It shouldn't matter at all. As long as the correct SLIC Table is seen by Win 7. Thanks for the feedback.
Are you flashing in DOS? Dont use the windows flahing utility. You have to make a bootable USB drive using HP Storage Format Utility. And flash the BIOS after booting from DOS. Just noticed NoJuan has already addressed your problem. Thanks NoJuan I seemed to have skipped ouronin's post earlier. Sorry ouronin..
