>>Yes and no, respectively. It hangs right before the little white dots start appearing on the blue startup screen Well, it may be some corrupt files or even a corrupted nt kernel. Still, the coincidence with the bios flash leads me to suspect a bios-related disk problem of some sort. Anyhow, it HAS happened to me (though not from flashing the bios), and I had to reformat the disk to get around it. I don't actually recall if I could read the partition from another boot or not. Seems to me I took the disk to another PC and could copy stuff off it before reformatting, but thankfully I've mostly forgotten. One of those built-in psychological defense mechanism (forget pain, forget pain, ... <g>). Sorry you had to blow NT away to wake up this dead thread. Spots
