Well Happy Birthday to you, Shay.

The manufacturer of your PC should have provided an option for you to
re-install the operating system should you have need to. This would take the
form of either a recovery disk or a recovery partition. Check the manual
that came with the PC to see what it say's about recovery of the operating
system. You may even have to create a recovery disk yourself, so check the
manual carefully.

To check to see if your operating system is activated, Click the Start
button and the click on Control Panel. In Control panel, click on the System
Icon. The last section of the 'view basic information about your computer'
page in the system window you will see a section marked 'Windows
Activation.' Underneath this you should see the words 'Windows is Activated'

It sounds to me like your brother either has no idea what he's talking
about or is pulling your leg.

It's pretty obvious what he's talking about. His brother attempted to flash
the BIOS with an OEM signature to use an OEM BIOS-locked serial number to
avoid having to activate/buy Windows Vista.

In your first post you mention using "votak" tools.
Anyone who knows about Voatk tools, let alone use it to look for bios emulation cracks
must know a lot about the subject.

Why don't you talk to your "brother" instead of posting your crap here ?

I think you had better have a word with your brother and find out exactly
what he has done. One can only assume he has flashed the BIOS, the question
is why? It appears he has then told you 'BUT if it was fail i was need to
use my warrany' That is debatable, your brother has made changes to the BIOS
(presumably) any problems are 'his' fault not the PC manufacturer, he
shouldn't have been tampering with the BIOS in the first place. If he had
been specifically 'told' by the PC Manufacturer' technical support to flash
the BIOS then fine, but as he has absolutely no reason to flash the BIOS
they will argue that you are to blame for the PCs demise.
