Did you already try to use a usb flash drive ? you can also try to burn the bios files + (flash) tools to a cd-rw and make it bootable.
yes, i tryed a usb stick. notebook read from stick (press fn+esc), but then 4x short beep and nothing hapenend...
What did you put on the USB? My suggestion would be to use a tool to format the USB drive, make it bootable, throw a ->CLEAN<- BIOS on it as well as the flashing utilities. Try to get the original BIOS working again, then when you do, repeat the steps with the modded BIOS.
Rename the clean bios always to BIOS.WPH. And try using different versions of the flash tool, because not all are working (phlash16 versions). Here a successful long story by ausdim with link to recovery files...: http://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/90337
