    Hi markusof, at least we're making progress! The isa mod works for most people. Do you have vistaloader or other boot loader installed? That would override any bios mod and cause it not to work. If not, there are some different oem mods we can try.

    I haven't even went into windows but after a half decent flash to see a slic, which was not there, I think it was the one a guy did with the automated tool.

    I am flashing from dos with usb stick.... works great now that I have awd883....
    If we can get around this checksum error...
    I will have to look at the last post to see If I see a SLIC
    Thanks

    I've retried them all with no avail...

    Here's an oem mod you can try:

    This one is EPA at bottom, OEM where EPA was.

    Update: Link removed. That one wouldn't flash. Posted a new one with same checksum as original. See later post(s).

    markusof, did you try with awd883? Maybe awd893 included in the link above isn't compatible either. Also flash the original bios and reboot before flashing the modded one if you aren't using the original already.

    Edit: I noticed the original bios has a 8-bit checksum of "51". I'll update the modded version to match this.
