So... I decided to flash to the latest BIOS on my Epox board using the windows utility as I don't have a floppy drive anywhere.

Appears to be ok at start up, checks HDs, RAM etc. then I get the mesage "Cannot find NTLDR file, press ctrl+alt+del to restart" which I presume means 1 of 2 things. The BIOS plain doesnt work or it was corrupted during installation.

What are my options? I guess I could either get a replacement BIOS chip from Epox, RMA the board if that is even possible because of a dodgey BIOS or somehow reflash to the older version which would require a Floppy drive?

It means its checking wrong hdd for windows, when you flas the bios you have to reset all the options to what you had before.

fiddle around in the bios and let it detect your hdd's and set it to boot from the one with windows on.
