Just a question from a "newbie" . Have dell 390 with Vista buisness which auto activates when using the "reinstallation dvd". Is it possible to use the Dell W7 Professional Reinstallation dvd and autoactivate on this machine. OR does it need a Modded Bios - Bios now is dell ver 2.6.0 19[/5/2008. Any info much appreciated. Cheers geoff
you will need to check whats in your bios use davidxxw tool called SLIC_ToolKit_V3.2.EXE if it says you have got slp 2.1 in the bios you can activate win 7 if it says 2.0 u can only activate vista n xp
thanks to you all, very much appreciated,have downloaded and installed modded bios ,when I have the disc will report back. Thanks again. geoff
Confirmed loaded and working fine. many many thanks for your help, very much appreciated. Cheers. geoff
SLIC toolkit reports SLIC 2.1, but that "No OEM certificate found"? Is there an issue with the BIOS mod or do I need to import some sort of XRM-MS file? Thanks.
You need to load the matching Dell certificate. Example using the Dell certificate from the SLIC BIN collection. slmgr -ilc DELL-DELL-2.0.XRM-MS Wait for the confirmation dialog to appear, and then load your product key. slmgr -ipk <Windows 7 Product Key>
Hi I tried your modded BIOS above ( sendspace.com/file/ue5m37 ) The BIOS updated successfully (well it said it did) , however SLIC_ToolKit_V3.2.EXE still reports "Dump Error! SLIC table not found!" I did a "reload to facory defaults" in the BIOS but still no SLIC table. I think maybe your modded BIOS assumed it already had SLIC 2.0 but mine doesnt have a SLIC table... I am using the latest DELL BIOS --> f tp://ftp. us. dell. com/bios/WS390-020600.EXE I have done a RW-Everything report with this DELL BIOS --> sendspace.com/file/cygy43 (NOTE spaces in URLs) I hope maybe you could add the SLIC 2.1 table to this Thanks Steve
I did a asset PASS:12/31 and unlocked into manufacturing mode. Now I have SLIC 2.1 You guys are brilliant! Thanks!
