In the first post we have this But at oembios.net ,we have this Are they different? Which one should i use for ASUS?
yes i downloaded the uncompressed version does say corrupt irchive but you can still extract them right click on file select extract files when extraction windows comes up just tick keep broken files or just download the compressed version, no errors in that one.
Some help here: i understood till verify and compressing the BIOS but what is this OEM BIOS ARCHIVE for: Its really making my head spin:
OEM BIOS Archive contains the sets of 4 files named OEMBIOS.BI_, OEMBIOS.CA_, OEMBIOS.DA_, OEMBIOS.SI_. of all OEM manufacturers. If you patch your (VMware) BIOS with for instance Alienware SLIP, than you need the corresponding Alienware OEMBIOS files from the Archive in your OEM copy of Windows XP Pro, or to convert your VLK/Corporate copy of Windows XP Pro to the right OEM copy. (Unless your OEM copy of Windows was already from Alienware of course).
You have to have oembios files present from the XP install.. The programs have absolutely NOTHING to do with the Bios file for the mainboard.. These programs are to validate and prepare the files to activate the OS. You are misunderstanding their purpose. To add the slp to the bios, you need the SLP tatoo cd or usb programs. IN THE STICKIES!!!!
Could u please elaborate it more, after reading the stickies dozen of times i m stuck in this last step to verify/compress bios file i.e, .sig .dat .bin What do i do from here, u mention SLP TATOO...... ???
