Hi every1, I am using an MSI K9AG Neo2 Digital 690G chipsset mobo. Recently I hav triedtoupdate thebiosto 1.8. I have been updaing this mobos bios since 1.4 with a USB Disk Pro which act like a floppy drive and a pendrive altogether. But the last time It was updated directly from windows. And when it was ReBooted it is not working anymore . When I boot the PC The display shows nothing, no POST and the green led is on. Is there any way that I can restore or Re-Flash the BIOS? I am posting this message using my old Celeron 1.1 GHz with no HDD and Live Ubuntu. Plz help me if you can.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Bad BIOS update!!
So you did the online update with MSI Live or whatever?
Re: Bad BIOS update!!
Yes and directly updated from windows.
Re: Bad BIOS update!!
did you try the bios recovery procedure?
BIOS flash failed during BIOS update Try BIOS recovery for AMI or Award BIOS
AMI BIOS recovery procedure
• Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A6712VMS.190 to AMIBOOT.ROM
• Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
• When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
Award BIOS recovery procedure
• Make a bootable floppy disk
• Copy the Award flash utility files & bios file to the bootable floppy diskette
• Open Notepad and put the following command line e.g. awdfl826B w6777NMS.140 than save to the floppy drive and name as Autoexec.bat
• Restart system with the floppy diskette that contains the Award utility & bios file (it will take less than 2 minutes before screen comes out)

I will try the above method. Thanks a lot for the Recovery Procedure and your efforts to help me.
