    For: WinFlash32.exe /file SLIC.FL1 /ipf bios /sd /sn /shutdown

    I've got ERROR 182 - BIOS image is equal or older than ROM. Status = 0

    Then i've added /sd - windows terminated WinFlash.

    And for WinFlash32.exe SLIC.FL1 /sa

    I've got the same 105 ERROR.

    Windows terminate WinFlash in both ways.

    Should i add WinFlash32.exe to DEP exclusion?
    Is it safe?

    Yes! I've got 234 error under pure DOS. WinFlash32 hangs with DEP.
    Should i try 64-bit OS? :biggrin:

    I think that the result will be the same.
    Need to wait for "leaking" the utility from Lenovo to enable the Slic in this type of BIOS. (You can use the Windows Loader yet).
