    Hello, somebody help me on how to make my own Windows XP x64 SP2 Pro OEM DVD. I wanna convert VL to OEM, but I do not have the files, and I do not know what OEM bios files to use (I have Giga-Byte Technology OEMBIOS.CAT CRC32=6COC2E95 and SYNNEX TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL CORP OEMBIOS.CAT CRC32=6EBE3B48 for XP, Server 2003 has nothing). Somebody please help! Thanks! If you need more info feel free to ask!

    It is a generic oem iso.
    Only a matching oembios set and winnt.sif with license key is all you need for activation.

    A volume/retail image needs to change a few more file(s).

    Fun fact, that licensekey is not exclusive for Gigabyte. It's not universal either but quite a few vendors can use the same key (with matching oembios set ofc)

    :)

    Yeah, I tried xp_activate32 like a few months ago. It works well too. I just wanted to make this custom ISO as a mini side project so yeah but thanks for the suggestion!
