Thanks mate. Sadly I don't have a pen drive. I think it's going to be easier to buy a IDE DVD drive as I'm familiar with flashing from those. I use Win 98SE, start the PC with CD rom support and then awdflash.exe 7893497.bin or whatever..
Problem is if you boot Win98SE with a SATA drive it doesnt pick it up.

Nah sadly that doesn't work mate. I always run in IDE mode any way due to the AHCI issues (having to load a driver on when installing, getting it all on there only to find the driver doesn't work and then being unable to get into the install you just spent an hour doing, SSD issues ETC).
Winflash is fanny tastic for AMD but on Intel and Award it's not such a good idea.. Doesn't matter, got a brand new Pioneer for £16 del and will be fitting it (got a rounded Asus cable that I can hide 100% due to the BF's cable management).
I wouldn't mind if SATA was faster, but, I mean, 52x CD is 52x CD and 24X DVD write is 24X DVD write. So the SATA ones are no faster..
I joined Quantum Force today. It's Foxconn's answer to the ROG. Guess what? their site actually works and doesn't take about an hour to load
They also hand out beta bioses left right and center and I have found the one I need for the 4xx support

If you motherboard supports USB it is the way to go and if it has the function even easier like ASUS's EZ-Flash.
If not here is the HP usb format tool and files you need to make it bootable, I uploaded it here.

Just start the HP application up and "create a DOS start up disk" then point it to files in other RAR.
