You could try the Uniflash flasher, free from http://www.pppr.sk/rainbow/programs.html#UniFlash - and check that the BIOS is not protected by a CMOS setting.

thanks for ur quik respond again
I meant :
1. If you can get into the CMOS setup, is there a setting which prevents/allows the BIOS Flash ?
2. Some versions of some flash utilities get confused about the type of flash so try a different utility e.g. Uniflash.

Can you give us more information about the manufacturer and model of the motherboard ?
A long shot:
Is there any BIOS ID or OEM message ?
e.g. "02/23/1999-692-596-8671-2A6LGB09C-00" or "VBE0226B" ?
(I don't think there will be if you are working with the bootblock BIOS.)

Can you get into the CMOS setup ?
Did you try Uniflash, or a different version of AWD flasher ?
I have to travel home now, I will log on later to see how you are getting on. I cannot download from the FIC site at the moment.
