Boot Failure

[SpellowHouse]

I have an Asus motherboard here, and I just updated the BIOS.
Unfortunately, when I boot the PC now, it returns to the BIOS without booting the drive. I can manually select to boot the drive but it won't do it automatically, despite being the selected BOOT drive.
I sort of get the idea this is a Secure Boot issue? Dunno. I have never seen this problem before. It just won't boot automatically.
Is there any way to recover this situation other than taking the boot drive out, wiping it, and starting again?

Oh , it's OK. I ran the BIOS programming tool again and this time it worked. I think it was some of the post processing by the BIOS utility that failed and did something weird.

Ah, OK, rambling to myself, it's supposed to do that. I didn't read the instructions. I should have continued the BIOS software the second time instead of wondering what was going on. It was pure luck that I actually did the right thing. In my defence, the instructions were a little obscure. Had I know I was supposed to do something after the first boot I would have panicked. It seems that attempting the update again was exactly the right thing to do.

What happens is that the BIOS needs to run two updates when it updates itself. You go in to the BIOS, select the new BIOS on the USB stick, and it updates. It then reboots and goes back in to the BIOS for the second update. What confused me is that you need to select the same file on the USB stick again, and run the update for a second time. This completes the process by running the second update. If you don't run the second one, then it just boots to the BIOS every time.
