Hi! I have a problem solving how to flash my bios. I got a new flashed slic 2.1 update made by one of you guys. It seems i can't flash using my USB stik and i don't find that option in my Bios setup either. I do have an external Floppy disk. I run Windows 7 Ultimate. Please help me out with procedure to flash it properly! -Manufacturer: HP -Motherboard Model: Pavilion dv9842eo Notebook -Bios revision: F.59 A -Bios Type: Phoenix BIOS -SLIC: HP 2.0 -New Slic 2.1
Make a bootable floppy: http://www.abitfaq.it/Files/drdflash.exe Get the flashtool: http://www.sendspace.com/file/g83uqv Copy PH161700.EXE and your bios mod onto it. Rename the modified biosfile to BIOS.WPH Boot with the floppy. You have to boot to pure DOS.... At DOS prompt type: PH161700.EXE BIOS.WPH /X /S Tell me if it works for you.
I just tried that. All worked fine until i write that Command "PH161700.EXE BIOS.WPH /X /S" it says that it can not be rocognized. Maybe i write it wrong. Does it have to be all big letters? And is there some "space" between them to concider?
PH161700.EXE BIOS.WPH /X /S No quotation marks: PH161700.EXE<space>bios.wph<space>/x<space>/s No matter if capital (big) letters or not.
Still same "Command or Filename not recognized" I have the correct files on the floppy that you mentioned. But now i see there are few more there that have been made by itself i suppose after the reboot try. I attach a Picture of what files are on the Floppy right now. Wonder why there are IBMBIO.COM And IBMDOS.COM?
That's strange. OK....You've changed the boot order at bios setup to boot from floppy drive to priority 1. Then you have rebooted....it boots now from floppy to DOS...you have got now a dos prompt like: A:\> and then you've typed the command..right? Have you removed the write protection (switch at floppy)? The hole must be closed...... Anything different?
The Hole on the Floppy is closed yes. And your correct about that it starts as Priority from Floppy when it is Connected and i get the letter A:\> So what could i do?
Delete the autoexec.bat and the command.com from the floppy. Then reboot and retry. Also please send to me the link to the original and to the biosmod if it's not working. I'll check the mod...
Ok, then i prefer to await you having a look first because i actually got 2 Bios Mods and am not sure wich of them to choose. 1 was made by "Busykid" and the other i don't remember his name now. Think one is so called "Automade" and the other a "Manuelmade". please give advice on wich of them is most correct.

Thanks. Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit OS? Came your PC with Vista preinstalled / does it activate Vista already?
i run 32bit OS Windows 7 Ultimate. This Laptop came with preinstalled Vista OEM. And i have for now activated this Windows with Orbits30& Hazar's Loader v1.4.
Ok, try to update from W7. Run SWinFlash.exe and flash the mod (30CCF59.WPH) After that check for SLIC2.1. You have the recovery floppy? Just in case of a bad flash. At the mod I've only exchanged the Marker to 2.1 nothing more..... http://www.sendspace.com/file/wq8tm7
Yes, looks fine. You have to remove Hazar's loader to reconfirm if you didn't that before. And please post the mod here with all details: http://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/7500 I have to go now...if something is still wrong, please reply here again..
THAN'K YOU VERY VERY MUCH YEN for this BIG help. I will now try to remove Hazar's Loader and try instal with the Slic Loader instead. Is it wize to use his same loader for this? Your the "BIOS KILLER" that gave my Bios NEW life ;-)))
I runned Orbit30&Hazar's Loader and Unloaded but my Windows still says it's Activated after the restart. And i haven't made any new activation to my Bios after that. Is there a cert and Key embeded in that new slic 2.1 i got?
No, Lol....You need 3 parts to activate: - SLIC2.1--> is now at your bios and doesn't come from the loader anymore. - certificate, remains installed (came from loader installation) - serial, remains installed, too.(came from loader installation) You don't need any loader anymore, you have now a hardcoded SLIC.
