Hi Kas Thanks for that however the system is "dead" very dead so will not boot from floppy or cd. It was while using the ASUS EZ Flash bios update facility <alt +f2> at boot that destroyed the bios. So as much as I would like to try the restore from cd or floppy I cant, unless you know a way to? Thanks have ordered a new bios chip from http://www.biosflash.co.uk/ Thanks anyway just wish someone would explain why fc1 installs to my sata drive but fc2 wont.
