    Are you figured out, how the BIOS is checking for approved HDD? I know that this is not neccesary to know now and I am very impressed by your disassembling skills but I am just interesting in this question... Thanks. :)

    Hy Guys,

    Let me ask one thing.
    I've downloaded the bios with whinphlash from here (for Lenovo M57, 6075-CTO), but when I tried to follow the x64 flashing instructions, I can't get into the Advanced menu, it says, ERROR 1275.

    Could somebody help me?

    turn off uac (user access control) then reboot then try again. right click run as admin

    is it x86 or x64 ?
    theres a winphlash for x64 different than x86

    Thanks Serg! Now, the modded bios should work for all types of T400's regardless of model number? And the one you posted is for 64 bit right? Thanks you again!
