    can't clear CMOS on my notebook but restored manufacturer settings for BIOS.... the same... I really appreciate all the work you're doing for helping me but I think that there's something weird about my BIOS.

    No I didn't use any lo*der or act*vator before. It is a 5 day fresh install.
    I'm trying to boot from my USB drive and see if a DOS flash will change something. I'll keep you all informed.

    Thank you again for your help

    I'm testing it right now.
    Please note that I was able to modify my bios too with no problems... Windows keep refusing to validate the OEM key.

    I'll give you feedback after my BIOS update. See you in 10min.

    And.. thank you again for your time.

    Being a noob, let me know if I got this right. I have an HP OEM Vista machine with SLIC 2.0 in the AMI BIOS.

    In order for me to get Windows 7 Ultimate installed and activated without using a cr**k or lo*der, I would have to mod my BIOS to have SLIC 2.1 using the AMI mod tool and instructions in the first post of this thread, making sure the BIOS and certificate match. Then I install Windows 7 Ultimate with that key floating around, then install the HP certificate I used during the bios mod (slmgr.vbs -ilc C:\hp.xmr-ms). Finally I activate and all should be well and good?

    Thanks for any help and sorry for the noobish questions!

    Sounds good! Apply key and cert. using the slmgr commands after you've applied the 2.1 mod.
