It sounds like it is trying to load a new BIOS image from the floppy disk drive. Some modern flash bios's have a hard coded routine in them to load a new BIOS from a floppy in the event of the main one being damaged. Find out who made the motherboard and go and have a look at their website to see if you can find out how their system works. Failing that have a look at AMI's website. You need to find out how to write the BIOS onto the floppy for the machine to understand it. Some write it raw to a disk, some use a DOS disk and call it BIOS.ROM etc. Good luck :) RP -- Author: Richard Purdie INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB CHIPDIR-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
