My Motherboard is M2N68-LA (The Ivy Coloured one)
Some things it has on it

Motherboard has REV. 5.00 On it

Cannot find a S/N Anywhere on it.

I would like to be able to boot from a Usb Drive But I have no idea how to do it. I Cannot find a .bio file for it to put onto the usb drive

Can i pull the driver from the internal harddrive?

Can someone help me?
Can i help you help me?
UPDATE I pulled the harddrive from the computer put it into my other. Loaded it up and searched for bios files. Figuring the oldest ones would be the OEM Bios Files The ones that appeared were 3 of the bios1.rom and another 3 of bios4.rom All added same date Others being "hp.cpc.ehelp.Software_Driver_and_BIOS.H1S" Of various Sizes all located in diffrent file folders ANd one of each of these "x86_microsoft-windows-ntvdm-system32_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_fff8f2266fafa2e8_bios1.rom_265d2348" Both are in windows backup Folder "x86_microsoft-windows-ntvdm-system32_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_fff8f2266fafa2e8_bios4.rom_1dd00913"
Thanks.

Well clearing the bios should have done it. Why did you change it to boot to the USB first without a bios file to update? Sure you didn't try the bios update, went wrong and bricked it?

Yes im sure because i got to the Update screen for Windows. Had to reset Computer. And WEll now ITs stuck trying to boot off Usb drive
 
Sounds like it has been bricked.

Is there any display on the screen at all?

If it is bricked recovery is not simple. I have done it in the past, it involved hooking up the bios chip to 5 volts and connecting to a serial port on a 2nd pc to upload the correct firmware with a flash utility. Wasn't an easy process, also depends on whether the motherboard supports this.
