I talked to him last night and we think they may be the same just one in .bin and one in .rom, but I didn't find the USB problem until tonight.

I'll be glad when I learn some of this stuff and i'm not such a pain in the arse LOL.

Hmmmm, just tried it again and nothing. Tried all kinds of different settings in the bios even to get the USB to boot and do something. No matter what I do all I ever get is that black screen with a blinking cursor. If I try to type anything it does one of two things... either goes into booting windows or just does nothing at all.

Crud, wish I could help Jeff, until I get around to this myself, I have no clue.

Yeah it's weird.... I prepared the USB stick just the way it says, did it again 2 more times just to make sure I didn't miss anything and all the files are on there. It just won't do anything but sit there with a blinking cursor... Maybe it's the board or something just isn't supported with this setup.

How long are you waiting when it's just blinky?

Sometimes I wait a little while and sometimes I just start trying to type in the commands...either way it just sit's there and blinks LOL.

Wonder if it would work from a floppy drive?

I'm wondering if you just gotta wait longer.

See..... that's one thing I don't know. Is it supposed to just pop something up or do I have to type the command in to start it running? But i've tried just letting it sit there and nothing happens.

I used a floppy as a boot disk once it boots into dos I then insert the disk with ATI flash and the bioses. It has not failed me yet. If I get a chance this weekend I will play around and let you know what I usually do.
