Has anyone modified a bios from a sony vaio notebook? I've been trying to backup a copy of the current bios to modify it, or to request someone with more experience to modify it, but haven't had any luck yet. I've tried running a copy of phlash from a bootable usb stick, but it says it won't run if any memory managers (eg HIMEM.sys) are active. Winphlash64 hasn't worked for me either, giving me error103 - seems i can't backup the bios without a proper replacement bios in the new bios field. haven't been able to locate a copy of the bios online either. The laptop is model VGN-NR498D. The bios is a phoenix technologies R2060J9. currently running vista64 ulitmate. thanks for any help!
Yes, I understand that the AHCI ROM was accidentally set aside for the SLIC..I have remedied the situation. The AHCI ROM is replaced and in its original placement. It should be working well now. There is nothing missing from the Bios and everything should load fine...Including the SLIC
