    Anyone... you can use Serg008's mod so that it can be confirmed.

    neither of the flashes are working... ssv2 seems to work but it won't activate even after applying the digital cert and changing to dell oem slp key... the other won't run under windows 7... gives error wanting admin privelages and I'm running as admin. Even tried enabling the built-in administrator account.

    Further research finds the following file for those having same issue:
    Dell XPS M140_A04_Dell21_DOS.rar

    Does anyone possibly have a copy of this? All links on rghost have been deleted.

    Thanks in advance!

    There is not any option about hard disk in bios, only a non-configurable page displaying internal HDD information.
    Does the dell client configuration tool give more options to control the bios? I don't have a Windows installed, so cannot easily try the dell client configuration tool.
