If you have a preflashed chip, then you just have to reset bios, and it should boot right up.

it is.. have a read.. it's one of those moronic "locked to various windoze" machines

http://komku.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-to-update-acer-bios.html

I can see a possible way round it... just depend how screwed it is.

::note:: the only way I found people have fixed a complete non start corrupt bios flash is by returning it to acer for motherboard replacement... great eh?

glad I saw this thread.. I will never buy one of these piles of junk!!!
