What board are you wanting to do this on? – MaQleod Mar 21 '11 at 7:43
Hi, MaQleod, I'm using an average ASUS motherboard. – grandproducts Mar 21 '11 at 8:13
AFAIK, the only way to do it (from a technical point of view) is to delegate all BIOS accesses to a device driver in ring0. This is what the official configuration tools do, I'd guess. – grawity Mar 21 '11 at 12:48

For ASUS boards, you can update the BIOS using their utility which will run within windows.

I do hope they spent more time on the actual configuration code than on the horrible appearance... – grawity Mar 21 '11 at 12:46
