sadly, it does not. i'm very new at this, and if the info is in there, sadly, i seem to be drowning in information from that... i know i need to match 3 things to get it to get vista to activate, but where to get those pieces seems a bit haze to me. With all respect, i'm not really looking how to learn how to patch the bios (911medic has already done that). I'm looking on how to actually install everything into the system ____________ anyway, i was able to flash the bios, but with minor recoverable errors, so i'm keeping the patched in, but i'm still not sure on what to do next. Vista is not yet validated it seems.
