scroggs,

You can go to Bad Flash and have them send you a new EPROM with your BIOS on it. You could also contact Gigabyte and see if they will send you one.

There is one other way. If you have an identical Motherboard, you can boot it up into the BIOS, then pull the good chip out and put your yours with the bad flash in its place, hit Exit and Save that will write the BIOS to your chip.

Personally I would get away from VIA and get an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe. The ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe is an excellent motherboard with:
  • SATA RAID
  • Dolby Digital SoundStorm
  • USB 2.0
  • Firewire
  • Dual Gigabit LAN
  • WiFi@Home

Take Care,

Richard
