    Depends what BIOS (AMI, Award...) you've got there. If it's AMI then the Filename is: AMIBOOT.ROM

    You should format your USB Flashdrive with FAT16 (aka FAT), then copy the original BIOS to your flashdrive and check if everything is ok ... then you should try the modified/updated BIOS.

    BTW: The USB Flashdrive must not be bootable for this purpose

    Good luck...I hope this helps
