Greetings, I'm trying out a vista which has information already entered in the registry saying it's from a particular company. There's no SLIC in my bios as I put this together myself. Motherboard DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI-Dr using an Opteron at 2.7Ghz watercooled. The info in the registry which was there upon installation says in part: DELL - 42302e31 )Phoenix - Award WorkstationBIOS v6.00PG oC(Phoenix - Award WorkstationBIOS v6.00PG oJ(N4D623-2) I located these bin files for my board: DFI_Lanparty_nF4_0329_ACER_LENOVO DFI_Lanparty_nF4_0406_ASUS DFI_Lanparty_nF4_702-3_ASUS Seeing as the Vista installation is referring to Dell, before I try flashing one of these, I have four questions (I probably should have more) First; Is there a bin to flash for my motherboard that is made for Dell? I've searched around but no cigar. Second; If one of the above is all that is available, How might I find out which of these should I use? Third; Should I use binflash to flash the bios with this file or is there something better? Fourth: Do I need to remove data from the registry before activating? If so, is there a tutorial telling me where to go and do I do this before flashing the bios. I apologize for my lack of knowledge, I just installed Vista a few days ago and am in the steep part of the learning curve. It seems like I may need to undo some changes as this Vista 64 version apparently had been modified along the way. I just am not sure how to proceed at this point. Thanks for your time, MM
