Wow.  You must have a real off-brand motherboard (assuming we're
talking about a BIOS update here).  Most of the boards I've updated
have at least had a bootable CD image I could put on a USB and boot
(thanx to unetbootin).  Have you looked to see if they have other
images?  Don't know if it's possible to run a liveimage of Windoze.
