there was 2 different iso files and an additional pair of asset.com and svctag,exe, each being a different version. I have heard of some Dells that require one of the other versions. Did you try all 3? PS, just in case... the iso files are boot disks, svctag program must be run from Dos as well... not command line, Dos....
Modded inspiron 1526 bios worked like a charm!! I want to say thank you to all you folks, I finally have my windows 7 ultimate up and running and activated...I searched all over the net 'till i came here, the right place at the right time... I upgraded my bios with the one posted here and it worked like it came directly from DELL. I owe you one Shakeyplace...you made my day brother!! Many thanks and i'll spread the word around...
good, I usually use forcetype but Dell had said to use Direct with this one.. Oh well, at least you got it. I used the slic 2.1 version of the B9K table for the mod, the bios was already B9K but the slic 2.0 version so all I had to do was update the table... It will work fine for both Vista and Win7, same certificate... I also got mixed up with the version number, A01 is the latest, sorry for the confusion Dell Code Code: Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 00018940 54 68 65 20 27 58 27 20 72 65 76 69 73 69 6F The 'X' revisio 00018950 6E 20 42 49 4F 53 20 63 75 72 72 65 6E 74 6C 79 n BIOS currently 00018960 20 72 75 6E 6E 69 6E 67 20 6F 6E 20 74 68 65 20 running on the 00018970 6D 6F 74 68 65 72 62 6F 61 72 64 20 64 6F 65 73 motherboard does 00018980 20 6E 6F 74 20 73 75 70 70 6F 72 74 20 74 68 65 not support the 00018990 20 52 42 55 20 75 70 64 61 74 65 20 6D 65 74 68 RBU update meth 000189A0 6F 64 2E 20 20 50 6C 65 61 73 65 20 72 65 2D 72 od.

Thank you so much! I installed Windows 7 on my Dell Studio 1536 and kept having a problem with the machine booting to a plain black screen every time I would restart the computer, which was followed by a complete shut-off within 2 seconds of rebooting. After that the machine would boot normally, but it was quite annoying. I first installed the Bios Mod by BusyKid508 and restarted the compter, but it did the same thing. I then tried the mod by shakeyplace . . . and windows loaded normally after a restart-thanks! I've only done it once so far, but I had to send my thanks as soon as I could. You do great things for everyday people. Thanks again.
