For Windows Explorer: Select File > New > Folder to create a new folder, then rename it from
"New Folder" to "temp" or another convenient, unused name. Assuming "temp" works, a
"c:\temp" folder should now be created.

At the Command-line prompt (c:\>), type "mkdir temp" or "md temp" (without quotes – mkdir
and md stand for make directory). This is the same as creating a new folder using Windows
Explorer. There should now be a "c:\temp" subdirectory created (where c: is the drive letter used in
this example).
Download the correct firmware file to this temporary folder. As shown in Figure 10-3:
