Did I kill the BIOS?

    I was just finishing up a fresh install on my son's laptop, had to download the drivers from Toshiba. Got a couple of drivers installed, and for whatever *****ic reason I flashed the BIOS. Now, mind you it went as smoothly as I expected but now, even though I've gone in BIOS and set defaults and saved, the darn thing won't go to Windows, instead it says it's loading but as soon as the desktop shows up there's a BSOD a flash of black and then right back to reboot again. Its a Toshiba Satellite, C655D-S5133. Please tell me it isn't over, please? I'd send a log if I could, sorry.

    Help!

    You need to make sure that the hard drive is set as the first or second boot device with the CDROM in the bios. If the computer still won't boot, you may have to attempt to re-install Windows fresh once more
