MSI K8N NEO2 bios flash taking too long

[eva2000]

Hi guys I picked up a 2nd hand MSI K8N NEO2 locally it's a brand new RMA replacement the guy got. It came with bios v1.1.

I installed

3200+ winchester with TT Venus12
64MB Albatron MX480EL AGP card
1x 512MB Gskill PC4400LE (wouldn't boot with both sticks)
80GB WD 800JB
520W Topower Gold dual fan psu

Installed R1-PMC4 bios saviour. Then using bootable floppy went into DOS to flash the RD1 bios:

AWFL833D 136b.BIN

but it's flashing at Please wait! prompt for over 10 minutes now doing nothing ?

The RD1 bios was from P4C800-E, so normally i just flash over it.

Hey eva2000,

You try the bios recovery with bootable floppy (autoexec.bat w/flash command)?

Google it if interested, or ask...

Or use winflash. I had a neo2 die on me during a flash.

After that I tried out winflash - and it is very good.
