Please can anyone help me to fix what I fd.
I followed procedure YEN used.
QUOTE: I used DmiScope: Click unsorted at the bottom left, choose base board information---> data fields. Change serial number (was not set) to Hewlett and write DMI entry.
In my case my procedure was to use registered version of DmiScope:
Unsorted/
Base Board Information/Data fields/Manufacturer/Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Changed to “Hewlett”
Data fields/Serial Number/ “was blank” write “Hewlett”
Never worked so tried Hewlett-Packard in these fields.
This did not work so I thought maybe I was meant to insert the key –
Data fields/Serial Number/ MVF4D-W774K-MC4VM-QY6XY-R38TB
Bad Mistake: Now when I use DmiScope “Base Board Information” is not there, instead there is a second “BIOS Informaton” 3rd on the list were “Base Board Information” use to be.
When Selecting this, I see under Report-
BIOS Information
========================
WARNING: Invalid object length!
Under Data fields-
Offset Bits Name Byte Value Raw data
00h Type Byte oh 00h
01h Length Byte 2h 02h
If you try to Right Click Modify a message comes up “This data field is critical for the system and cannot be modified.
Under String table- Index/line No. 5 shows the Key I inserted and Under length is written 25 for this index.
Under Dump the key I inserted starts at Offset 00000020 column 5 “4D” and ends at Offset 00000040 column 2 “00”
This is all double Dutch to me and I am out of my depth. Is there any advice in laymans terms that can help me fix this, as said I cannot find a way or know how to edit this back.
Also what should I do in terms of the goal to make XP royalty/valid and what do you insert for Serial Number.
Note: I have Gigabyte GA-8S661FXM-775 (Rev 1.x) board running XPpro and followed the site instructions to make a HP PAVILION Royalty OEM OS.
I did not use a modified BIOS, SLIC I think they are called?
I Update BIOS using @BIOS and it did not fix above problem,
I cannot try Updating BIOS in DOS to see if it will fix it until I get a Floppy Disk Driver as my machine has not got one.
BTW: I used 06D652A4 “HP PAVILION” Hewlett-Packard Company BIOS files from OEMBIOS Repository.
After installing my Royalty OS made with these files I used OEMBIOS.EXE from NSFN forum.
OEMBIOS.EXE Test Results-
F:HP & Compaq OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=CD4E1902
These Royalty OEM install CD’s should preactivate <SLP> on your system.
