Bios Upgrade

When installing a Bios upgrade, how long will it usually take to complete the operation. I tried to upgrade my Bios, the screen went blank and the computer shut down except for the power light. I waited for about 15 minutes and nothing else happened. I tried hitting enter and the space bar and still nothing happened. Finally I held the power button until the computer shut down and restarted it. I still had the old Bios. Did I not wait long enought or was the upgrade not happening.

Should only take seconds. Sure you're following the directions correctly and using the right version of BIOS for this system?

BTW: Why are you updating BIOS? If the update fixes a problem you're having, then it's probably worthwhile. If you're doing it just to have the latest version, is it really necessary?

How far did you get? what messages were on the screen? Which version of dos did you use? What model machine?
