Hi:

 

It doesn't look like you can.

 

What I recommend is for you to get a USB floppy disk drive so that the utility can create the diskette and you can flash the BIOS from booting from the diskette in the USB floppy drive.

 

USB floppy drives are not expensive. You should be able to get one for less than $20 USD.
