I bought a 9700 non pro a month or two ago and flashed it to a pro bios. Its pretty much always stable but now and again i get wierd lines all over the screen and i have to restart the PC to get rid of them. So I decided to flash it back to origional non pro bios for safety. Then tonight when i tried to do that using atiflash, i got an error saying something like 'could not open file oldbios.bin. I thought maybe it was a problem with the bin file so i tried downloading the right one for my card from a website and the same problem occured. Also tried a couple of different floppies and it was the same.
Is there something obvious im missing out? I used dr dos flash to make the boot floppy and im using the command 'atiflash -p 0 biosname.bin'
