Firm/flash/bios updates frequently require using exe.  Which is a
bummer.  They REALLY SHOULD provide a bootable CD for that purpose. 

I have found that booting the machine to DOS using a bootable CD (see
http://www.freedos.org/ for iso's) allows one to insert a diskette
-or- hookup an external usb drive; and run windows executables. That is
how I flash all my dell desktops and servers.
