I stupidly updated my BIOS not realising that it would cause the reload cd not to work. From doing some research I understand I need to edit the DMI string of the Bios so that it matches the DMI string of the Reload CD. My question how do I begin to do this?
First off, this is an old machine that can boot up fine into a less than legal version of Win XP Pro (I had to test it). I want to use my reload cd as I can't be bothered paying for another OEM of WIN XP Home. Nobody I know has this version so thats out of the question. My only option is to edit this DMI string.
My questions,
How do I get the string from the reload CD so I know exactly what to change the DMI string on the Bios to?
Where can I get the DMI String editor from with instructions?
The PC is not being used now anyways so if I make a mistake and fry things no harm.

The computer is an old Time Computers one and I've been told the DMI string should have Time Computers at the beginning.
