Hi Justin,

I was doing to do the same on my Raq3. But I installed the ROM manually.
Anyway, power it off and press & hold the E button. Power on and keep
pressing until you get the CMOS restored message on the display.
Now it should work again.
If not do the same as descriped above but with the S button. Select boot
from disk then and it will work.

Bye,

Tobias Appel
