Search for the bios bootable cd. It should be available in small print
from the Win7 bios update page. Now without a cdrom drive, it gets
tricky, I think I was using a perl script I found somewhere called
eltorito.pl to extract the disk image and just dd'd that to a usb disk.
If you have a CD drive installed, of course it's much easier to just
burn the iso using cdrecord...worked like a charm.
