Bad flashes happen. As stated, it's usually a bad idea to flash within windows.

You could try to reset the CMOS. You'll have to find a disassembly manual and open it up to the battery or reset switch. Sometimes that gets it back to booting.

You could always buy a preprogrammed chip, IF you have a socket-style BIOS chip. If you can pull it, you can swap it. The chip is probably 25 bucks, I know who to get one from and can give you his email address, but first you have to see if you have a socket-style BIOS interface.

Also, if it's worth the shipping for you, and it happens to be mounted through the PCB with pins (not surface mount) then I can remove the old chip and put in a new one. You just have to pay shipping and buy the new chip.
