Hello there felows!! First of all, Sorry for my poor English. Sorry if there is an answer for my question, but I haven't found it after a week of researching. System: Dimension E520 Bios 2.4 updated. Came with Windows Vista Home Basic PT-BR COA and CD Recovery Mother with floppy capable (that is OK working fine for Sata drivers) We need Windows XP Pro for personal reasons Bought a FPP License which came with a CD and COA. Windows XP Pro CD SP2 (That is the problem) We use the system with RAID set with 2 HD drives. (That is OK working fine) Problem: When trying to install Windows SP2 got blue screen, a litlle after loading sata drivers step, which for this system is ICH8R/ICH9R Solution: Install Windows XP with SP3. (need to use floppy with the sata drivers yet Thats OK Works fine) Works like a charm!! Problem: When integrate SP3 to the SP2 Windows CD, the license will not work any more. I did Call to Microsoft support, got "We do not support Windows XP any more sorry" Question: What kind of ISO with SP3 do I need to get to use my own license key? OEM VLK SLP ? Which one? And where can I get it?(Link) If some one knows that, Will be very appreciated. I really appreciate any tip!! EdioIlha
Hey urie Thank you so much for clarification!! I know there is a pinned topic for making OEM cd. But is there a strait forward to make a DELL OEM CD as I have just a VLK CD installation in my hand. I have tried the BIOSChanger and it worked fine. The BIOS CRC is B6F0EEFD What do I need to make a CD and avoid to use any third party tool? Thank you for any direction. EdioIlha
I don't think there is a Windows Xp Pro PT-BR delta file available also another reason I posted links to the Dell deltas rather than making up an oem:slp cd (which is easy enough to do ) is because dell disks have sata drivers integrated if you can get hold of Windows Xp Pro PT-BR cd then you can use BTS driver packs to add your drivers.
Hey urie!! Thank you again for helping me here. As you already helped me along time ago!! Sorry for asking such dumb questions, but as you already know I'm not expert as you and others here are! I have read the posts over there-forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/22945-Windows-XP-Archive-%28Genuine-ISO%29/page14?p=551065#post551065, but could not find the pt-brDell cd, just en as I believe stands for English version. Is that right? If so I would like to share it when I have it. What is the best way to do that, to avoid braking rules here in the forum and rules in mediafire. Is it piracy sharing a DellCd? Thank you so much
urie, thank you again, also thanks for been so patience with me!! So the delta files are extracted from a legit windows xp dell cds? is that right? What do I need to make a legit delllcd is: - Have the delta.DELTA file made for some one like this shared by sebus:-forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/22945-Windows-XP-Archive-(Genuine-ISO)/page15?p=577548&viewfull=1#post577548 Which is for ENwinxpSP3 OEM-- version. And it will work just for that one. - Have the original ENwinxpSP3--OEM Windows xp iso - Have xdelta3-3.0.2-x86-32.exe in the same folder of xdeltaGUI.exe - Then make the OEM brended using xdeltasGUI I took a print for the process here, does it look good? delta.exe Iso and delta.delta Thank you again!!
If you get a dell cd, most likely its already going to be activated when you install it. Or use your cd and update to sp3 once installed
Try reading next time he could not install using his sp2 cd it did not have sata drivers where as sp3 did.
I can't install win xp professional sp3 on Dell latitude d630...Says that product key is wrong I've tried sp2 too-no changes... Could anyone advise what to do... Looking forward to reply.
Do you have the matching media for your key? If you have an OEM key, you need OEM install CD. Then there are FPP (Retail) and VLK (Volume), respectively.
