    What model mobo do u have in your computer?

    That means that your BIOS' Boot Block has been activated. This is probably due to a corrupted System Block checksum. Try the Award Boot Block BIOS recovery method.

    Have a read on the PDF below

    Step 1 (2) Make a DOS boot disk

    Did you make a DOS boot disk then copy the Flash Program and bios update to it?

    Try using another Floppy Disk. Format it with system files (should have autoexec.bat on it) then copy the flash program and bin file onto it. Put the floppy disk in the computer and restart. It should then bring up the C:\>.... Correct?
    -What OS are you using ?

    Ok, you should have the DOS Boot disk, that contains the System Files (Which are hidden)then awd822a.exe (Flash Utlity) then bapa11b.bin (Bios Update).

    ok at the A:\> type
    A:\>awd882a bapa11b.bin

    Then agree, when it says do you want to continue.
