Hey guys, I would search for this answer but the searching feature is down.
Anyway, I've been trying to flash my BIOS a few times tonight but am having problems. I tried using the MSI Live Update Tool but when I tried that, it said it installed correctly but the old version still remains. So I decided to download the lastest BIOS from MSI's website and burn it on a CD since I don't have a floppy drive on my computer. The only thing I'm familiar with burning software onto CD's usingg the ISO image but the zipfile doesn't even have that. Can anyone break it down for me?
If it helps, here's the link to the BIOS page.

If you go to 'AMD' then 'MSI K8N Diamond Plus (MS-7220)' the top BIOS is the one I'm trying to get.
Another question, a notice is highlighted next to the download button.
It says: "Please Note: BE SURE TO UPDATE THE BIOS WITH FOLLOWING COMMAND: AFDOS404 A7220NMS.30A /P /C /B /N
or use the 7220.BAT file attached"
Excuse me for sounding like a complete retard but what the hell does all that stuff mean?
Lastly, if it's possible, could someone download the BIOS I'm looking at and tell me what I need to put onto a CD to make it work?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!
