BIOS flash gone bad

    Hey guys

    I'm having some problems here. I recently decided to update the BIOS on my motherboard (yeah stupid I know) and I think I screwed up.

    First, I'll start off with the some specs:

    eVGA nForce 680i SLI - BIOS P32 (before update)
    e6600 @ 2.4Ghz

    Okay so I tried updating to the P33 update. I burned the .bin file on the CD and booted it up but then it gave me A:\ and a cursor.

    Above it was a screen saying this:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    AwardBIOS etc..
    (c) Phoenix etc..

    For blah blah etc..

    File Name to Program: nf68p33.bin

    Warning: Press 'Y' to program and 'N' to exit.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    I tried pressing Y and enter but nothing happened. So I tried this command:

    AWDFLASH nf68p33.bin /f

    This is the command to force flash the BIOS and since then it hasn't done anything. It just says not to turn off the power or reset the system.

    I'm a bit scared to restart the computer since there is a chance of having the mobo dead/friend. So any ideas that I can do? How do I recover from this?

    Thanks.
