I tried downloading it from hotfile and from the storage link, also from internet explorer because I usually use Google Chrome and I'm still getting the same error when I try to unzip it using winrar. "C:\Documents and Settings\Nikki\Desktop\MultiXP_SP3\MultiXP_SP3.part2.rar: CRC failed in MultiXP_SP3.iso. The file is corrupt" Any ideas?
Could be the browser, ram memory or the file itself.. I suggest you go to my skydrive and download the $OEM$ folder only or try download it again to some other place or from another computer. And from there just put it in root of xpcd folder, create your own iso and your good to go. Link is on previous page
Sorry for late reply. Yes its a false positive. I just compressed the $OEM$ folder from the creators link and uploaded it. You can download the both and compare sha-1 values with eachother, they should match!. Fail at me.. Seems to be updated from 1.0.1 to 1.4.1 (Taskfore 141 anyone?) so i will update my link tomorrow. Edit: Part2.rar from hotfile seems to be corrupt while part1.rar works fine
Sorry been away some time and now i have some wierd problems login on forum. Meanwhile i managed to reduce the ISO size to almost 650MB to fit into a CD, i will update the first page soon.
I know what i can safely remove And i know i probably never ever will use/install xp on any of my or my friends computers again
Hi, Thanks; I downloaded your ISO - works perfectly. Though I made for my use some small modifications: I have removed: DOTNETFX and cmpnents folders and from I386 folder I have removed also: WIN9XMIG WIN9XUPG (I do not need win9 upgrades) and I have als removed SP2.CAB, since SP2 is already included in SP3 Then I used UltraISO and saved with Optimize, so it fits on a CD Thanks again Regards sedmi
Edit: Finished uploading the first part..which failed yesterday. 4 $oem$.rar are now uploaded. Note i havent altered anything at all!. I downloaded the xp_sp3.iso from the first post and compressed the $oem$ folder, thats all.
OK. I make working OEM CD WinXP SP2b PL LENOVO. I have question: Files OEMBIOS from this post have correct CRC32. I check on my friend netbook Lenovo IdeaPad S10e with WinXP Home SP3 PL in folder i386 on HDD file OEMBIOS.CAT is bad CRC (HashCalc). Check also other laptop ThinkPad X60 with WinXP Pro - file OEMBIOS.CAT also bad CRC ??? How to get files OEMBIOS from a laptop with the original WinXP or Recovery CD with the correct CRC32 ??
This script is nice but I have only WIM image of IdeaPad. Using 7-zip unpacked OEMBIOS.CAT from system32 and i386 (OEMBIOS.CA_). Both files have the same CRC=C9558E9A. The files (CRC) are the same as the CD WinXP Retail, OEM (Pro or Home), only in WinXP VLK OEMBIOS.CAT has other CRC=90BBDCA0
Well i think it is safe to assume that this particular system and/or recovery is not using OEM:SLP activation, but rather OEM:COA (which uses the retail oembios files)
I checked OEMBIOS.CAT remote on IdeaPad and CRC is correct 5237B729 (in system32 and i386)??? Is seems that OEMBIOS files are only correct CRC on real machine?? After copy image partition to another computer CRC is bad. IdeaPad use OEM:SLP key is DMY26-.....
