Interesting Phoenix BIOS Mod request.
#1
I've got a BIOS with a Slic v2.1 already...

BUT - it has a feature in the BIOS I want either switched off or erased completely if possible. I looked at Phoenix BIODEdit and realised I was in too deep.

It has the feature HDD Password. No matter what drive I put in this machine, it asks for a HDD Password, that I do not have! If I hot swap the drive in after POST it is used fine (installed Windows 7 to it).

Reboot = HDD Password!!

If I put a different drive in, it still asks for a password. The drive in another machine it boots normally. So it's definitely not the drive.

The BIOS is question is for a Laptop (Acer Aspire 5000) called 3A32 and is Slic v2.1 here - http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads....?p=236958&viewfull=1#post236958

IF there is another way to remove this HDD Password thing without knowing it, please let me know. I've tried a program called unlock6.exe that removed the Supervisor and User password, but failed with this HDD one. Next is the CMOS battery, but I have a horrible feeling it's not going to work. Sad

Have you tried unplugging the computer from the mains , opening it up and removing the CMOS battery (circular battery) from its slot on the motherboard. Wait for 15 minutes and then replace the battery and reconect ot mains. This resets all BIOS Settings to their defaults!

Give it a try
