I can't load my old BIOS to X1800GTO

[Newmonarch]

Hi!

I have got 256 Mb Sapphire X1800 Gto Pci-Express video card. Yesterday I flashed X1800XT bios to my card, and it isnt work now...

So I want to load old bios, I bought Pci card and opened the system with both ( Pci card and Pci-Express ), in the windows I can see my X1800 Gto with Everest Ultimate edition, but in the dos, especially atiflash cannot see it. When I prompt "atiflash -i" it says "No Ati Adapter Found" . Because of this problem , I cannot flash old bios. What can I do for it? I have to run this card again because I dont have much money to buy a new card.

Since the firmware is possiby corrupted, it wouldn't be recognizable so flashing with Windows is out. Try the force switch in real-mode DOS (you're booting to a floppy or bootable CD right?). Command line should like:

atiflash.exe -f -p 0 bios.rom

BTW did you try a 256Meg or 512Meg XT BIOS?
