    I have an HP m8330f Vista media center with the original slic 2.0.

    The HP site shows no BIOS update (or even the original BIOS) file for this system. So, how do I get this BIOS out of the motherboard to have it modified with a Slic 2.1 bin?

    Ideas?

    I have a Phoenix-Bios and a tool named WinPhlash64 which allows me to create a backup of the current bios. Is there any similar tool for HP?
