o well i just found this thing in the rack last week and got it up and running. but i am trying to get it to do XP and 2k3 user/pass procteting and that is why i am trying to flash the thing
All you have to do is use the debug menu and unlock the bios and change it from oem mode, and lock the bios again after you put it in normal mode and it will take the snapos and for all intents and purposes is now a snap 4100 with a dell badge on it.
