WARNING: Flashing motherboard BIOS is a dangerous activity that can render your motherboard inoperable! While the author of this article has successfully run this procedure many times, your mileage may vary. Be careful!
The article is here.

P.S. if FreeDOS doesn't work for you or you don't want to risk then you can go here.

I never flash a board from inside of windows or Linux. I just build a bootable cd with the flash program and correct .bin file on it. Any os that will boot the mchine to a run state will work. I started doing this a few of years ago when I trashed a board with a flash from a junk floppy drive. (It cost me $30 to get a new bios chip) I do not trust floppies anymore.
