I was doing a bios update yesterday, but then I accidentally restarted, so then the BIOS was corrupted. I was updating it in Windows. My motherboard is a BIOSTAR 945GZ Micro775. So now, it says BIOS Checksum Error, and System is halted, but before it halts, it checks the floppy drive.
I have not dried using the Floppy drive, since I have no floppy yet, but do you think my motherboard is over? How does the floppy thing work? Do I put the BIOS file inside the floppy and then put it in the drive. Would this automatically fix it?
or...is the motherboard a goner and I need to get a new one?
If it is a goner and you guys think so, then:

I was debating on these 3 micro-atx motherboards. They seem to have fair and easy overclocking abilities, and I needed the RAID and dual memory channels. A lot of the cheapers do not have both RAID and dual channels. My Biostar micro-atx motherboard, does not have RAID and thus, I thought updating BIOS would do it, but I was wrong.. It was because I kept updating it back and forward that got me confused.
Which motherboard would you choose, if the BIOS and that motherboard cannot be fixed. If you have other suggestions, I will hear you out too. I really need them to support Pentium D! Since I do not wish to upgrade the CPU yet. The websites say they do, but newegg.com does not say that. I just want to double check, make sure that it will work with that CPU.
I will be leaving soon, so if I do buy it, I need it to come by Tuesday and fix it that night. Thanks guys!
