    I need to update my bios so I can run a x64 cpu w/VT support, the dos startup
    disk doesn't recongnize the c: drive and I need to run the bios update from
    the c: drive.

    So how do I create a Startup disk from my 2008 Server?

    Generally you copy the bios update also to floppy.

    Thanks for the responses! I have a MSI board and the instruction say not to
    flash from a floppy.

    ....does anyone have a MSI board and successfully flashed from the floppy?
