    It should only take a twenty seconds or so to download the BIOS image once the process starts. If it has been sitting there an hour then either the update is done and it's not saying so or the flashing program has hung.

    Just reboot them machine with all digits as tightly crossed as possible.

    Thats definitely good. :)

    Make sure you have the latest stable version of the flashing tool and check if there is a problem with that floppy.
