You should follow the reset instructions for your CMOS before flashing the BIOS. Disconnecting the battery and adjusting the jumper cables are both valid steps, but disconnecting the battery is generally safer as it prevents power-related issues during the process. Make sure to refer to your motherboard manual for exact procedures.

Both options are viable. The jumper/button method is faster and the preferred choice according to motherboard manufacturers, since it’s usually the one specified in the user guide.
