Flash Award bios from cd rom ...floppy drive dead?

Hi

While I was off on vacation the office pc gave my associate the

Award Bootblock Bios v1.0
Bios rom checksum error
keyboard error or no keyboard present (its usb)

After attempting to restart it and failing the first half dozen
attempts she finally got it to boot up and it has been on ever since,
about 2 months now, till I tried again last night. It took another 6
attempts or so before it started successfully. Nothing happened the
other 5 attempts it was like the monitor was disconnected. From other
posts I've read it would appear that I need to flash the bios again to
repair pc. However my floppy drive appears dead not seeing any disks
entered.

I have found a copy of the BIOS on the driver cd rom that came with the
system located at

E:\Utility\Awdflash\awd826f (it would appear this is an .exe file but I
forgot to check its ext.)

However it says to run this from real DOS which I presume means I cant
just shell out using Startruncmd.

so I now presume I'm going to have to try and restart pc catch it on
the f8 key and get the command prompt from there.

Now is the above file all I need to flash the bios?
and can someone please give me the DOS commands required...Its been 10
years since I last had to type any dos

Many thanks
