Can't update BIOS on ASUS P5B

May 1st, 2009

I have an ASUS P5B (non-delux) and I am trying to update the BIOS to be able to use the Wofdale core (1333) but I'm running into a huge problem. I don't have a floppy drive. I have read about others using a bootable CD that brings them into the updater with the updated BIOS file on it. Also I don't have the CD that came with the Mobo as we have moved a couple times since I got it and...well you know how that goes.

Is there anyone who can help me?
