Thank you, NoJuan999. I have just used DMI Boot CD, and I could at least tatooed it with HP string. It's one of the newest Asus motherboard, so they might have implemented something new. I will post it in XP SLP thread.
Hey guys, can anyone tell me how to use Rw-everything to get necessary info. Thanks a lot. The link in the first post on this thread is not working thats why I'm confused....
Thank you again NoJuan999 for your suggestion. I did the installation. But the standard method to activate doesn't work. Even with W7 installed, I'm unable to get a dump of the SLIC table with the SLIC Dump Toolkit. I tried to use also the latest Beta of Everest to look at the ACPI tables, but there isn't any SLIC table available. I must say that I was skeptical about the option of activating W7 even if I was unable to see the SLIC table. But I tried anyway because you told me that it should activate correclty. The thing that leaves me more disoriented is also the fact that when I tried to add the HP Slic bin to the original firmware, the tool warned me about the existance of another slic (2.1) table already in the image of the BIOS. It's like if the table is there (like the one added manually) but when the BIOS boots the system, the SLIC table is discharged. I'm a newby about this things, and I just know the key aspect of all the activation procedure with a SLIC available in the ACPI tables. Do you have other suggestion? I'd like to avoid the slic emulation through grldr if possible. I haven't yet tried to use an activator, because I prefer the BIOS modding way. Thank you. Mirko.
