How do I update the bios using a USB stick?

How do I update the bios using a USB stick?
The procedure is probably described in the manual for the motherboard.
-
- Download SystemRescueCD www.sysresccd.org, follow instructions to put it onto a bootable USB.
- Put Bios Files and Update tool exe on a seperate FAT (or maybe FAT32) usb stick
- Put both usb sticks into computer.
- Boot from systemrescuecd, there is an option at the bottom to boot from image of other tools (can't remember the exact name), then choose Freedos.
- Start freedos (sometimes, it requires a couple of attempts to find the right memory manager options, depending on the board)
- change to drive B:, C:, D: etc… until you find the drive where the bios & tools reside.
- run bios update tools.
