Thank you Busykid508. BETA BIOS F8E BIOS flashed nicely. I get the beta bios from the forums on tweaktown. I have DUALBIOS on this mobo so I´m fine. All i need now is Windows 7...
My motherboard is a gigabyte and DUAL BIOS also....I was worried that you were about to flash your bios with the wrong one....I am happy it flashed perfectly for you.... Glad it worked for you.
Yes, you can activate Server 2008 Enterprise, DataCenter Full and R2. You have the certificates for Server 2008 Enterprise and DataCenter Full in the Vista Certificates that will activate these 2 programs. You only need the OEM SLP Product Keys for these 2 programs. R2 certificates are not available as of yet as well as theOEM SLP Product Keys.
No, all you need is the HP Cetificate - the OEM SLP Key can be DELL, HP, Toshiba, Samsung or whatever and has no bearing on the HP Certificate or any other certificate....it does not matter.
Did I not make myself clear above...IT HAS NO BEARING ON IT WHATSOEVER... I can have a ASUS Enterprise 2008 OEM SLP Product Key and activate it on an HP SLIC and HP SLP or an Toshiba SLIC and SLP....The OEM SLP Product Key does not affect it...trust me...I won't lie to you.
Here is the formula for OEM Activation: HP SLIC + HP Certificate = Activation if I have any valid OEM SLP PRODUCT KEY. HP Slic + HP Certificate = Activation with OEM SLP TOSHIBA PRODUCT KEY. HP Slic + HP Certificate = Activation with OEM SLP DELL PRODUCT KEY. DELL Slic + Dell Certificate = Activation with OEM SLP HP PRODUCT KEY. Do you see where I am going?
That is a good question and to be honest, I am not sure with the New SLIC v2.1 and XP....let me found out.
