And two bytes at the end of marker are changed from 00 -> FF
It can be avoided by padding marker with 2 zero bytes.

If I redo process again the header differences will be exactly the same.
If I pad marker with 2 zero bytes – those differences change as well.
I guess, they might be some kind of CRC or whatever - they don’t affect anything.

Can you mod a packard bell laptop with SLIC 2.1 ? when i bought my laptop it came with windows xp home edition.

**911medic** · 02 Aug 2009, 08:29 AM

I would recommend not padding the marker/key combo. It is not necessary.

Right – but otherwise isn’t it easier than WinHex memory edit?

**emuobo** · 18 Aug 2009, 05:29 AM

Please i need some help.Is there a way of extracting my bios file .fd from my pc and then modding?
my manufacturer didnt have it on their site.

**comwin** · 18 Aug 2009, 06:40 AM

I decompressed *.fd bios using 7z. At first you need to install 7z which you can get here - http://www.7-zip.org/ - by free ware. And then,right click on *.exe bios file you downloaded from your PC manufacturer - ex. HP. You can see how to decompress it. Hope to be help.
