OK, anyone please help me. I made a MS-DOS startup disk, and then extracted the bios update to the disk. I restarted and it booted up. Said type 10s to flash to the 10s bios. I typed 10s and then this is what i got:

Cannont Flash if Memory Managers (e.g. HIMEM) present.
Press any key to continue...

Then it takes me back to A:/

So what do i do?

Here is winphlash, or you can download it from Eurocom's website, I'm not sure which one is a newer version

Ackkk!

I remember this problem from before! You must have a very early version of BIOS on your machine, since this occurs when trying to flash from (I think) 1.00.3.

If you cannot get winflash, make your self a bootdisk from Dr.DOS 7...still the cleanest, best bootdisk I've ever encountered.

Here's a link
