Newbi Alert: Can't flash my BIOS!

Hi!

About two weeks ago my AAO took a trip to coma-world, after the BIOS gave up. I recovered it. No problem there.

So, i want to ugrade (flash) my BIOS, so it will not happen again. I have BIOS version 3301, and want to flash it to 3309. I have a 4GB Cruzer Micro, it's bootable, and i got the files. I rebooted my AAO, pressed F12, chose "Run as LiveCD". The current driver when i'm in "DOS" is A:/.

So, the problem is, what drive is my USB-Stick? In Ubuntu it's /dev/sdb1 (!), and i should be drive B,C,D,or E? With this in my thoughts, i ran Unetbootin in Wine, and made a bootable USB, and set the drive to be D:/. I rebooted, typed D:/, and nothing happened. It's the same with B,C, and E;/. So, anyone having the same problem, or having the solution?

Thanks in advance, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

here is a step-by-step introduction

This dosn't work in my Terminal:

Code:

sudo yum install syslinux p7zip-plugins
wget -O unetbootin [url]http://downloads.sourceforge.net/unetbootin/unetbootin-linux-293[/url]
chmod 755 unetbootin
sudo ./unetbootin &

By the way, this is the guide i followed. i installed unetbootin with a .deb-package and not thrue Terminal.

 

Just open the packagemanager and check for syslinux and something called p7zip... (I don't remember the correct name) install them and it will work.
