Or have you done it successfully?

If your using a bios update through dos as some bios updates are still done that way, I agree that sighted assistance is desirable in case something should go wrong. However, the majority of new laptops and desktop computers and variants there of use windows-based bios flashing utilities. The NC10 is a good example of this.
