Used a 128g drive and it worked.. its updating right now.

Hi, so i had a x299 mobo with i7 7800x and swapped with with a b450 and a 3600, well i had it swapped and they told me it wouldnt boot andn asked if i wanted them to install windows and everything else.
Well i made back ups before this cause i knew there could be problems so i told them no.I took it home plugged everything in , even a usb with windows but didnt boot from it, windows just started and i had everything apart from my
raid 0 drives so i cheked disk manager and saw that ony 1 disk was being read. I took my pc panel off and saw that a cable got dettached so i out it back and now it wouldnt boot, it wouldnt even show bios.

I was used to my old mobo whoch had 2 buttons on the back, one of them reset the bios to its default and usually that did it when my pc wouldnt boot, well this mobo doesnt have that but i put my hand back there and i pressed the flash bios button. I was thinking i could remove the cable again and clean one drive at a time then restore them( the ones in raid 0 ) but now i cant do anything i have white and red LEDson my mobo and i dont know how to cancel the bios update so i downloaded the latest bios update renames it to MSI.ROM put it on a 32gb usb freshly formated to fat32 put it in the slot for bios update and pressed the button again. Nothinng happened , a red light flashed twice when i put the usb in and thats it.Does anyone know how to cancel this?Thanks!

 

Edit: wanted to add that in the manual it says the light should keep flashing and when its done all LEDs will automatically stop

 

Edit 2: PC on or off i press the button withusb inside to update bios and a red light just flashes 3 times on both occasions

Yes like i mentioned MSI.ROM

did you extract it before renaming it? It comes as a zip file, that's what I want to confirm
