SLIC amibios core 6 A901 Hi Andy. I have done another slic this time checking only the following options: 1- Allow alternate method 2- Allow bootblock This is the log: "Original BIOS size 262144 bytes (256K) 3144A Module 2 Padded size

Thanks again.
The log still shows SLIC inserted at 10 Which is not in the bootblock. I think for safety's sake the 'allow bootblock' does just that, allows it to be there but doesn't put it there if it feels there are other, safer, locations. I need to have a look at the BIOS agin tonight and pick a location. Andy
Msi p55-gd65 Hi Andy, I just modded the v1.5 BIOS for the board above with amitool 1.42. A page earlier you wrote that you have modified the tool to work with this MSI BIOS. Just to be sure i've pasted my log output below. Do you think everything has worked out right?

Big thanks Andy, I would like to thankyou again for your great help. I hope "our experiences" during the process help you make a better slic tool yet for all of us. Thanks.
Hi there Im not being able to find where are the links for the Windows 7 Certificates. Can someone pelase help? Im thinking about inserting asus slic 2.1 into the bios using the ami bios tool 1.42 but i dont have the asus certificate...
Lol...attachment of first post..it's a 7zip archive. . You'll find the certs inside of the OEM folders....
while modded my msi bios a message came up saying insufficient space and saving in the NVram area is this normal and safe
