Problem Re-flashing bios.

[WiKiD]

While attmepting to reflash the BIOS on my Chaintech VNF3-250 i keep getting stuck at one point. I downloaded the bios and extracted it to a floppy. When the computer is booting i press Alt+F2 to start the reflash. It just says "Decompress "AWDFLASH.EXE" from BIOS, Please wait ..." and stays there. Anyone know what i am doing wrong here?

I dunno I have an abit boards with award bios and you have to inflate the file on disk before you actually can flash. go to chaintechs site I am sure they have instructions posted.

No dice from their site. The only instructions say to put the extracted file on the disk then reboot to reflash.

Ok, so i put the new bios and awdflash.exe on a disk and booted int eh command prompt. In the A directory i typed awdflash VN120A19.BIN it then goes to what appears to be the awdflash screen and just freezes again. I am beginning to think this mobo is just Fubar.
