im running a gigabyte ga-8ie533 mother board, i was in the middle of an important project when my screen just went blank, i hit the reset button to be greeted with

Code:

 Detecting IDE Devices
Primary Master: NONE
Primary Slave: NONE
Secondary Master: NONE
Secondary Slave: NONE

i have two HDD's and a Dvd drive, could anyone
1. tell me where to get a bios image, or better yet, send their own to Person_1873@hotmail.com
and
2. how to make a bootable bios flash floppy

Well, googled http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/M...ProductID=1393. Whenever I've done a BIOS upgrade, the download contained instructions and/or was an zip that created an exe.
