Couldn't find a mod for a D600 so I decided to make one myself, tested working on my machine, not sure where I am suppose to post this, but ether which way here you go and hopefully it works. Also don't have 20 post so i cant post a link correctly, remove the spaces and you should be good to go. Manufacturer: Dell Model: Latitude D600 Version: A16 Bios Type: Phoenix SLP: Dell SLIC: 2.1 Link: sendspace . com / file / ge5sv4 Modder: LazyGuy Tested: By me, not sure about you. Method: Phoenix Tool
Flashed fine on mine cheers just about to install win7 i have a tasty little spare laptop now D600 1.5 G Ram 250 G HD 1.7 G CPU Wireless N Win 7
This did not work for me at all. I tried it twice, btw. I flashed from DOS. "Dump Error ! (SLIC Table Not found ! )"
mbmalone - Flash back to the original Dell D600 A16 BIOS. The install RW-Everything 1.4.7 and upload your zipped ACPI Tables report. If you can't attach the zip or post URL's, then break up the URL like 'lazyguy' did.
mbmalone are you sure the bios u flashed twice includes the SLIC? How about is the BIOS you're flashing tested by someone? I think there must be a mistake either in ur computer or the bios u flash...
Yes, I flashed with the one with the SLIC, because it had SLIC in the filename. Like I said, I would give it one more shot but I just don't have the notebook anymore :-( I do have another computer for my mom I am trying to get done, but it has Award Bios and SLIC 2.0. Nobody has done it, yet.
Out of curiosity, did you have the original BIOS "D600_A16.EXE" in the folder when you ran the D600_A16_SLIC.EXE (or the 8.3 version of the filename)?
At this point, I'm no longer sure? I suppose it was possible I had both files in the folder at the same time and with the 8.3 version of the filename I ran the wrong bloody file . It pisses me that I don't have access to the computer at this time to try it again. I deleted all the bios files for it that I have and now have only just the two files below which I am saving for a future date. I appreciate your thinking about what I may have done, it is possible. File: D600_A16.EXE CRC-32: 55825fb0 MD4: 5da76f6162f0ddaed10b0271e8abe60d MD5: 3ab6f1a674bae65afbc7038c7f2d79ba SHA-1: 8f5e5a61fcf2292f590138f9b2945292d5b60f5a -- File: D600_A16_SLIC.EXE CRC-32: 5a908c74 MD4: edabda1a2fad4176018229bce36e7638 MD5: 806a0d12f5567a4171cb3bfecffd76a0 SHA-1: 32aa026a82c936b92bfd4df61f52e2a5e29c4775
Only reason I ask is because I've seen modders state that you should rename it to the original filename. Whenever I flash from DOS, I only have the SLIC modded executable in the folder, so maybe that's why I've been able to use the 8.3 (aka tilde) filename ok. Anyway good luck with your other mod.
I was looking for this for many years. I ran your version of Dell Latitude D600 - A16 SLIC 2.1 BIOS update from Windows XP. It works like a charm. This version is confirmed working. Thanks.
D600 48-bit LBA included on this BIOS mod ? Hello, guys. New at this forum, found it when looking for a way to update Latitude D600 hard disk limit of 137 GB in BIOS. I don't know about this SLIC thing, read a little and understood it is designed for auto activating more modern OSes on machine. My target is not that, since I can run Win XP and that's the only OS I need. What I need is a way to be able to see my brand new 160 GB disk entire capacity on BIOS. So I ask you: does this BIOS mod add 48-bit support to A16 version ? Thanks in advance for your attention.
hello, tqhoang, thanks for your answer ! For bad luck, mine has got ATI Radeon 9000 video card. Is it possible to use a pen drive instead of an USB floppy drive for flashing and recovering, if I get it bricked ? In case anyone gets to know how to add 48-bit LBA to D600 BIOS, please let me know. Thank you, guys.
Don't bother...it's going to brick and you'll need a USB floppy. I'm not sure if the bootblock has support for USB sticks.
