    Just to be clear there should NOT be a difference unless you are looking in the DUMP directory whilst manipulating in treeview
    They are the file section header (internally I refer to them as submodules just because I figured it all out manually from old Insyde BIOSes before the EFI specs where published with the correct nomenclature)

    Thanks for fast reply, but I run the bios update in dos "phlash16.exe /bu /v /swap=no bios.slic" and it says "BIOS ROM file may be corrupt (Extended checksum not zero)". Is it ok to flash? I try to make backup but it won't allow me without bios.wph??

    edit: running in dos because I installed x64 windows 7 and winphlash doesn't seem to work.

    edit2: managed to successfully flash and activate using BartPE. Thanks very much Serg008!

    Hi RACERPRO, do you know if your method #2 should work with latest F7 bios?

    how to remove slic 2.1 with new module use phoenixtool218 Tool
    I Use this method :
    Transfer your board data with FD44Editor from BIOS backup to vanilla BIOS file and then flash the modified file with "flashprp" command using FTK, and your "permanent" is no more.
    I get this Error 280:failed to disable write protection for the bios space
    my motherboard is asus B75M-A-ASUS-0602

    Made the same with final BIOS F7, and everything works very well (with slic 2.1 from Gigabyte).

    I just tried v2.18, been using v2.13 and missed the other updates so I don't know since when this occurs, but I noticed that the modules no longer get split up into it's separate parts, i.e. actual data of the module, header, name, tail... Is this behavior intended? I prefer the old behavior since it makes it easier to work with the actual content of a module without having to mess with the extra data.

    Here's a screenshot showing the behavior of v2.18 (left) vs v2.13 (right). I tried it on different bios and always got the same result, no more module splitting.

    Did you do anything other than just load the BIOS (ie go into treeview)

    No, that's what the tool comes up with simply when first loading the bios, before all the options become available.
