Thanks, I did find one on setting up bootable media to flash the bios. My second issue is that the unit won't load the existing Bios and wont proceed using the F2, or other Fprompts. it's as if it freezes once the initial Bios screen loads and the completion bar on the load is barely at 25% - it will not go beyond this point. Even with both HD's disconnected and the nvram cleared. i have let it sit at the BIOS load screen for several hours to see if it would ever continue and it will not.
I believe i may have a system board problem, which is preventing the Bios/Post process from completing. If i can't get around this, then it quickly becomes a door stop. Any thoughts or ideas are very welcome!
