Apparently that BIOS creates an image of itself in hidden sectors on the hard drive. If the BIOS fails then it looks for this image to load from to recover itself, which in this case it obviously can't find. Have you tried taking the battery out and leaving it 10mins before putting it back in to reset the BIOS? That *might* sort it.

I've tried almost everthing, the last step before RMA is taking the HDD to a friend of mine with the same motherboard, installing windows on new FAT32 partition, installing Xpress recovery and then puting the HDD back in my PC. If that doesn't sort it out I don't know what will.
I've fixed the problem using the method described above. Also copied the bios on the new partition
