Sometimes the European sites of your motherboard may have an extracted bios file or if necessary call Packard bell and have them do it for you.
No such luck. I just can't see how this isn't working, RWE does indicate a 2.1 SLIC in the BIOS... I'm using a Win7HP upgrade-media, could that cause a problem?
Things have changed....Yen will no longer do that unless absoutely necessary,.....it can be modified here but we need an rw everything report or it won't be moded.
I have no idea of what a win7hp upgrade media is.... The only versions which can be activated are those with OEM SLP Product Keys and if you don't have one of those (Ultimate Edition - Professional Edition - Home Premium Edition) then it won't activate.
No, I don't think this is a trend of SONY for this appears to only occur with bios updates of older machines, those before vista
My laptop is not that old. i believe its last year's model. i bought it new and it came with original Vista home premium..
hmmmm....then I am not sure because the bios update is for xp I take that back...it was for Vista...sorry
Win7HP= Win7 Home Premium. Tried with a Technet ISO as well (Win7 Ultimate x64 ENG), that BIOS mod doesn't work. I've tried searching for the ROM/WPH, seems its wrapped inside the EXE.
