Help!!
I have a PC Chips M/B M559. I am running Win95. I had trouble getting it to recognise my CD-ROM. I decided that since the board was approx 8 yrs old, that I would do a bios flash. I went to PCChips website and downloaded the appropriate rom file. 0404s-13.rom. I used the amiflash program 6.31. After flashing, I drained my CMOS with the jumper, and booted up and set up my BIOS and saved the settings. I noticed that the new bios version showing on my screen was 0403 instead of 0404. It also advised me that my FDC failed, and to press F-1. Once I do that, it boots from the hard drive. I cannot get into my system from the floppy now. I put in a new battery, but it did not change anything. I am going to disable my floppy detection in the bios, and try using an ISA board to run the floppy and see what happens. If anyone has any ideas as to what is wrong, I would appreciate any & all input. thanks.
