Thanks you are the man! That was quick work, did you just change the bios or have you got every oem version? if you have i wouldn't say no to the sony version just to keep it "original".... or am i pushing my luck here?
Rename R0052N7_SLIC.WPH to R0052N7.WPH and place in folder where the winphlash.exe file resides and right click on winphlash.exe and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR and see if it will flash the bios.
Hi i did rename the file to R0052N7.WPH but did in dos as you originally recommened.. Why is it likey to work in Win?
I don't know but it does not hurt to try....I think too many times on this board people expect me to know every computer in the world or to streamline the thinking - I am to know everything about your computer. I don't know anything about your SONY for I never owned one. What you may have to do is flash the bios with a XP bios file and then upgrade to the modified bios file.
Well actually i currently have an xp bios installed and am running XP. i take it i can try running winphlash.exe in XP.
