where can i find the original ami bios for the mobo ga-6wmm7 rev 2.0 ?
and how can i flash it.
When power on, i can hear the floppy trying to read something with one
bip, but when i put in a floppy it beep twice.

A little information
You just flashed your bios and now you have a problem?

You did use the correct bios?

Did your computer boot correctly right after the flash to Windows.
Just a normal boot forgetting about the floppy.

Why are you booting off of a floppy now?

Yes I think so. This is the version for the Houston from the site
Packard bell. After flash and the 5 beeps the system reboots without a
the floppy inserted. I could hear the floppy rattling.
I had the same problem after flashing a K7S5A mainboard from Elite.
With a ami bios as well. The only solution i found is to reflash the
board with an older bios. And it has been working.
I think the bios on the packard bell site are maybe not the good ones.
Therefore I'm searching for the original bios.
I have a second motherboard but it is faulty. As the bios chip is
solded on it I can use it to come back to my previous bios.

Some gigabyte motherboards have a back up bios
When booting I think it is the delele key
Not the f2

They a couple of different Houston motherboards
3 3+ 4
Which one did you have
You used your seial number of course to locate the bios


There is also a jumper for recovery that uses basic info so the floppy
works.

You can also flash from a CDROM

You just need the OEM first version bios
It is not on the master cd if such exists

I found on a site the different lay-out of the motherboard.
I've the houston 3+R and not the 3+. I think the problem is there.

I have noted I've the same in my attick so I will try to copy the bios
from it, save it to bootrom.ami or so and try to flash my first one.

I was wrong when I said that I've another unservicable (this one was a
P4 based mobo from GA)

Thank you for your help.
I have succeeded to get the content of the bios from a second mobo with
the amiflash /Samiboot. I renamed it to amiboot.rom and copied it on a
floppy then I inserted it into my rattling workstation. It has been
working and bringing the bios to the version 2.0G. I downloaded the
latest biosversion 2.0Q and intall it : no problem at all.
Version 2.0G recognize the celeron as a pentium 3 while the version Q
as a celeron.

You have proved one thing
A bad flash is recoverable

This is true very often
I have purchased bad flashed boards at a discount many times
It is easier of course when the flash chip is removable

back to ebay
