i own a 8pe667ultra matherboard.i updated the bios with the bin file of
8pe667pro.
now i cannot update tha mobo with th correct file.it gives me the message
that the sizeof the bin file is not correct.
how can i update my mobo with the correct bios ?is it reversable?or must i
search for a new mobo?

Copy the backup BIOS (Gigabyte has 2 BIOS) to the main BIOS then try again.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

if you havent update the backup bios with this wrong bios, then you
should be able to copy the backup bios to the original bios, without
the use of any file. This is an option after you press del and enter
bios(you have to boot with the backup bios first, see you mobo manual
for any jumber that force the backup bios), then update bios(F10 i
think, depends on the mobo) and there you have it.
But if you somehow copy the wrong bios to the backup bios also, then
your only hope is to remove at least one of the eeprom chips, buy an
eeprom programmer(hard to find in greece) and use this programmer with
another healthy pc to reprogram the eeprom chips of your mobo.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
