Not sure if this is the right place for this problem, but can't find answer anywhere after couple days searching, so here goes: Successfully (I think) modded HP MCP61PM-HM BIOS v5.27 for HP Pavilion a6242n (SP37530.exe) using Andy's Award Tool (ISA method). However, problem is trying to flash the new BIOS: the only thing that comes in SP37530 is WinFlash.exe. I tried using it and replacing the NET5.27 BIOS image with the modded version, but after reboot it looks like I still have the same old 5.27 BIOS (RW reports SLIC 2.0). I'm guessing this is because WinFlash is checking the version and NOT doing the flash because it's the same. I would rather use awdflash.exe to do the update for all the usual reasons, but cannot find one that I KNOW will work with this particular MB/BIOS. Here's what I'd like to have if anyone can help: 1. WinFlash V1.86.2.HP (version that comes in SP37530) GUI or command line options that will force the update (safely), or 2. A link (preferably inside an HP BIOS update from the HP website) containing a copy of awdflash.exe that will work with this BIOS, or 3. Info from someone who has successfully used ANY version of awdflash on any of the HP a6200 series motherboards. I finally found the excellent collection of awdflash versions on wimsbios.com, but don't know which specific version to try... Thanx in advance for any replies, e
