I went back to the elevated command prompt and used slmgr.vbs to install the pre-activation product key that HP uses. I reran the SLICK Toolkit to verify that the SLIC data was in fact v2.1. I than copied the modified BIOS back to the temp directory and hit continued. I guess this machine came with 7 or Vista, so I was lucky and able to put the exact SLIC data in the BIOS that would have come with this machine if it came with 7. The BIOS was called something like BEN5.43, I renamed it to BEN5.rom.īeing an AMI BIOS, I ran the AMI BIOS tool I have and injected the SLIC v2.1 data that I have for the same machine. I copied the contents to the c:\bios directory I made. Sure enough, it was the extracted contents of the sp file. Dir /a /odI looked at the directory that was created last, which was around the time I ran the program and cd'd into it.
