I was wanting to ask my motherboard is a TYAN Trinity KT-A. I have found the correct BIOS update and everything, but I have one question maybe someone can answer. The site says as part of the recomendations:

Two separate diskettes are needed. The first diskette is the Windows 95/98 Boot Disk. The second diskette should contain the 3 files needed to flash the bios. These files are provided when you unzip the bios flash package from the website.

My question is, if I'm running windows XP Pro, do I need the windows 95/98 Boot Disk, or will the DOS boot disk created thru WinXP work the same. The reason I'm asking is the site mentions nothing about anything XP related. Thanks for any advice.

Any bootable floppy will do, since all you need it for is to get into DOS to activate the flash.
