    some info to wow7 pre-release
    -it doesn't work at all PCs
    -your OS will be activated, it's a real OEM_SLP activation, no fake activation
    -you may use retail OR OEM version of W7, both are working
    -frankenbuild OSes are NOT supported

    -install WoW7 to THE ROOT DIRECTORY WHERE THE HIDDEN FILE BOOTMGR IS LOCATED!!!
    -don't forget to apply the HP certificate and the W7 ultimate SLP serial using the slmgr commands


    Any feed back for improvement is welcome...

    I've tried installing this every which way imaginable on my laptop, and all I get is the blinking _, so I guess my system is one not supported yet...

    Yeah same, the command wouldn't work so my OS wouldn't boot. I give up, just going to wait for a proper win7 loader to come out. Now i have to format again.

    but you changed C: in the command with the correct path example slmgr -ilc B:\HPQOEMSLIC-MPC.XRM-MS b: if you named the hidden partition B: :confused:

    I fixed my system, there is no need to format, just put Win7 DVD in and start the CMD then type:

    c: (hit enter)

    then

    bootsect /nt60 c: (hit enter and restart)

    this should fix your OS

    WoW7 uses grub bootloader. Grub doesn't work at every PC and may hang at boot!!!
    I'll update wow7 soon with latest grub....
    How to simply uninstall WoW if your system doesn't boot:

    Use recovery DVD, access your partition and run unistall.bat.
    No need to get angry....

    If you read on the first page there are instructions on how to remove WOW.

    On laptops/notebooks you've probably got multiple partitions. If there's
    a partition at the start that's type 0x27, then it's a hidden Recovery partition
    that may even be the active one..

    WOW is a great way for you to activate & experiment without you modding your bios...
