I don't get "step 1: replace slcembed.raw with the SLIC you want to use" at all. How can I do this? By editing the file? Tried it with notepad++ but's all crypted or sth. Would be very much appreciated, if some1 hook me up with a lil tutorial about that. ;D
I'm assuming you grab the slic bin you want and rename it to slcembed.raw, as thats the data it is going to embed.
updated: added config option for systems that the RSDP cannot be made writable and moving the RSDP to EBDA does not work. this option will only work if there is enough room at the end of RSDT, XSDT to add the SLIC pointer.
updated 4/22/2010 changed to stronger encryption, check config.ini to set your encryption key clears old slic if present
Updated 5/19/2010 added chipset vendor id check, DISABLE_BIOS_RW can be left at default value, unless you have a spcific problem.
The make.cmd when run as Administrator does not work properly. It says FINDSTR cannot find config.ini, which in turn fails to create the encrypted slic and patched bootsect. When the following line Code: FOR /F "delims=," %%A IN ('"findstr ENCRYPT_KEY config.ini"') DO SET key=%%A is changed to this Code: FOR /F "delims=," %%A IN ('"findstr ENCRYPT_KEY "%~dp0config.ini""') DO SET key=%%A everything works correctly.
Hi I have just tried the WindSLIC_USB_05-26-2010. Did have troubles earlier but this was down to me not reading the instructions correctly and messing with the original settings. Please note that the instructions are very user freindly and it was just me hurrying things. Anyway the usb Windslic just like the CD version works great. Just like to say thanks to nononsence and all that have developed this. Now to the difficult part - Shall i use the CD windslic or usb windslic - What a choice. Many Thanks
Thanks, Good to know. I'm partial to USB sticks for booting for anything except OS installation situations, since you never know when you'll need the CD drive for something else. If you really want to hurt yourself, you could even get a U3 USB stick, and put the CD ISO on it by downloading the "u3-tool" from sourceforge (It's a util for putting ISO images onto U3-compatible USB devices so that they boot and appear to be CDs). Have a great weekend, -tij-
