    Hi, guys

    Im trying to activate windows 7. i have hash checked my copy and its correct with the other stick on here. I have fresh installed and formatted many time to try and get the loaders to work but tryed nearly all of them to no avail.

    Here are my system specs.

    x5000+ athlon
    DFI DK 790gx m2rs
    OCZ 4gig ddr2 800
    ATI 4890

    Now when i have used any loader it installed correctly then restarts. but when it restarts it loads in my bios and then stops at where i should start to boot in with a flashing cursor.
    I had vista activated with a loader with no problems at all but this was with a diffrent board but all hardware the same.
    is the board my problem? or the bios on the board? i just cant understand why it wont boot is there something im doing wrong?

    The best thing to do is just take your time, read through the forum and get some info, then if you cant activate with a loader try to mod the bios yourself.
    I never had any problems with my first bios mod after reading up on things.

    hi, ok i have Pheonix award bios on my board can anyone point me towards the correct tools to use with my bios to mod it. As i havent been able to locate a bios for my board yet that has been modded by someone else.

    Bios Modding is the way to go, lo*ders are a waste of time IMO.
