Wow Darque,

That's a little harsh. Personally, I wouldn't take advice from someone who has had 25% of their BIOS flashes end in failure either.

I've flashed from USB, CF card, CD, DVD, floppy, Windows, DOS, etc. I've modded BIOS menus, stripped and replaced VGA and PCI bios code on the main BIOS image, even flashed directly to PCI devices. I've even hacked and flashed embedded hardware. I've never had a BIOS flash fail so badly that it was unrecoverable.

This should be a simple fix.
1) Use Darque's idea and make a CD that boots to DOS.
2) or, Read some of the guides on making a USB memory stick bootable.
3) Make sure that your bootable media contains "awdflash.exe" and "677151.BIN".
4) When you have booted into DOS, type "awdflash 677171.BIN".
5) Follow the prompts, and wait till it's done.
6) When it tells you it's done, turn the computer off.

Simple as pie.
