BIOS is completely separate from the Operating System.  Generally, you flash the 
BIOS using a utility from the motherboard / BIOS manufacturer.  You would download 
the utility and the new BIOS file (sometimes the new BIOS file comes with the utility 
or vice versa), create a diskette or cd using the procedures set forth by the manufacturer 
/ writer of the BIOS, and then reboot the machine using the afore mentioned diskette 
or cd.
