Could not find the HP NC8430 on your site, so i extracted the rom from the cab file for you, please see the attached file.

 

Hope you can help... :blink:

 

Thanks for putting the effort into getting the bios, But.

I was unable to do your Rom as it's in a .bin file. I'm not Familiar with HP, but is there anyway you can make a back-up of the Rom you have?

Typically this is done with AFUDOS for exp..... However I'm not sure what program you would use on the HP to extract the Rom to a .rom image.

After searching the internet i found that .bin is a compressed .rom file....

 

I'm not a programmer but i think i found some useful information for you about HP Bioses.

 

Patching HPQflash.exe seems interesting:

Some general info on manipulating .bin files

Yes, a Modded bios should fix that issue, or you can hit F8 before booting to type CPUS=1 boot flag to boot up with only 1 Core, there is many posts regarding this subject.

Also, with your Notebook I would think it would support USB booting, as well there are many Subject regarding this. Most the time you can hit F11 for other boot options, I know on my Notebook it's F12, so pending your setup it could be different.

 

You might try google.com to find out how to Flash you Notebook.

You might also look to see if your Notebook supports HPET & Execute BIT enabling ( XD, I think it the Short hand ).

These Must be turned on as well in most setups, If XD is turned on, try turning it off, I know with my system turned off will let me boot using 1 Core to make Changes to the System.

 

a big thankyou Donator, but can I just clarify WHICH BIOS from the long list linked at the top of this page is the right one for the F3s V. There appear to be at least two? f3svas207 and f3svas208?

 

Many thanks for your kind help and advice D

Those are just the Bios Version, with the 208 being the newest.

Hello from Thailand

 

Can you please mod the BIOS for Acer 5570z? I'm running 10.5.6 and cannot boot without cpus=1.

Thank you very much,

Hi,

 

I have acer aspire 5583 and I use this modified DSDT.aml which is actually loaded with PC_EFI V9. You can try to load this DSDT file, since, I think both your and my laptop has same bios. To use this, you have to have PCEFI_v9 installed and you need to put DSDT.aml file in your root drive. For me both core started working with this. Also, if you want to have both core working without dsdt patch, you can try to pass "idlehalt=0" during boot instread of "cpus=1". Hope this helps.

 

Thanks.

Unfortunately the BIOS backup turnes up as a .bin file :( any other suggestions?

Hi,

 

I would like to get a modified Bios version for the Asrock G43 Twins-FullHD .

Chipset: Intel G43, Intel ICH10, Audio: ALC888, LAN: Realtek RTL8111B/RTL8111C

 

 

I am using it with Intel Core2Quad Q8200 CPU. OSX installs fine but it works only with one core.

 

The link to the last bios is:

Thanks for the file. However, I got it working by using a modified BIOS posted earlier in this thread and also I have to remove Disabler.kext. I don't know what Disabler.kext does but now Leo 10.5.6 boots without any boot flags.
