Bios Flash on KT400

Hello

I was given this computer running Windows 2000. When it boots up its
all in German, and Cmos is German. Once in Windows fine. Anything
outside windows is foreign. My usual Win98 boot transforms into German.
I did manage to run the Bios Flash from Dos. That was successful;
however, the langague didn't change into English. A tech fellow from
the company said that if it was bought in Europe that it was impossible
to fix it into English. The problem is in dos as I type the letters
alter. Thus if I type winnt it alters to redumel or if i type setup it
splashes out sltup. If there absolutely nothing that can be done to fix
this?

Thanks

Learn German...!

Could you not drop another HDD drive in just to see if it boot's..?
Obviously if you do this you won't have the right drivers for the
mobo , we just need to see if it boots or at least recognised in the
bios...if so then you could try formatting a un-used HDD. Don't
forget the HDD needs to be set on the linking pins for Master, Raid
or whatever.

You could try and check and see if you can flash the bios for the
language of your choice, try looking at their website or dropping
them an E-mail.

It's a good question because...would it work if the Bios was in German
and you reformatted the HDD to whatever language you choose...?

I say an un-used HDD here because if it doesn't work you could
always.........learn German.
