Re: Windows XP question
is it the same version? I use iso'd (untouched) XP OEM disks all the time and it never rejects the OEM (DELL, HP, whatever) sticker as long as they're the same edition

Re: Windows XP question
Those pirated ISOs are normally XP Pro Corporate edition (as it doesn't need activation). Those won't work with the XP Pro OEM product keys. You need to find an XP OEM disc.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

Does that tool allow you to actually use keys interchangeably from OEM to Pro or vice versa? I think not. I think it's just the equivalent of "Change Product Key" in msoobe.exe /a."We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

Re: Windows XP question
You need the dell edition of the disc... they're the same as regular discs minus not needing a key code (looking for an SLIC key in the BIOS instead). Since all they care about is the correct code in the BIOS, Either the home or pro version of the dell version image will work.
I personally use this one for my dell builds:

Re: Windows XP question
AFAIK, it's not that the discs don't need a key, but I think that the key is entered in the "unattended" section of winnt.sif. You can rig those discs to ask for a key (And also get back the windows repair ability for that matter) by removing the unattended section, so I think the difference between the OEM and VLK discs are deeper than that. Either way, that Dell OEM disc you linked will work fine.
After setup, run "c:\windows\system32\oobe\msoobe /a", then pick "I want to telephone", then "Change Product Key", then close it."We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have.

Re: Windows XP question
yeah I forgot about that. I've actually used that before. I used the tool once or twice when windows was activated, but MSSE and some components thought it was not. I think it uses a separate activation system that works in special cases
Rat you don't need a dell oem disk. Fuck I can use a HP oem disk on a dell, and put the dell key in during the install (for pro, afterwards for home), it will still work
I do it for custom builds all the timeLast edited by Uranium-235; 06-07-2013, 12:14 AM.Cap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: Windows XP question
I think Retail (and possibly Student's Edition) discs can be modded into OEM too. Just need to copy the disc to HDD, or extract the ISO if it's an ISO file, then edit the setupp.ini file.

Re: Windows XP question
The setupp.ini method will result in the install not accepting any key if you try to convert VLK to OEM or something like that."We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years.

Re: Windows XP question
Google oembios changer, there's a utility that will make any version of XP into an OEM version that auto activates once it sees the correct slic data in the BIOS. Used it a few times when I couldn't find a Dell or HP disk. It works fine, but it's a pain in the ass to find the corect OEMBIOS files. The download links keep getting nuked.Originally posted by henrysin44 View PostComment
