Programs you need: -EVEREST (To know your BIOS/MOTHERBOARD Type) -**BIOS UPDATE PROGRAM OR "FLASH UTILITY" 1. FIRST, download EVEREST to know the type of motherboard, BIOS, CPU, and your other computer components in your system. 2. Once you already know your motherboard and BIOS type, 3. Go to your motherboard or BIOS manufacturer's website to download the BIOS file you need to mod your old BIOS to. (Ex. If you have BIOS SLIC 2.0 and you want to mod it to BIOS SLIC 2.1, then you need to look for that BIOS SLIC 2.1 which is the updated BIOS version of BIOS SLIC 2.0). Make sure you download the **"Flash Utility" 4. Once you have the BIOS file you need and Flash Utility, its basically pretty easy from that point forward. 5. Follow modding and flashing instructions. Modding and Flashing instructions usually come with the BIOS file or Flash Utility you download. Some system, BIOS, motherboard manufacture's website might provide updated BIOS files and some don't. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can post your motherboard and bios details in the forum. There's a great chance someone will be able to provide the BIOS file for you or whatever else it is you need. I'm sort of in that kind of situation as well right now. **(PREFERABLY THE BIOS FLASH UTILITY FROM THE MANUFACTURER THAT ALSO MADE YOUR BIOS OR MOTHERBOARD IN AS MUCH AS YOUR SYSTEM MANUFACTURER -EX. DELL, HP, COMPAQ) Goodluck!
Hi WireW0rm I still think you don't understand this bios modification/flashing procedure. The bios information the computer uses at the time of boot resides in a programmable memory chip on the motherboard. In order to change this information the bios must be 'flashed' with 'new bios information' (BEN5_SLIC.32) using a computer program (afudos.exe). As provided by NoJuan999. In order to get this 'new bios information' the original bios file was downloaded from the PC manufacturers site and modified using the Amitool. The new bios file usually has '_slic' added into the name to distinguish it from the original bios file. The tool checks for a slic table. (there is no point addind a slic table if it is already in the bios file) Bios flashing is dangerous and if done incorrectly can result in in an unsaleable computer i.e. won't boot, hence the term 'bricked' (about as much use a a brick) You have an activated win 7 using a loader, so I would not rush into bios modification.
How to mod BIOS from SLIC 2.0 TO SLIC 2.1 version Hey, This is the kind of answer I have ever wanted to hear. I wish somebody had told me that from the beginning. But I'm glad it was you. I kind of like how you give people instructions. Thanks. So basically with a modded BIOS in hand, now all I've got to do is flash it. In my case, flashing my old BIOS with "BEN5_SLIC.32". I'm thinking of using AMIFLASH.
Correct, I would not recommend anyone flash thier motherbaords unless they: 1. have experience in flashing 2. have a cheap motherbaord that can be easily and cheaply replaced if something goes wrong. If you were flashing a laptop then I also wouldnt recommend that either because laptops can be expensive to replace and/or voids the warranty. For the inexperienced I would say try a loader first. Most of the time flashing a motherboard can go without a glitch but sometimes things can go wrong and modifying the code makes the procedure even more perilous. Goodluck
How to mod BIOS from SLIC 2.0 TO SLIC 2.1 version I tried to activated Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) and rather failed. Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) required BIOS SLIC 2.1 . I have BIOS SLIC 2.0 . The easy way to get BIOS SLIC 2.1 is by using Windows 7 Loader which is what I did. It installed OEM Certificate and SLIC 2.1 BIOS specifically for my laptop (HP) that corresponds to Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) specifications for Windows 7 to be activated. Basically, I got to activate Windows 7 without flashing BIOS but instead have Windows 7 rely on BIOS SLIC 2.1 and OEM Certificate installed to memory using Windows 7 Loader. Nevertheless, I want to gain more understanding on flashing more so on modding BIOS starting from ground up.
Hello What about a bootcamp setup with Windows 7 / OS X el capitan? I remember having trouble when trying to activate windows 7 (via bootcamp) with my former OS X Mavericks setup. I remember that when I tried DAZ Loader to get my W7 activated, then I got a black screen and a nice MSDOS black screen. I didn't try that with OS X Yosemite. So, which activator should I use to activate Windows 7 (bootcamp) in my Macbook Air (2012) w OS X El Capitan? Any good experience with the last one from DAZ Loader (2.2.2)? I think that one is the most famous but I am not so sure that this activator can work with Bootcamp W7 setup. Thanks in advance I wait for your reply
