    i never played with XPmode, i'll have a look.
    is oembios.exe capable of listing XPmode when it scans?

    Anyway, I think i managed to patch it without causing boot issues

    VirtualBox 4.1.x x64 patch for the OEM pre-activation technique used in Windows XP Mode VHD.

    with the latest patcher on 32bit = Nothing patched!

    what is the bios range for the "Windows_Virtual_XP_F9161D8E7FCC11DDBFAA369856D8959 3" ?

    and is there a space between the 9 and 3 last digits or does it end 93

    000F908A, the spaces exist due to vBulletin text formatting

    @amiga
    Does patched x32 version boot, when you install for example Windows Loader on the VM?
    When i get home i will lookup the differences in x32 and x64 and try to make a patch that fits both (if possible)

    I usualy use RW-Everything, but HWDirect works exactly the same ;)

    hi atreyu, i'm asking if it would not be better to add and extra information as extension pack to vm configuration that let the user to choose the bios he need. then modify devacpi and recompile the to refer to the vm configuration. i'm working on the extension.

    Hi,

    About a month ago, I posted a feature request for an SLIC passthrough to the VirtualBox bug tracker. I went with the legitimate angle of a "passthrough", because the Windows 7 license allows one to run Windows on a machine either virtually or on bare metal. If I missed something important, please add your thoughts!

    To anyone reading this thread on how to patch vboxdd2.dll please note that the 64 and 32bit versions have different strings that need replacing to achieve ms xpmode activation this has been so since version 4.1.0 of vbox

    look back at atreyu's post and download the windows_kit.7z
    the xls is in the kit package.
