@Frwill Why don't you develop something that runs within W7 at startup? If you know where BIOS Slic table is in memory could zap with Slic Bin.
Hi, Can you confirm by clicking the about button that you are using version 1.1.3? Either it will error saying cannot find bootmgr, or it will activate w7. One or the other lol I have been a bit busy to get rid of the cannot find bootmgr error for those with duel boot vista / win7 machines but that doesnt seem to matter for you anyway. Cheers
thanks i will most likely do that next week after i get a wifi card will support 64 bit my current linksys card doesn't have 64 bit driver..........
This looks verry interesting, but how long will it take for MS to make this crack unclear? The only thing they need to do is check wether there is messed with their own bootmgr file. As far as I know, the gldr method is much harder to detect than this, or am I wrong?
Again, it's not a new crack, it's only two months younger than grldr, was compiled in May 2007, whereas patched grub in March 2007... To detect both patches is equally easy, as well as to fix them, something like this: look what is launched by bootsector's code and if this file has SLIC code inside and if it coincides with SLIC in memory tell slui not to activate via oem:slp channell. Of course it's easy to avoid this detection by not so straight boot sequence, so they'll need some additional checks... if they ever will decide to do anything, which i don't believe in... this is all 2.5 years old story already and MS didn't do anything , although said a lot....
Jessica (nice nickname BTW ) - post your Linksys wifi model and I try to find a driver for you. I don't believe there is no x64 driver on the net for it You can PM me too (that would be even better since this thread can be 'lost' after some other threads receive a lot of replies).
I got the same error, but mine about button say's 1.1.3. Is it compatibel with dualboot? Because dualboot doesn't have the 100MB boot partition and the bootfiles are on the partition of the other os. @frwil: I know its not a new crack, but I was just wondering why ms doesn't block it, cause it hasn't any affect on genuine installations or linux/osx/windows dualboot. What holds them?
I think they just don't care cause it never was popular enough. And there's no sense in blocking this sort of crack when there're loaders (and BIOS modding).
Hm maybe, or they know that if we can't crack windows there will be many people going to use linux. And maybe MS prefers illegal windows installations above linux.
