Thanks to clag and Yen! There is a chance to activate win 7 ultimate!! Now my question or rather concern is this: I have a HP laptop with Phoenix bios F.22 and it is almost 2 years old! i went to the hp site for my laptop model, and they have F.59 a , which DOES NOT have SLIC 2.1 support . Since this new bios was released awhile ago, in late 2008! I am not sure whether i should upgrade to F.59a and then continue on with modding the bios to slic 2.1?! or work with F.22! however, I can't find any link to download F.22 original bios file!! I am not sure :S, this is confusing and not certain what steps i should take next. thanks
