    Re: getting bios error on starting windows

    Seems that your friend has tried to flash the BIOS (most probably). Because this bios error gets generated when you flash unsuccessfully. If he has tried a BIOS revision and it was unsuccessful, then there could be some corruption in the bootblock or bootloader in the BIOS program ... although it definitely looks like it is going through the proper routine.
