drive. It's a little bit involved but doable.

Download new BIOS to C:\\

Make a new folder called BIOS UPDATE: UnZip the new Bios to that directory.

Tap ALT + F2 at startup (keep doing it) til you get to the EZBios screen.

press TAB to select which drive, then navigate to the unpacked Bios.

That should work for the P5k

I have another Asus mobo and I updated BIOS via Windows with a software called ASUSUpdate. I installed it from the CD that came with the mobo. I'm not sure if that exist for your mobo. You can try looking for it.

Format a flash drive with FAT or FAT32, put the new bios on it then go to bios, select EZ Flash under tools menu.
You will see your falsh drive listed in there, select your bios and it will do it's stuff.
Have done it a few times without any problems.
