This mobo has no floppy ony USB devices. Tried normal and boot block recovery. Any tips specific to this mobo ? It is a very small mobo and has the 1-2-3 CLR cmos pins. I used a DVD iso to attempt the recovery. No dice. the unit just beeps 2-5-1 short beeps over and over. Never completes...Hmmm. This happended on 7 out of 9 computers. Two work no problem. All were flashed the same way. I cannot believe this eben happended. Any recovery hints or tips from someone else that may have have some luck with the Lenovos? :(

Latest update is this bios will seek the CD drive looking for but not FINDING the AMIBOOT.ROM file. Is this possibly due to the CD format ? If I create a bootable CD that looks like a floppy would that do it ? Seems like eveyone else on here has no ideas either... :(
