The system seems to be bypassing the bios (which is Award BTW). As soon as I start the machine, with a system disk in it comes up with "Detecting floppy drive A media" and runs off what's on the A drive until the C prompt. I can#t get any CD-Rom drivers to work on it. I tried taking out the CMOS jumper and putting it back on the board to no avail.
I've never ever tried a BIOS Flash before, so would not try it. (Saying that, where do I get the motherboard settings friom to make the file in the first place?) With the 2 sounds coming up and all the literature/websites I've read saying nothing about that error, I'm thinking of giving the motherboard up for dead.
Any more suggestions? (Many were useful, so thank's for your help so far.)
