HP DX2250 MS-7297
#1
HI

HP DX2250

Could you help us with this bios , i am not sure if its award or phoniex everset give this.

Motherboard:
CPU Type DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2600 MHz (13 x 200) 5000+
Motherboard Name HP Compaq dx2250
Motherboard Chipset ATI Radeon Xpress 200/1100/1150, AMD
System Memory 2048 MB (DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM)
BIOS Type Award (08/11/08)

but it also shows this . Confused

DMI:
DMI BIOS Vendor Phoenix Technologies, LTD
DMI BIOS Version MS7297 1.12
DMI System Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
DMI System Product HP Compaq dx2250 Microtower
DMI System Version
DMI System Serial Number HUB739189G
DMI System UUID 80D9680B-71DB1210-B3C3B8A0-C9C7C931
DMI Motherboard Manufacturer MSI
DMI Motherboard Product 0A7

the only reason for the unlock is to get virtulization enabled and yes the chip does support it, but the bios has no setting for it.

the firmware can be located here :
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/Tec...sp?lang=en&cc=uk&prodNameId=3310267&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=3310266&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=2096#120

version 1.12

hope you can help

many thanks

Hi Mate

I am unable to extract the bios image from the link you gave me
Please Download Winflash from the link below , start it up , and click save to backup the current bios into a file

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/747181/Winflash.zip

Then post the link to the backup and i can work on it there

NOTE:If you cant open Winflash or it gives you an error , you do not have an Award bios.

Hope this works

Great News

Ive managed to fully unlock your bios!!!

You wouldnt believe how much HP had Hidden!!

You can now access the frequency and voltage options aswell , which will allow you to overclock your system. Before overclocking though , seriously consider upgrading your cooling , especially your CPU cooler , as the stock OEM fans etc are not designed to cope with overclocks.

FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK , I WONT BE HELD RESPOSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG

Enjoy Mate!

Thanks a lot mate.

Yea we knew HP lock the bios right down, but to lock parts of the chip off is just really annoying, Just so they can force you to buy a "server" to run virtulization wa****s. I will give this a go flashing at lunch time.

I recon you could become very busy soon now that virtual xp has been released for windows 7 and people try and enable it in thier bios lol

thanks a lot again , i will let you know how we get on with it Wink


warlord

edit :

i guess i can use winflash, as hp uses a setup file to install it

Using Winflash shouldnt be a problem because , as you say , thats what HP uses to flash anyway

Hi mate

Ignore the PM Confused i finally it sorted.

Seems HP are using different versions of winflash as well, i have extracted the installer and made a folder that works and installs correctly. They also name thier files .ROM not .bin

Copy the folder (bios tools) to the c: root then run bios tools.exe , it will install YOUR new bios under windows . Big Grin

You are right , there a a [censored] of a lot more options there now, But no virtulization one that i could see Sad will have to see what windows 7 finds on it.

many thanks for all that you done on this

warlord

oppppps almost forgot the file is here . http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=198f7...f6e8ebb871

Doh

Still no luck with the Virtulization setting.

Got a program from AMD and it says yes the chip is capable but has to be turned on in the bios.

Plenty of other setting to play with though Big Grin
