"Essentially what it does is erases the first 1024 cylinders of your hard drive (the ones that are required to have your boot sector on) and then flashes your BIOS to nothing. As of that point, the only way to use your computer is to get a new motherboard, because the old one is fried." So I guess that flashing the motherboard isn't going to work, the second and cheapest thing to do in that situation would be to order a new BIOS, not to by a new motherboard? And the CIH-virus only works on Windows 95/98 systems, not very common these days.
