    Unlucky man.

    You can buy new BIOS chips or you can rescue your old one by hot flashing it.

    You will need to borrow a BIOS chip the same as yours off someone.

    You can find a guide here.

    If ur board is like mine the bios is most likely soldered to the board which means ur screwed... Same thing happened to me... Twice!!!

    Does ur pc try to search ur floppy drive?? If so it should be possible to restore it... otherwise u need a new mobo.

    Out of the 5 mobos i've had over the past 6 months my two Asus ones r by far the best when it comes to flashing the bios, never had a single prob with them...

    I just use Abit's flash utility for mine. Easiest way of flashing ever.
