I'm sitting here looking at my "K8T Neo-FIS2R". I'm lost. I can't get the bios recovery feature to work. After the bad flash, my system won't post at all. It powers on and seems to be in a constant reset state. My two cd rom drives led lights keep flashing as the system resets continually. The system won't even try to access the floppy drive, which has the bios recovery disk in it. I also have an AMI bios recovery setup CD & an Award bios recovery CD that I have tried in each cd rom drive at startup. Neither disc works as the system resets just about every 3 seconds and doesn't have time to read the disc (if it will read them at all). I am at a lost of options. Does anyone have other recovery steps that I could take? I went out to purchase the exact same board yesterday, but it was out of stock, so I had to settle for the "K8T Neo-FSR". I don't want this board, so I have 10 days to decide what I'm going to do before my cash return option is up. The bios seems to be soldered onto the board, so there won't be any hot swapping the bios between boards to reflash that way. If I can't recover my bios with MSI's help options, and I will end up having to buy another board anyway, I'm not too sure that I will support this company anymore. EDIT: Bad Flash = Flashing stopped half way through and gave an error about a bad sector on the floppy disk (in my case).
