XoDeus Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi all. I wonder how to mount a floppy drive and write files to it? I need to update my BIOS and don't know how to write to floppy.

XoDeus Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 No it can't be right. Is it not built in to the kernel? What if I run Windows on some virtualization? Maybe there are some hacks that enables the internal floppy drive?

Callysto Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Floppy drives are not supported in Mac OS X unless you have a USB floppy drive. Then that leaves the problem of how to make a bootable floppy disc in Mac OS anyway. Although you could probably make a bootable CD much easier then put your files on that.

Booted to knoppix copied files to floppy fired up the PC again and updated the BIOS.
