Right, I'm back up and running again

Turned out that when I tried to hot-flash in the AV8 board, awdflash wouldn't do it. I read somewhere that on the nforce2 boards, you're better off using awdflash8.22 whereas I had 8.23k on my floppy.

Doing some searching on the web, the AV8 is too recent for awdflash 8.23 to work.

Downloaded the latest one, tried flashing using the -tiny switch and it worked a charm.

Came back home, popped the BIOS chip back in the NF7-S board.

Never had a POST beep reassure me soo much.

Thanks a lot for your help guys
