    I don't mod at the moment, but still will give advice. There is much moderating stuff to do.
    Hope final W7 RTM is out soon.
    Thanks for your understanding.:)

    You mean pubkey and marker file....;)
    Yes, just replace it by searching BOTH at biosfile itself using hexeditor. DON'T USE PBE, it's not needed to rebuild the bios and probably screw something....use hexeditor. Usually you have to replace the MARKER data only since the pubkey data still the same, have a look and check yourself.....should be easy...

    Hi Yen!

    I have a question (just curious). When I was flashing my BIOS you advised me to do it from DOS using PHLASH16.exe with the following parameters because I had to change the bootblock:

    PH161700.EXE BIOS.WPH /BBL /X /S - everything went fine and my BIOS flashed successfully.

    Later I read you telling someone to flash BIOS like this:

    PH161700.EXE BIOS.WPH /O /Force /X /C /S

    You have mentioned that messing with bootblock was very dangerous so I'm wondering if the second way would also work for me since it looks safer without "/BBL" in that command.
    Thank you.
