    Just wanna make sure that you understand that you don't need to flash your bios. Install W7, apply the key and certificate and you are done.

    Yeah, so you've got the same problem as the other user. This is the first bios that does this and i don't know why.

    On your last picture - what is that file "4745.fd"? Where did it come from? Or is this renamed ZQ1x64.fd? What happens when you try running just ZQ1_115.exe?

    Str8 I just found out something, if there's allready slics 2.1 in it, just upgrade the bios with their original bios file n flasher, dont change or rename anything, first of all remove loader if they use it, I test it on my friends lappy, its acer 4745, same as prasrig, after it have upgraded, when I check with slics toolkit it allready present slic 2.1. I only install the key n the certificate, n that's it, no mods bios at all.

    Note : I dont know if it's work or not, but why dont they try:biggrin: n see what happen.

    :D It already has slic 2.1! What was the purpose of modding it? Do this. Get the original bios file ZQ1x64.fd from ZQ1_115W.exe and try flashing that from DOS instead of using your mod: ZQ1_115.exe ZQ1x64.fd /all

    You see, this simple upgade is not gonna work for prasrig. If you look at his RW report you'll see that "slic" section contains only a header - no public key, no marker - it's filled in with "zero"s. And so far with Acer the only way to get that slic in was flashing from DOS with /all switch.
