    The software BIOS they mean, not the BIOS chip!

    Well it wasn't obvious to me what you meant in your post.
    As for the BIOS replacement, there shouldn't be anything else to it, other than to follow the install procedure.

    Does your PC have a floppy drive? They usually seem to be done via a floppy disk (a little stone age, isn't it?) and then booting from the floppy will overwrite the BIOS.

    I'd expect so nowadays, it depends what sort of discs the motherboard will accept the flash off.

    well no, the software you use to burn them with is what makes them bootable discs.
