Something like that, only different part that i did was to install with no key and add it later with slmgr.vbs -ipk
Awesome! Good to know I'm in the right mindset about all this. Being my machine is OEM, I could only get the BIOS file from them instead of Asus. I ran the AMI mod tool and it was looking for a file with a *.rom extension, which wasn't in the extracted folder. I chose the file called VIO5.29 and it detected the file as the BIOS. Went through the rest of the steps and it matched and verified after it completed. Problem is, how do I install it? Originally, it should be run via the HP installer. but now there are 3 new files in the folder, 2 bin files (1b.bin and 1b_slic.bin) and a VIO5_SLIC.29 file (someone told me in another forum that this was the updated BIOS file, anyone confirm?). I'm not not so sure it'll install the files I want it to if I go via the installer. Should I use something like an AMI BIOS flash utility and update using the VIO5_SLIC.29 file manually or should I maybe delete the old VIO5.29 file and rename the new one to to that and run the installer? Sorry again for the noobish questions. Any thoughts?
Help no ram recognized by bios Asus M2A-VM Hello , i modded my bios with the guide in this thread. It worked so far and my system is still switching on, but i csn neither boot or install any system. The Bios says that there are 0 kb of ram installed. I flashed back the bios , but the ram is still zero. Can anybody help?
This is the Modified bios (VIO5_SLIC.29). Rename the file to VIOS.29 - The other 2 bin files can be deleted and are not needed. Also delete the VIOS.29 which is the NON-modified bios. Flash your bios according to HP's Recommendation for your particular machine....they should have provided a flash utility for you.
Do you have the link for the download of your bios and what is the name of your machine and motherboard model?
Yeah, that is clear! My question is which files I need to mod my bios!? I don't find SLIC/SLP 2.1 files for my Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe bios and a right cert file to activate Windows 7 Ultimate x64!
Successfully activated "Asus P5Q SE" with newest BIOS using the HPQOEMSLIC-MPC.BIN, HP SLP, HP Certificate and Ultimate SLP OEM key. Used the SSV3 method. Thanks all of you, i am happy.
That is because you will never find a SLIC 2.1 and SLP 2.1 for ASUS...they do not exist and from what is being said, they never will exist... Use DELL_QA09.BIN SLC 2.1 and DELL SLP.
Hi i'm new, and just a tad scared to post this. I have a toshiba equium p200d, i'm trying to follow the tutorial.The tutorial seems quite straight forward, however.... I downloaded and extracted the bios from the toshiba web site. When i try and open it in the award prog it says bios size not valid. It downloaded with a exe installer, the file is called asaa 140a.rom and is 1.04 MB. Am i right off the mark? Hope i'm making sense. Thank you if you can help.
Most likely your file is not an Award or AMI bios but rather is a Phoenix. Toshiba loves Phoenix. And so, none of the tools here would be useful...give a download link and I will tell you if this is true or not.
