Too bad all your facts is not helping Daos. Apparently if you were right he would have posted back again and said thank you BeenThereB4. you made how many post to tell Drewdrip and I your right and we are wrong. I wonder where has that gotten Daos? Apparently no where. So this is just an exercise in futility. Round and Round it goes. But in the endm Daos is the one that loses. Stop being so obsessed with being "what u think" is right. You keeping sprouting trivia, u dont even ask what kind of board he has how old it is what kind of bios, who is the manufacturer. Nothing u just keep posting. Poor Daos. Anyways Daos check the links below for more info. Good luck to you. i agree with Drewdrip 100% and dont worry about it. Just pop in a new bios chip and you will be up and running again. http://www.computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/44354.html http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic10346.html http://www.digimate.co.uk/biosfaq.htm http://www.pcguide.com/ref/mbsys/bios/compFlash-c.html http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,34/func,view/id,7385/catid,12/
