Two things come to mind:

1) There may be a jumper or DIP-switch you have to set to allow BIOS update.

2) You may need a certain version of AMI's flashing program.

what is a jumper or DIP-switch and where would it be at and go here and you can the manual for my motherboard
and look for Pentium Motherboard (Socket 7) 599lmr

I don't see anything in the manual indicating a jumper controlling bios updates. You could try resetting the cmos (see page 12 of the manual).

It is also possible that your board is too old to support flashing. Older boards came with bios installed on replacable chips. If you needed to update the bios, you had to replace the chip.

it was my new hard drive because the bios want support 7200rpm hard drive

[TripleRLtd]

What do you mean the bios won't support 7200 rpm drives?
That is wrong! A bios does not know how fast a hard drive spins, nor does it care, it only cares about
how large it is, or if it is recognizable. So, what do you mean?
