If you have access to a running Windows XP system on another computer,
there is a way to build a Windows Live CD from which to run your BIOS
update. Download the Bart's PE file (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/) and
install it. Run it with a Windows distribution CD mounted.

If you have the Windows CD, but not access to a machine running
Windows, the .iso can be built in a virtual machine. I used a
VirtualBox copy of Windows XP. Unfortunately, the builder will not run
in Wine.
