bootable floppy disc.
 
I need to flash BIOS(I have downloaded from Gigabyte.com).
And inorder to do so,I need windows boot floppy which I do not have.
So,my question is that if Linux has boot floppy program that I can download ,so I can run the exe. program.

Look at www. bootdisk.com and use non windows image files. http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

I am using older Mac(9.1) and with this OS new floppy shows only 1.3MB and the DOS IMG does not fit.
I have to do this with Mac and boot my PC.
Is ti possible to do something?

I can create a boot floppy disk image that I can email you and then you can use MDK to create a floppy.

BTW what is the model number of your motherboard.

No,I can not use MDK now because I can only boot from CD rom or Floppy,Suse live boots but no hard drive detected.
Because BIOS is old and no large hard drive support.
So,only computer working now is my old mac(9.1).
and I want to create a boot floppy with this.so I can flush the BIOS and use MDK.
The mother boad is Gigabyte GA-5SMM .
My problem now is Mac 9.1 somehow gives only 1.3MB disk space to floppy,so the program I downloaded from Bootdisk.com does not fit.
If you can send me bootdisk,appreciate!
