This BIOS file does not include Advanced menu unlock. It only disables WLAN&BT whitelist. A new mod can be made on demand.
Glad to hear that. I made it 2 years for some user. But I can't find his respond if the mod worked and I don't remember if additional changes were applied (like more options unlock). Better it would be working. Looking forward to your reply.
It works on a HP pavilion dv1280ea, i installed the drivers (it is a tp-link tl-wn861) and the wifi card works flawlessly!! Thanks for the modded bios! The odd thing is that it only shows me 45Mb/s in a speed test and the card supports over 300MB/s, I tried that on Windows XP. With the old card that supports only 54Mb/s did the same, only 20MB/s in a speed test, very strange.
Make sure your Wi-Fi router have minimal amount of active clients and operating mode "802.11n only" turned on. Connection speed also depends on computing power so needed for packets' rapid management.
I have antother laptop and it reaches more than 100Mb/s trough wifi connection, I don´t know if it´s a router problem or the laptop that W XP is not giving me all the speed
Furthermore, WIFI led does not work any more, very strange. Do you know if it´s related to the card or to the modded bios?
@Pavlo Hnat It looks like you already flashed a personalized non-whitelist BIOS mod from @Serg008 on your Lenovo B590. In that case, you don't need a new mod.
Hello. IDE drives can have up to 137GB capacity, but HP might have set a limitation of 100GB. I'll check what I can do with it.
The 128 GB barrier (or 137GB depending if you count in base 1000 or 1024) has nothing to do with being IDE, it has to do with being an *OLD* IDE controller with the 28bit LBA support (over the more modern 48bit one). @NacherasTM Not sure how they behave with XP but I think the most recent versions of BIOS extenders like MaxBlast, Ontrack DIsk manager and alike can remove this limitation just like they did with previous barriers of even older controllers. Whatever is something I haven't touched in the last 20 years so my memory may fail. P.S. Be sure you're using XP SP3 or Win2000 SP4, because older version of XP and Win2K also didn't understand the LBA48 addressing (which was released around 2003 or so)
