    Does it matter that the original backup of the bios was in rom format?
    Sorry about all the questions, this is for my brothers business computer. If it was mine I would just flash it and be done with it.
    Also what would be better to flash it with? A usb stick or a usb floppy?
    Thanks again, budzos

    Noop... actually AWDFLASH by default accepts bin files. USB stick is more convenient I think.

    I already renamed it to 517SLIC.BIN (in the .rar file) so no need to rename it again.

    It doesn't matter.

    I would flash from a USB Drive since the BIOS is 1MB in size.
    PS
    See my signature for a Guide to flashing from a USB Drive.

    NoJuan999 everything worked out great, Thank you! Unfortunately for me the computer was crashed when I got there and I spent 1/2 hour fixing that.
    The bios flash went without any issues and Vista activated. Also my brothers stress level has dropped since it was his computer.
    Thanks again, budzos
