But it shouldn't take 15 minutes plus to transfer BIOS data from the HDD unless the chip is damaged, should it? I don't know if this is even possible, but thinking back to when i first pressed reset, i did it slowly and not to the point where the button clicked. Could the system have reset itself dozens of times in that instant and damaged the hardware in the process? I can't think of any other reason why the chip was working one minute and fried the next.[/QUOTE]Ok, I should have done a bit more research...
I recognised that motherboard and thought that it had Dual BIOS, but it doesn't. So if your BIOS chip did indeed fry, it is long gone.
And yes, a BIOS upgrade in a board that old will generally take a little while. And if the process is interupted, then its long gone
