Bios/english

I'm updating all of my IBM computers'
bios.

I take the updates from the IBM site.

Up to now I have no problems and it's an easy procedure.

However, now I come to one computer that I'm having problems with.

I download the bios update and put it onto a floppy. Then I boot the machine and normally the bios update runs itself with instructions.

With this problem computer, it doesn't read the bios update on the floppy after booting. Instead it gives me a dilogue box saying that the floppy needs formatting.

Any suggestions what's wrong?
