To ZORT and MEDIC I want to thank both Zort and Medic for all the help of which you bestowed on me and I thank you.....I never thought I would see the day where I could change up my bios to accept OEM versions.... Thank you both for all your help....I am officially validated by Microsoft with all the updates. Thanks.
I could not have done without you and Medic....I don't understand why that first modded bios did not work for you gave me basically the same thing but this one worked and the other did not. Anyway, I want to help on this board if I can....just let me know.
I noticed something when I first installed the real bios update before installing the modded one. I had to unzip the files to my USB Flash drive and they appeared to work. However when I copied and pasted the files to the USB Flash Drive, they would not work. Your last modded bios let me unzip the files directly into the USB Flash Drive without a folder involved whereas the first modded bios unzipped with a folder involved. When I unzipped them directly to the USB Flash Drive without the folder, my computer recognized it...when I unzipped it with the folder and copied and pasted the contents of the folder to my USB Flash Drive, my computer would not recognize it..that may seem strange but that was the only way I could get it to work. However, when I unzipped the files without the folder, it accepted it....anyway, I still hold to my promise to be of any assistance to this forum if you will allow me...thanks again Zort and Medic...you 2 are most kind.
Sorry about that. I have checked the mod again and it looks 'fine'. It is probably the way I did the code alterations, but that was always a guess. I will have another look. Andy
