[Help] Bios update failure

[netsonic]

Motherboard: Abit ip35 Pro

when I update bios from 1.1 to 1.8 under Windows (I don't have floppy drive), it freezed at 30% update progress

after reboot, the screen shows
-----------------------------------------
Award Bootblock Bios 1.0

Bios Rom Check Sum Error
Keyboard error or no keyboard

Detecting Floppy Driver A Media
Drive A error, system halt
-----------------------------------------

I know something is wrong with Bios, How to fix it?

Many thanks.

fit a floppy drive and flash it or maybe buy new bois from ebay/net

I update from Bios v1.1 to v1.8

If I buy bios from ebay, do I still need to flash using floppy drive?

As said, I had the same problem, downloaded a different version BIOS from another PC and fitted a floppy drive, updated the BIOS and all was fine.

if you buy a new bios chip from ebay you will not have to flash it again although check with the seller to make sure it comes with the bios you want on it

you need a floppy though to recover the existing BIOS

options
flash existing BIOS chip on another system
buy new preflashed BIOS chip

Buff's link above explains how to recover it.

If you can't do it, I can probably re-flash it for you for a donation to charity.

I still owe Agent about three lungs and a kidney, the amount of times he's reflashed my BIOS chips for me. Still don't know how I killed so many... just lucky I guess.
