I got the same message when I tried it, but it does appear to be an Award bios. Possibly something old that Andy's tool doesn't recognize. It may need to be manually modded. I see that you already posted a request a couple of days ago for a mod, but.... - you seem to be requesting an ASUS slic, which does not yet exist - you did not provide a link to the OEM provided (virgin) bios In some cases you can not mod an already modded bios, it is simply better to start with a clean bios and apply the desired SLP & SLIC. I would suggest you re-request the mod, but this time make sure you provide ALL the requested information, and ask for an existing v2.1 SLIC that is known to work with existing certs (DELL for example). That way you will have everyhting you need for W7 except the key, which will come in time....
I don't know about your exact motherboard, but i modded my old GigaByte GA-7VT600 board (seems same chipset, VIA KT600), and it worked like a charm, AwardBIOS 6.0 with SLIC 2.1 installed.
