Friends, I was updating my BIOS & in middle i restarted my PC, now my system has Dead, only one beep sound comes and then it searches something in floppy drive. My system BIOS version was HW.27.08, if any one hav the same version BIOS pls mail me. PLs provide the solution. Eagerly Awaiting Thanx

When bios flashing goes bad sometimes there's no easy recovery. IF the bios chip is a plug-in type you may be able to get a replacement. Otherwise you may be up for a new motherboard. If you get a single beep that's not a bad sign and as for searching for something in floppy, put a bootdisk in and see what happens. I suspect however that you're not getting any display and the bios is fragged. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for life.

Did you reset the CMOS memory after flashing the BIOS? This is usually required if there are any major modifications done. Do you get anything on the monitor? If so, things are looking good. As Richard says, a single BEEP is good. You may need to re-detect you hard drives to get the computer to boot from there. Stuart

As a last resort, you might be able to get a replacement bios chip at one of the following sites. www.badflash.com www.flashbios.org www.mrbios.com:

Thanx To all of u for ur reply. My computer gives only one long beep, the screen is left blank and searches something in floppy drive. I hav read in an article that in this situation, create a boot disk and copy the BIOS Flash & Bin File in bootdisk + modify the autoexec.bat file. Also no space left to add file in Bootdisk. But i don't know the correct version of BIOS i was using. No Motherboard HandBook i hav. But My PC model is HP BRIO BA600. I searched in their site but only updated version has been given for download. Pls Reply now what to do?
