Does anyone try to flash "inspiron 530"'s bios over "vostro 400"? These two are supposed to have the same mb? Just to make sure...thanks!
Extract them to the root of your C:\ drive. Reboot your laptop in the usual manner, and press F4 at the POST screen (right after your laptop starts powering on). This will take you into the Asus Easy Flash menu. Locate the new ROM (G1SAS300_SLIC.ROM will be truncated to fit 8.3 naming conventions...) and flash it to your BIOS. Log into Windows 7 and start a command prompt with administrative privileges. Enter the following commands, where *****-*****-*****-*****-***** represents your product key: Code: cd \ slmgr -ilc HP.XRM-MS slmgr -ipk *****-*****-*****-*****-***** If all went well, your copy of Windows 7 Ultimate is now activated. You can verify your activation status with any of the following commands: Code: slmgr -dli slmgr -dlv slmgr -xpr Please be aware that a certain particular product key might turn back into a pumpkin at midnight, so be sure to ask your fairy godmother for a new one in October.
