I used this method and it didn't work http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=188448


. I then put my trusty x800xt in and put the 3870x2 in the second slot cossfire slot. Then reflashed with winflash but I get zero pitcure until windows loads. can anyone give me some instruction on how to flash both gpus from a floppy.I did save the bios for core 1 are they the same or different.

Here are the BIOS you need.

Make sure you change the command line to specify which core you want winflash to flash.

ie. atiwinflash -f -p 0 (biosname).bin for core 1 and atiwinflash -f -p 1 (biosname).bin for core 2.

I've always done it from Windows in a DOS window.

Good luck!

I should be more specific for flashing from a DOS prompt.

Move your entire ATIFlash folder (that contains the BIOS you want to flash) to the root of the C: drive (or whatever your boot partition is). Open a command promt (Start menu>Run>cmd>ENTER.

Change your directory to point to Atiflash folder. (cd C:\atiwinflash <ENTER>
The use your command line (should look like this including the prompt):

C:\atiwinflash> atiwinflash -f -p 0 (biosname).bin

There you go!

*edit*

What do you mean "The files aren't there anymore?" I just linked them in my first post.
