Checksum's normally say things like "no error" or "error"

Which did you have?

"=2600"

Gigabyte replied with -
Answer : Dear customer,
this message just tell current bios using checksum code 2600, please continue to complete flash update.

So, I'll "Continue" the update.

Thanks for your reply.

Sounds good! You can think of a CheckSum as the computer comparing the Sum of a series of numbers (bits) to what the maker of the BIOS pre-computed this Sum to be. So it's a very simple method of making sure that all the data survived the transfer.
