bios update

[Sebastian]

Apologies if this has been discussed, I couldn't find it.

I have a single boot FC14 system on a Dell precision M6500 precision
notebook and wish to update the BIOS.

I go to the Dell download site, and for my machine select the closest match
to my operating system: RH Enterprise Linux 5.
This gives me the only option to download an EXE file: "M6500A06.EXE"

Is it possible to update my bios with this file given my current
installation?
I have windows Virtual Box under FC14, or,
Do I need to delete my installation, install windows and reinstall?
As I really don't want to do this, a final option to consider: could I
install windows via a USB drive (so as to not destroy my current system) and
then install bios?

Here is the link to the driver?

thanks for any help,
Sebastian
