YOU CANNOT RUN BIOS UPDATES FROM A DOS WINDOW.
You must BOOT FROM A DOS DISK.
in XP open the My Computer Icon.
Right Click on the floppy and do FORMAT
Make sure you check the box that says MAKE MSDOS STARTUP DISKETTE.
Then save the bios update program onto the disk.
Then run it after booting from the disk.
