Hi, Trying to active WHS with this board: - Mobo model: ECS 945GCT-M/ 1333 v3.0 - Bios type: AMI I am having issue with insert "Hewlett-Packard" into the correct address range. Use the DMI to tatoo HP successfully but the string is inserted elsewhere instead of in the range of 000F0000 - 000FFFFF. I am also using Andy's tool to mod the bios with no success (the mod itself is good and so is the flash). The moding only giving me the SLIC change but does not change the SLP, see below. I was thinking that if there is tool exist that allows me to add the SLP string with the define address range. Will this work or is there a better way? Anyhow, please give me some insight to overcome this problem. Thanks much. I apologize if this topic isn't in the right thread. SLIC dump on 945GCT-M ---------------------------- 000FAB87 000F0000 - 000FFFFF BIOSLOCKFUNCTION ELITEGROUP 000FE85C 000F0000 - 000FFFFF LEGEND Dragon 000F89D0 000F0000 - 000FFFFF LENOVO OEMBIOS tool: ----------------- Windows XP OEMBIOS Test v1.1/269/106 (C) 2007-2010 severach @ msfn forums F:EliteGroup OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=8EE1223C F:Genuine OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=8B2EBECB F:Hitachi OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=BE5CE5BD F:Legend Dragon OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=7B06BD13 F:Legend Dragon OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=AA3E00F6 F:Lenovo OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=5237B729 BTW, before I work on this board, I was successfully activate WHS v1 on another ECS test board using the DMI tool combine with OEMBIOS Changer. The easy part was that this mobo had a vacancy in the needed address range and when I DMI it, it inserts in the correct address. OEMBIOS.exe shows it.
hi everyone at MDL..i thank you for having me..i actually have 2 requests..1) i have an XP running on a Gateway GT5026E PC..& the bios won't allow me to set the SATA options to AHCI..(i don't want RAID on this PC)..so i need to unlock it & then tell me how to run it..here are the specs: PC: Gateway GT5026E BIOS: Intel version NT94510J Motherboard: Cortez OS: Windows XP sp 3 ok..that's the 1st one..the 2nd one is kind of tricky..i have a Gateway GM5688E PC..i actually unlocked the options in this one..BUT!!?? the RAID BIOS ROM just hangs & won't give me a CTRL+F option..(it just sits there & say "scanning for drives)..i even let it sit up all night just to see the same thing in the morning..so what i need desperately is to make my raid run..(i have a card..but i want to run it from the mobo)..AMD has an update for the rom..but it won't work either..(or i'm doing something wrong..here are the specs: PC: Gateway GM5688E BIOS: AMI version 7B3P081G Chipset: RS780 Motherboard: Foxconn RS780M03G1 Raid Bios Version: 3.0.1540.28 Updated Version: 3.0.1540.59 (this is supposed to stop the hanging..but i can't insert it in the bios).. if you need more info..hit me up..thank you all in advance..Peace..& God bless you & yours.. A-Weapons..
Thaaaaaanks Serg008, works perfectly. I tried a bunch of modified bios and so far none had worked for me. Thanks again.
