Thanx for the link,but how can i install and activate a genuine xp pro ,and which version should i install please guide ,I have flashed the dell mod now i am ready. .
You seriously need to read the posts in the top few threads, there is all the info you need. Install whichever version you like...
i compiled one oem cd but when installing it asks for cd key i supplied the dell xp pro key but it refuses as ,i have dell slp i inserted dell keys so what to do next,please help....
You need to make sure the setupp.ini pid is *****OEM. If it is VLK or Retail it will not accept the key. If it is SP3 do not enter key, it is not necessary. If you change the Setupp.ini, you can then make a .sif file to avoid the key input.
I created a pro oem slp cd with vlk pro sp3 cd from sticky thread ,how do i know that my xp is now genuine and ready for accepting updates i am confused,i can not see any slp 1.0 tab in rw everything is it normal please response... Now machine restarts in welcome screen please help....in xp..But boots nice in safe mode.
Yes i have inserted oembios file in to the disk , but the link you gave , had two differen DELLOEMBIOS which one to use 1.DellQ_87870F5A 2.Dell_B6F0EEFD and why does my pc restarts during boot in welcome screen.
Probably 2 and I dont know why it reboots, unless it throws an error about cant activate correctly. What did you do, there are thousands of reasons the OS will reboot..If you used a vlk install and a oem serial, it will not allow you into the OS..
You're missing those files in I386: SETUP.INI (example for Asus): WINNT.SIF (example for Asus): Without them your XP is still a VLK and won't let you pass the welcome screen. Try this tutorial: View attachment Create your own OEM manufacturer xp cd activated on your pc.zip
