Hello. Help please. I have to reflash the bios video card ATI 4870 with a DOS utility Atiflash. Then, as it should be restarted comp, but he did not see the video card. I went again to the boot CD (there Dos installed). Launched again DOS, ran Atiflash to learn whether he sees the adapter, but after the team atiflash-i, I wrote a PC that he found the video card. In windsurfing It lets GPU-Z also found nothing.
I pierced card on another computer. There are 2 slots PCIe, so I'm stuck in a single slot card Nvidia and ATI 4870 in the other (the one that had to be flashed). Launched a drive prepared with DOS, Atiflash, old and new bios map. Before the firmware to check the adapter via the command Doce atiflash-i. After that flashed card with the number I was given. Rebooted. That's all. PC will not turn from this vidyuhi. Pull it it works again, install it again worth it. I then installed this card in another PC with built-in video card. Zavilas machine. I was delighted, but it is too early. I ran this drive starting with DOS and atiflash. Then, as before, decided to check what video cards it sees. But unfortunately he did not see anything. I ran Windows and there ran GPU-Z, but there was only one video card (which is built into the mother of Intel). Tried to run Atiwinflash, but because of it I hang Windows (Windows XP SP3). Immediately arises at all. Tried on another PC running Atiwinflash, and there is the same story (Windows 7). So that's a story. Can any more ideas will be. After all, can not be that it was impossible to rewrite the bios on the video card.

Wrote this:
atiflash-p-f 0 <newbios>
instead of zero've tried everything. All the time wrote "Adapter not found. ERROR 0FL01"

Thanks in advance for all the help.
Please help as restore the bios now.
