Problem with BIOS flash for NF7-S V2

[PaulMTC]

Hi all,

I decided to flash the BIOS on my ABIT NF7-S V2 motherboard.

It was on 25 and I have updated to 27.

I did this using the “runme” option from floppy disk.

All went through with no errors reported.

When machine restarted I got checksum error so then powered down and reset the CMOS using jumper.

Now when I reboot, the PC tries to boot into Windows 98!!! when I have an XP PRO system. Needless to say it doesn’t complete and shuts itself down.

Does anyone have any ideas about where I have went wrong and possible suggestions?

My spec:

 ABIT NF7-S V2 motherboard
 Athlon 3200+
 2GB RAM (3 Sticks)
 Abit RX800-Guru RADEON X800 256-bit 256MB AGP8X (connects to PSU)
 1x160 GB HDD (SATA)
 1x40 GB HDD
 DVD/CD RW Combo

All replies greatly appreciated as I’m tearing my hair out.

Thanks,

Paul.

You didn't leave the floppy in the drive did you?

Can you get in the BIOS (yes) and look at the boot order?

Thinking...what sort of floppy (format) did you put the files on?
Not a windows 98 or ME boot floppy was it?
