AFAIK, BIOS recovery looks for a specific file name, sitting
at the root level of the CD. You could just put a BIOS file
on a CD, and that would function as your recovery CD. The
trick, is to make sure the file has the right name.

My motherboard CD, apparently is used for more than one
motherboard box. And at the root level, there are a bunch
of BIOS files, for different motherboards. So if you can
find someone with the right CD, then they'd probably have
a bunch of different BIOS files at the root level. Only
the one file would be important to the flashing tool.

My motherboard is a P4C800-E, and at the root level of
the CD, I see this file. The revision of this is probably
pretty crusty. For some people, their processor may no
longer be recognized, after they flash back to whatever
is on that CD. So it pays to understand what you're getting,
by reaching for the motherboard CD.

P4C800E.rom

Always go to support.asus.com download page for your board,
and click the BIOS tab, and read any warnings about flashing
method. Some methods are known to corrupt the BIOS, so you
want to read all of those warnings, before choosing a flash
method. They may not repeat the same warnings for all the BIOS
releases listed, but the warnings may still be in effect.

There was at least one motherboard, where if the user took
their brand new motherboard, and used the file at the root
level of their motherboard CD, the result was a guaranteed
bricked motherboard. Proving once again, how important
quality control is :-(
