    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...

    Thanks. Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit OS?
    Came your PC with Vista preinstalled / does it activate Vista already?

    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.
