I need help understanding how C-Dilla works. I moved a motherboard from a machine that once had C-Dilla on it to a new box with a CD-RW drive. Same motherboard, CPU, and RAM, but a virgin HDD. After formatting and installing WinXP and other software, the CD-RW wouldn't burn anything copyrighted. This led me to believe C-Dilla uses the CMOS RAM to store information. Sure enough, after clearing the CMOS RAM via the standard motherboard jumper and restoring the BIOS settings, everything worked normally. So how did WinXP know to check the CMOS RAM for C-Dilla information. Does WinXP install a C-Dilla kernel-mode driver once Hardware Detection finds C-Dilla information in CMOS? It is even more diabolical than that, however. The same procedure did not restore CD-RW functionality on the box the motherboard was removed from. My guess is that both the HDD and CMOS RAM need to be wiped at the same time to get rid of this thing. Does anyone have any info or ideas on this subject. I don't want to wipe my drive if I can help it. Thanks.
