my friend tried to upgrade his controller bios, but it was extremely slow during the process so he thought something was wrong and turned off the computer. after he re-start, the controller couldn't be seen in the POST. he later tried to flash back the rom bios since it was backup before flash, but still no use (kept saying the ROM BIOS is invalid). after he took out the card, it was an Adaptec OEM (version 2.57.1) that seems pulled from a Compaq server. however, the controller still works under Windows. is there any way that it can be restored? he gave me the card now and if there is no chance, i will just sell the card for him on ebay to get some money back at least. i've tried to find the bios file on Compaq's website, but i don't think that helps and he couldn't get support nor replace from Compaq either. anyone? thanks a lot.
