Bad command or firmware - "WIN1501263.EXE"

[Gustavo Narea]

Hello, everyone.

I'm trying to upgrade my BIOS with biodisk, but it mounts an image which has 
0% free space and then tries to write in it, so it fails. This is the output I 
get:
> $ sudo biosdisk install Win1501263.EXE
> + mkdir -p /tmp/biosdisk

The error caused by `cp -f Win1501263.EXE /tmp/biosdisk' translates as 
"writing «/tmp/biosdisk/Win1501263.EXE»: There is not enough space in the 
device".

I get that error even with `mkimage'.

How can I fix this? Would this be solved if it's saved to a CD? If so, how can 
I do it? I couldn't find information on how to do it in a CD.

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy.

Thanks in advance.
