Flash my Bios for Windows 7 Ultimate

[dakota]

Hi I have the Following Notebook:

Acer Aspire 5050-3371

It came with Vista Basic & now I want Windows 7 Ultimate

I downloaded bios files from Acer & took a chance & flashed it

Bios Type = Phoenix

Bios Version = v1.3315 was v1.3303

Bios date = 11/14/07 was 1/23/07

Video Bios Date = 6/11/08 stayed same

even though I flashed it Bios date still very old.

not sure what else to do.........................................Help.

trying to get my bios from 2.0 to 2.1, someone said I need to do this.

Thanks in advance :)

hi,

changing the number 2.0 to 2.1 doesn't mean that you have to update your bios.

BUT what you have to do in order to activate windows 7 as oem is to update slic table 2.0 to slic/slp 2.1.

There are two ways of doing that:

1. SoftLoader ( e.g WOW7 )

2. BIOS mod

I would recommend SoftLoader because it doesnt change real bios setting and you haven't to flash it!

just google for WOW7 and tut (if needed)!

Check out mydigitallife.info forums. They are opening bios mod requests this weekend. Phoenix bioses are harder to mod than others.

Changing the slic table to 2.1 is done in the bios.

I meant that's what I said. Either mod the bios to support slic 2.1 ( quite difficult for phoenix bios )or use a SoftLoader like this.
