My computer is an HPa1640n using a P5BW-LA mother board. I tried to update the bios but its hung during the process and I reboot my system after that I getting this screen and error message:

Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
Copyright (c) 2000, Award Software, Inc

BIOS ROM checksum error

Detedting IDE ATAPI device...
Found CDROM, try to Boot from it...Fail

Detedting floppy drive A media...
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESSS ENTER

Could some body help to fix this issue? I already tried to reset CMOS but nothing happen and I am still getting the same response.

You used this bios upgrade?

If so, contact HP technical support. You are going to need a floppy disk with the Award bios image file on it in order to fix this.
