Not really, burn the file to cd and reset the the bios to boot from cd, not floppy, at least long enough to flash the bios. CDs and cd drives are dirt cheap, but then so are floppy drives - about $10, maybe $15 delivered to your door. No need to buy the high dollar floppy, I only need one to work maybe a half dozen times over its life.
