Well as far as I have heard about updating these bios's
Is that you keep the bios utility and the rom on a disk. No other files. Then boot the PC with your start up disk in it. Choose the option without the cd-rom support.
Then take out start up disk and insert the one with the bios. Typ dir and type a line like the following

biosutility biosrom.rom

That should start it up is what I've heard. However don't just settle for my answer. Ask other people more familiar on this. Also you are aware if something goes wrong you might damage your bios chip if not the whole motherboard.
