While hotflashing, I accidentally flash my working system with the wrong bios file. When I try to recover by booting the computer with a bootable floppy, I got the following prompt:
Award BootBlock Bios V1.0
Bios ROM Checksum error
Detecting Floppy Drive A...
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
Here is the content of the Floppy: IO.SYS, COMMAND.COM, MSDOS.SYS, AWDFLASH.EXE, BEH_70.BIN
The questions are:
1- Why Can't I use the floppy to reflash the bios correctly?
2- Is there something wrong with the floppy? If so, how do I prepare correctly a valid system disk?
Thanks,
ABIT BE6-II Flashing Trouble

how was that floppy made bootable? by using the drdos flash disk image from http://www.bootdisk.com because that one should work at all times. I suspect you don't have a working board you can use to hotflash this chip with?
