New to the forum, but not new to your work! Thanks for helping so many people deal with these annoying locked BIOS.

I have an HP Pavilion g7-1257dx. I'm interested in running OSX, Linux, WINXP and Win7 all from this computer. Obviously, I need to be able to access some of the more advanced BIOS features. Would you be so kind as to lend me some time and some of your expertise to mod mine? Attached is a screenshot of the BIOS. Its currently SP55717. I checked all of the modded bios that are on here and none match up to the current or previous SP's that my laptop uses.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and feedback WILL be left.

I've got a G7-1174CA with the same sp55717 bios update, but I wanted to get a better wireless card installed. I'm planning on using an Intel Ultimate Wireless-N 6300

Also the unlocked advanced menus would be welcome. The version stored in the BIOS repository is not working on my computer for some reason. attached is the error
