borrow an usb floppy drive and reflash the bios is probably the best option.

and other thing, where can i found a crisis disk to start with? maybe on monday i can have a USB floppy unit.

sorry, i just responded to ur "There some jumper to reset the bios?" statement, - should be adding "do not know about the existance of any jumper but ".."playing with bios reset jumper is pretty chancy"

Hello,

try this it was worked for me!

The second one my anwser!

This link is get the boot disk.(on the right corner the small link)

Change the bios file with good bios(the old one) and boot the system with USB external FDD(argos £25, ebay £12 5days delivery) and wait for automatic restart and the miracle is going to be happen!!!

Cheers!
