Just to let anyone reading this thread, I have successfully updated my Inspiron 8000`s original A04 BIOS to the most recent release of A23 without a hitch, using the "floppy" method as suggested by those that know better.
Now to order that 40GB Hitatchi Travelstar 7200RPM 8MB cache!

The Inspiron 8000 can use a larger hard drive than 40 GB. I am using a 7K60 in mine right now. That is IBM-Hitachi's 7200 RPM 60 GB hard drive.
As a note, I love this hard drive.
