Is there enough room on the floppy to fit the old bios?  That may be the
problem.

You should be able to download the current version of the bios from the
motherboard manufacturer's web site.   There are usually several versions
available.  I don't see any reason that you need to save the current version
during the upgrade when you can download a copy of it.

BIOS FLASHING: "Can't File Source File !"

I made the floppy in Win98 (using "format" under the A drive).  Added the
award flash utility & unpacked .bin flash from ECS.

Everything goes along fine until it asks if I want to save my current BIOS-
I say "Y"- name it, (oldbios.bin) then it starts the save process but ends
with "Can't File Source File!"

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
