No, you will have to use NVFlash 5.67 for NVIDIA Windows bios flashing.

but anyways...i was PM`ed and here i am

i`ve flashed with Winflash before (a LOT of times) and it always worked...but then again...i never had a bricked card before

you could try it with winflash, or maybe try some other bios`es from techpowerup.

also...i tried another program as well...RBE, so i could edit my bios, and that also uses winflash for the flashing...works excelent as well...so i don`t see why every one is so anti-winflash

I emailed the tech support guy at Diamond and he said he would make me a bootable floppy image and make it automated, so hopefully that will do the trick. I'll make sure to keep the image just in case anybody else needs it. I'm sure it can be modified to flash any ati bios needed by altering the .bat file on the disk and replacing it with the bios you're wanting to flash.

People are anti-winflash because it has a much higher failure rate then dos flashing. This is true with motherbaord bios flashing.

I believe the "Cannot Run in DOS" message is because that's the WINFlash utility not a DOS flash util.. Maybe I'm mistaken but if you put the same .exe you were running on the DOS flash drive that's why.
