Yeah i know just hope it dont brick again being thats its not my pc lol now if only i could my dell xps 400 lol
I will try to make an OEM7 mod..it may be a while... You can try ISA, it is usually very safe...(with the tool)
It may have also been the tool i was using the 1.21 and it kept saying the files wasnt there but when i just downloaded the 1.22 it went with no problem
Thanks. I supplied the wrong model number. Anyway, I modded it myself using instructions from this great forum. Windows 7 Professional Activated and working like a charm.
I wanted to reply to this, to post what happened after trying this update. I decided to junk vista and install 7 anyway, and planned to use the 7 loader rather than the slic bios method as it didnt seem to work. So i trashed the hd, created new partition and installed from scratch. Low and behold, now the new slic 2.1 shows, and has activated successfully! That suggests to me that this is somehow tied to the bootsector of the hd? I know this is in the bios.. but why would it suddenly work after trashing the hd? Ah well.. I can confirm it works ok now!
It was probably due to having a Vista Loader/Activator replacing the BIOS info in memory after boot up.
