So I was following the guide here...
I made a little bit of a mistake, I have a Powercolor x800pro vivo. I'd flashed it to enable the extra four pipes, they were enabled but either I wasn't getting enough volts or the extra pipes weren't functional. So I wanted to flash back to 12 pipes, I used the "empty.bin" to get rid of all the bios that I had flashed before, and I had my original x800pro vivo bios ready to flash afterwards. The empty.bin bios went nicely but the x800pro bios were corrupted and wouldn't access off of the floppy, so I was going to wait until I could get on another computer and get the bios.... That was yesterday, now I get home today, and I am ready to try and reinstall the x800 pro vivo bios, but a pesky member of my family had turned my computer off... Now the card isn't functioning too well. By not functioning to well, I mean doesn't function at all... I tried putting in an old pci graphix card so that i could get into the dos mode to reflash the card but it won't recognize the pci card when the x800 is in the agp slot. Is there a way to get it to recognize the pci card over the agp card so that i can flash it, and will that even work?
So to summarize, I flashed the "empty.bin" file to clear all the old bios and my computer was turned off before I could reinstall the x800pro bios.
So my question is this... Is my card raped, or is it possible to flash it back to an x800 pro?
