Hi,

Just a quick update on my Bios update - I went ahead and managed to flash my bios.

It wasn't trouble free - the bios was updated successfully but my system wouldn't boot - there was an NTLDR problem and after I resolved that a long list of missing dll's and sys files that basically rendered troubleshooting virtually impossible. I tried booting from the XP disk and also Repairing but even that didn't work and most of Dos did not function.

Don't ask me why or how, I'm still scratching my head.

The good news is I have re-formated my hard drive and re-installed windows. Most of my data was backed up and in a way I'm happy to have a cleaner system.

Thank you to those who kindly offered their assistance. If anyone can shed any light on the resulting problems mentioned above I would be most interested to read them.

Hope this thred may be useful to others.

Thanks for the forum.
