A Bad Bios Flash , Need Some Help Here....

Dancing_Priest · 06-10-03, 01:26 PM

Hey All

I recently ordered a 1700 paly from ebay to go into my iwill kk266r. I knew that to support the xp I had to update the bios. So I went to the iwill site and downloaded the latest bios (its been out for a while now) . I double clicked it and trasferred all the files from the folder it created onto a floppy disk . (awardflash and the bios .bin file) . I restarted the comp and went into awardflash , I selected the kkr1022.bin file and hit enter , it then proceded to load. It then restarted with a "BIOS checksum rom error". It loads awardflash as before but now it wont allow me to select the bin file , well it comes up as before but when I hit "return" to load it nothing happens.
Now my question is simple , how do I get It running again , Can I even get it running again?! By the way I'm usind xp , so i cant get into the dos enviroment from the start up disk

Cheers In Advance

sounds llike the flash was susscesful. The check some error came up because the bios was reset during the flash.

Well , It wen through the motion okay , but why would it reset itsself?

Sorry, dumb question.. did you remove the floppy when you restarted?

(don't laugh.. a friend of mine did that. It would reboot and reload the floppy.. he thought he messed up his board. took out the floppy, booted right to windows...)

Nope , Im afraid that I only after comr back from pud to check email , am quite drunk. But no the floppy is in the drive and allways has been. Would a respectabe compueter shop have the equipment to repair my damage ,and if so how much would it cost , bearing in mind that it is a relativly old board?
Chers an d Im sorry if I'm not totally coherent , but ive just finished my exams today and being irish , Al teensie weensey celeration was in order

Friends don't let friends post drunk.

Try clearing CMOS (after you've sobered up).
