Whoa! I just tried it using the Windows method. It flashed BIOS but when I rebooted I got the following message:

CMOS/GPNV Checksum Bad
Press F1 to run setup
Press F2 to load default values and continue

I hit F2 and am still running but I must be doing something wrong. This motherboard is old and was given to me so it is no big deal if I need to buy a new board that can handle bigger drives and faster CPUs (which I also bought and it is also having problems with).
