Just looked at it, the .exe writes new floppy image, containing
a .exe that writes flash from inside itself... Odd. Having a
boot disk may not be the answer.

ftp://ftp.scatter.mine.nu/develop/de....EXE-image.bz2 (520KB)

for the floppy image, same method:
bzcat dell-XPSR_A13.EXE-image.bz2 | dd of=/dev/fd0

deltree:archive$ ls -l /mnt/floppy/
total 720
