| Ultimate x64 SP1 and XP Pro SP3 | Re: vista wont boot after bios flash Ok...perhaps this is a dumb question.. but is your HD showing in the Bios? as a bootable drive? Just a thought.. as mine didn't appear and I had to get it showing as a bootable drive... |

| Vista Business/Home Premium/Ultimate x64/Server 2008 X64 | Re: vista wont boot after bios flash You can try and flash the bios again and maybe that will repair whatever when wrong in the first place. You can also try reseting your MB. Sometimes removing the battery will free up whatever is locked. Or you could try and get a copy of your original bios from DFI and re-flash with that. If all that fails you'll need a RMA and return your MB for a replacement. Good luck. |
