It depends on the brand of your drives: NEC/OPTIARC can be flashed natively
in Linux
thanks to binflash (it can use both exe and bin files).
Don't have NEC.
In other cases, you have to use something like a "Windows live
cd" (I don't
remember the link, but you need a copy of the XP install CD anyway) or a
good old DOS floppy boot disk.
