    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.

    Does this look ok to flash to the board or did adding the ISA fail? 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!
