Yes, if you have a floppy drive you can make a boot disk and run the
aflash program from it. I never recommend using the windows easy flash
utility. It's too buggy and in this case newer was not better.

No. There is always a risk but the more you know the safer you will be.
However, if you follow the directions and don't loose power your odds of
screwing up are very low. Just don't flash during and ice or wind storm
and you should be ok.

I have built several pcs using this exact board and have flashed updated
the bios on all of them. Not once did I have a problem.

Absolutely. One of several ways to do this is to simply hit the pause
key as the pc begins to boot and the bios screen appears showing this
info. You can pause at any screen and then continue by hitting pause
again or the enter key.
You can also enter bios by hitting the delete key during boot. Just exit
without saving changes to continue booting.
Post back if you need more instructions.
