Hello.
Sorry for my stupidity, and my english, i don't speak very well.
Today, i tryed to update the bios of my computer. I used flashrom. I 've probably made a mistake and now i got an error message.
My computer is the MP945-X The bios version i used is R1.14 and the release date is 4/25/2007
I followed this page : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/flasher_le_bios I download the latest version of the bios located on the Aopen download website. http://download.aopen.com.tw/userdownload_List.aspx?RecNo=11314&Model=22...
I unzip the wiab1e.zip and i used the file named IAB1E.BIN (i don't use the two other .exe files) After the first error message, i tried to return to the inital bios (i've got two backup, called* *backup.bin and A7Tversion.ROM) I put the file i used attached to this mail.
I 've typed those commands :
