I installed a drive in a system. Then went to load the OS (Windows ME). Put in the ME boot disk and a message comes up "There is an exsisting OS system if you continue your BIOS will be erased and replaced with a basic BIOS" I went to hit cancel but I accidentally hit enter. The CPU will boots everything seems to work fine except for the video. There is only one setting (16 color) . Is there any way for me to retreive the old BIOS.
Here is the information after running Bios Agent:

The BIOS chip has a sticker on it that reads :

I peeled the sticker off and there is another sticker that reads :
5 # A CS= 8961
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
