    questions about phoenix editor

    Questions. I've been looking around this site for a couple of weeks and can't find what I'm looking for. I've done searches with my laptop model name, my bios string, and my bios sp. I don't get any link for anything about my specific bios. I've been trying to use the Phoenix editor but keep getting the "New Bioscod1.rom module is 3 bytes too small" at the end. I've tried with the wph file from the extracted bios file and with the bin version of it that I found online. I'd guess that I'm doing something wrong but now I'm on overload with trying to figure out how to mod this bios. My laptop is a Pavilion ze4933. Can anyone give me any suggestions or links for something relevant to what I'm trying to do?

    Second question is about the win7 loader. It is loaded but I thought it doesn't affect the XP partition at all. Do I have to uninstall it from the Win7 partition to use the tools on my XP partition?

    Hi there, just tried the modded bios for a Compaq nx6310 earlier in this thread. All went well, it rebooted ok, but didn't seem to mod for slic 2.1. Slic toolkit says Pubkey is ok but Marker is not. If I manually load the certificate and Slic.bin file for hp compaq it seems happy. so i'm guessing the cert I'm using is ok. Any help would be great.

    Hi, I'm a complete noob when it comes to bios modding, I have a Compaq cq60-415so I should have opened the SATA settings. Here's my bios: h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-76825-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4062&product=3984781&sw_lang

    Are there hotkeys to open the advanced settings?

    Hi there i found something curious, i did a backup of my 6710b bios with BIOS_Backup_TooKitV2.0, i check the file with HXD and see that the backup has my serial number model etc, later y add the HP slic 2.1 mark to the backup on the 2 marker & create de ROM.cab, i flashed with HPQFlash4253_patched, i know everyone will say, that was done with no effect on any of the two slic marks, but when i create a new backup with BIOS_Backup_TooKitV2.0 my new backup has the slic 2.1 table on the first mark but the second one doesn't change, seems that the second mark its the good one because, when i check with SLIC_ToolKit_V3.2 it still say 2.0, i think we skiped something,we only need acces to flash the second slic mark to succeed.

    I hope this help in someway & sorry for my bad english.

    Regards

    Hello guys, sorry for this newbie question, but I would like to insert SLIC 2.1 in this BIOS. It is a very old (2003) compaq desktop.
    Can please anybody give me a clue whether I can try to mod it myself or whether it is totally unmoddeable?
    Many thanks in advance!

    -Motherboard Model: Evo D310 Microtower

    -Bios Type: Compaq
