i managed to find an actual floppy drive and a floppy cable... but i can't find a floppy DISK... nor do i have another system i can actually WRITE a floppy with...

gonna attempt to locate a USB floppy drive and disk at work tomorrow... but if i can't find one, do any of you guys have a disk and the means to write to said disk? if so, i'd love you forever if you could write awdflash/my bios bindump to a bootable disk for me...



thx

I performed the same SNAFU with a USB drive two months ago... nice $101 mistake there

nah, has to be a floppy

i'm at the bootblock screen where all it will do is perpetually look for a floppy that has a BIN file on it

found one at work though (after asking 10 different people, haha)

RIP bios

I thought all modern motherboard were flashing from USB now. What are you using?

6/30/2009 1:38:02 PM

do i have to explain this again lol

i was flashing from a usb drive... something happened during the flash that caused my bios to be all fubar... when it rebooted, it threw me into the bios bootloader code that just sits there and tries to read a BIN file from the floppy drive in an attempt to recover the bios.

so that's why i need a floppy
