Recovery disk for Emachine T5642
In general, you have to order recovery disks from the manufacturer of the machine.
In your case
eMachines Store eRecovery is where you can order it, or you can initiate a discussion with tech support.
Also, many machines give you the option to burn your own recovery media when you first set it up. Most people skip this step. You should do this before you have problems. Search your machine for the word Recovery and see if you have an installer routine there.

Flashing the bios is a last-ditch move. What happened before that?
Did it work before you flashed it? If the unit is interrupted during clash, or if it is the wrong bios, your goose could be cooked.

There may be something you can use, especially if you have a floppy drive (a real one, not a usb-one).
You maybe can use flash drive in the usb port, but that's a long shot.
Good luck with that. I'd be looking at a new motherboard. They can be had pretty cheaply.
Problem getting recovery disk
I understand that you want to reinstall the Operating System on the computer.
Select models have the ability to have the operating system reinstalled from a hidden drive built into the computer. To start the system recovery:- Restart the computer
- When the eMachines logo appears on the screen, press the Alt and F10 keys repeatedly.
- When prompted with a boot screen, hit the Enter key.
- After the system recovery program has loaded, follow the prompts to reinstall the operating system.
If the ability to reinstall from the previous method is not available or fails during the recovery, recovery of the operating system will need to be from
Recovery Media.
- Insert the disk labeled System CD into the computer's disk drive and restart the computer.
- When the eMachines logo appears on the screen, press the F12 key repeatedly.
- Select either CDROM or DVD as the boot device, this may vary depending on the system.
- When prompted for the Recovery CD, remove the System CD and insert the Recovery CD.
Note: If there are multiple Recovery CDs, please insert the first Recovery CD.- After the system recovery program has loaded follow the prompts to reinstall the operating system.
Refer the URL for more information and for the link to order the Recovery media if required.
