ca810 motherboard & Bios driver update needed

[wildlilly]

Hi my kids have a 500mhz intel celeron with a ca810 motherboard. Although im pretty computer savvy i got a friend to fdisk as i wasnt sure about partitioning.I normally just do a straight format....When the fdisk was done it seems all the MBA (master boot records) were wiped as was the partitions and they were freshy partitioned. Now when the computer starts i have the old bios showing. I have to hit f2 instead of delete to enter bios i am also now not getting all the computer information on startup and also when i shutdown i dont get the message it is now safe to turn off your computer. Althought it still shuts off and starts fine. I have been to intel and downloaded a bios update but it still hasnt given me the newer version of the bios the file from intel was a caa12bi but id like a later one if anyone can help id really apreciate it.....I hope the folowing is enough information..........Its running ME but i can reformat to win98se if that will help.....Its running fine but id still like it to have all start up info and shutdown message....Thanks in advance......
