Hi, The last time I had a reply with 2 links for a bios but as there is no hard drive installed therefore no operating system and because I am unable to start the computer to install one it looks as though it is no a paperweight, Icannot see a way around this, have tried running it on a dics but while the disc runs nothing happens. Could I try just using a flash drive or does it need an operating system install, then which link do I install on the flash drive.I have a hard drive to install Thanks Dave
