    floppy disk drive. do you have 1? if not than is it enabled thereby causing the error. if you do have 1 than reseat the floppy drive data cable at both ends & make certain the power connector to drive is seated properly.

    1st to flash the bios u need a floppy it doesnt do it within windows (which i find that extremely stupid considering my old pc chips mobo from 4yrs ago had that technology)

    2nd it doesnt work on vista (msi makes video cards with dx10 like the 8800 which forces u to have vista IF they know that y the hell dont they make their applications vista ready?)

    yeah, that does kind of suck. I only used the live update once. If everything works fine i see no reason to update the BIOS because then i have to go back in there and reset all my settings because it goes back to it's default when it flashes the new BIOS.
    i looked around and just could not find and good information on an FDD error on the web. Hope you can get it sorted out.
