Recovering the BIOS
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 11 lists the drives and media types that
can and cannot be used
for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not have
to be bootable.

USB removable drive (a USB Flash Drive, for example) Yes
