May I ask how you burned it? You shouldn't just move the file to a CD. Depending on the software you use, you will need to look for an option to burn an ISO image.

Then this video may help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MUXDbWswZg

Normally updating the BIOS via CD is the safest approach, it's pretty easy too. It will ask you to have the laptop connected to an AC adapter and have a fully charged battery.

Good luck!
