Hi all.

I tried flashing my new { now screwed} Epox 8RDA+ to a new beta bios. Well the flash went Ok but the next reboot gives me
"Award BootBlock Bios"

with

"Check sum Error"

I tried to use a startup to get to dos prompt to flash from but it Aborts, saying it "can't find any drives"

I also tried putting the bios bin file, the awardflash program and an Autoexec.bat with the line "awdflash bionname.bin /py /sn /cc /cp /R"

But I get nothing. It just skips everything and beeps. No flash.
Any way to fix this? I tried clearing the bios many times and taking the battery out already.

Maybe my auto flash procedure is flawed?
