digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 Hi I wonder what would happen if I continue to flash a new BIOS even if I get a BIOS ID error message?? Im 100% sure that I have the right BIOS for the board!! Make sure to obtain the BIOS upgrade software from a reliable source. Downloading a BIOS from sources other than the manufacturer's web site is risky. For example, versions from the same BIOS software developer for one manufacturer's motherboard may not work on a different manufacturer's motherboard. Using the wrong BIOS or version might "brick" the board, thereby requiring either a BIOS replacement or reprogramming of the BIOS by the manufacturer and rendering the computer unable to boot until that is done. from http://www.wikihow.com/Update-Your-Computer's-BIOS You can see http://www.bioscentral.com/ which has list of error codes too.

gmkarthikeyhan 2 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 I recently bought a netpc which boots from network and didn't had any hdd's. I want to install OS but the BIOS is restricted and can't boot from neither CDRom nor HDD.So I decided to flash the BIOS with Intel's 945GCLF BIOS.But it gives "BIOS ID's don't match" error. Is there any way to mod Intel 945GCLF BIOS ID so that I can flash netpc? motherboard: Intel D945GCLF NetPC BIOS ID: LF94510J.64T.0000.2009.0123.1105 Intel BIOS ID: LF94510J.86A.0278.2010.0414.2000 Techies HELP....
