Hmm, more clues.

I went back and took a look the files that geishaslave linked to. In the extract directory are several files (AUTOEXEC.BAT, the iFlash utility, BIO files, etc.)

Perhaps the most important file on the disk is a *.BBO file. This file contains the all-important boot block for the recovery process. Most peculiar is that NONE of the BIOS of downloaded from Intel's site include a BBO file for the D845xxx boards! NONE of those BIOS updates includes the file.

So, I think I've figured out why the recovery update is failing. But I'm no better off, as I can't seem to find that crucial *.BBO file.

I have to say, that even though this is extermely frustrating, I've learned more about PC BIOS than I thought I'd learn in the last few days.

Any thoughts?
