Hi,
I was having various issues and a bios update was suggested. I downloaded the latest for my motherboard Asus P8P67le and unzipped it to a flash drive. Rebooted to bios, opened the update utility, saw a list of all my drives (important for later), selected the flash drive, and the bios update file. Update seemed to go fine and it asked me to reset.
Upon reset I got no POST, just straight back to the bios update tool with the error "Reading Failed!" displayed. I was able to navigate using keyboard but moving mouse brought up the error again (see http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3066723/enter-bios-cmos-reset.html for further info).
Where my case differs from the above is that I now only see 1 partition in the bios update tool (not the one that has the bus update). All other partitions including all flash drives are missing.
I then did a cmos reset (both methods, battery out and jumper short). Upon boot I got a POST screen identifying some drives, ram, USB devices (got my hopes up here). It asked me to hit x to get into bios so I did and viola....... Back to the update utility and Reading Failed! And still only seeing 1 partition (I don't have another machine handy to use to move the bios update to this partition.)
Tearing my hair out a bit here. No idea how to proceed other than buying new gear which I am loathe to do.
Any tips appreciated!
Cheers
