To get a quick help, you need to provide a correct product number of your notebook.
go-235dx is not the correct one.

Sorry for late replay, hopefully you have found the correct answer.
I found two platform name for your model G60,that are 3612 and 3617.
Since you have G60 with 200 series my best guess is 3617.
Try to rename your BIOS to 3617.bin and do BIOS recovery procedure.
Better use smaller size of thumb drive with FAT16.
Good luck
