Just wanted to have you guys look this over to see if the bios I modded looks ok before I flash it to the MB **Bios is for an older board Abit BD7-II RAID** 1.) I used the "Cbrom mybios.bin /ISA ISA.bin" command to insert the HP ISA.BIN file into my bios. (Used HP because I already made a HP OEM BOOT DVD) This is what showed on the screen cbrom mybios.bin /ISA ISA.BIN cbrom V1.82 [04/11/07] (C)Phoenix Technologies 2001-2007 Adding ISA.BIN 75.7% does this mean it only added 75.7% of the ISA.BIN file? 2.) I then used "CBROM mybios.bin /D" to check if the info was there and this is what came up. ******** mybios.bin BIOS component ******** No. Item-Name Original-Size Compressed-Size Original-File-Name ================================================================================ 0.

Also is this MB too old? i have a 3ghz P4 HT and 2 gigs of DDR ram in the system so it should run vista ok. And yes i know its old, but its my old mans pc and he wants to use vista.... Thanks!
Hello! Where I can read about the ISO-method of patching BIOS for Vista activation? There is no searching filter in this forum, so I couldnt find it myself.
Sweeet!! Abit BD7II-RAID BIOS Modded to add HP SLIC Windows Vista ACTIVATED!! Thanks to all the great info I found on this forum!! I can post a copy of the bios I modded if anyone else needs it.
