Was reinstalling winXP on netbook and winflash was the wrong driver to install

[Malinin]

I'm not totally sure I'm in the right forum, if I'm wrong please let me know where to turn if someone can help me with this.

 

I was reinstalling winXP on a compaq mini 110c 1011SO following instructions online which had worked great, then I started adding the drivers from HP's site to get the sound and everything going. Then I added something called winflash from the HP site, but I really shouldn't have done that.

It seems I've killed the computer.

 

It refuses to start when I press the on button. From what it seems when I google this I guess I killed the BIOS with that damn winflash. Gah, should have googled it before adding it, thought it was ok since I got it from the official HP site with the chipset and audio etc.

 

Does anyone know if I can reboot the bios somehow? I have no external CD/DVD. :-/

I got the netbook really cheaply so I'm not crying blood over this, but it was a handy little computer and I would very much like to have it back somehow.

 

 

I would very much appreciate any advice I can get on this.

Huh, after refusing to start at all for over an hour, just a black screen, it works again. Never mind this thread then.
