Go to the Website and see if thay offer a manual method of BIOS flashing.

Upgrading a Bios is dangerous. I would `always' do it from DOS.

Just called Gigabyte Helpdesk. They say, we need the bios-chip reprogrammed, it costs 34 EUR. Nothing to do about, Iīm afraid. Iīve tried to copy some BIOS Images to a new Harddrive, it seeks for it, but it doesnīt load at all. Bad luck. And they say NOT to use the @bios tool. Isnīt this a good advice, to give us users the opportunity to flash under windows, and if somethings goes wrong, they say: hey, donīt use this tool.
