Now we have to guess again because you didn't post the crc valuses and names. I have no idea what the fourth one would be. SLP will only be needed for XP installation using an HP SLP oem cd. As for recovery i have no idea probably motherboard serial number in DMi area why you are so insistant about pc recovery, all that does is add all the Bloatware that came with system unless it gives you choice to install OS system only.
The fourth one is 3BA155E1 Is it important which one? I have pavillion model a605x HP recovery self made disc is the only software with this computer when new I think. oembiostest says values may preactivate windows.
Why don't you actually try and see if the recovery works instead of asking questions that is the only way you will ever find out.
Does oembiostest Bootable ISO v1.1/281/112 show bios installed crc values? Where to find the other HP *.cat crc file sets? Is it important which one?
Well whats the point if it doesnt find out what crcvalues will activate your computer? It should do that.
Does oembiostest Bootable ISO v1.1/281/112 show bios installed crc values? Where to find the other HP *.cat crc file sets online. Is it important which one to install? crc32=00a1eecb 06d652a4 3ba155e1 cd4e1902 Is there a bios editor that shows?
I do think the two strings in green should cover all the memory addresses in the red ones. But to be honest I don't have enough knowledge about it I also noticed in slic dump toolkit Code: 000E0000 - 000EFFFF alienware 000F0000 - 000FFFFF alienware 000E0000 - 000EFFFF SNC302EEH 000F0000 - 000FFFFF SNC302EEH But DavidXXW could have just gotten the memory addresses from your oem oembios list on MSFN I don't know.
Yes, i also do believe all these extra entries are covered by the 2 listed, just wanted to make sure before i comment these extra line in oembios test tool. FYI, I also working on a oembios test tool for known Windows Server 2003 oembios sets
Please don't remove anything "redundant". It is not "redundant". If you have several sets of original recovery media and want to know which fit a system, ALL known sets should be included. Because ALL of them were put out as media at some point.
Thank you very much for the tool and thank you for the clarification! It sounded like you were doing something which you are obviously not.
Can we play the "help the idiot (me)" game please? Can i use the information from OEMBIOSTEST for Windows Xp 64bit or it will work only for 32 bit? I can see the sticky threads but they just show information, not explaining what it's for, and if it works for 64bit or not? Sorry for being stupid Right now i'm using SLIC modded bios and windows 7 with DELL keys, and i have windows XP 32bit CD with the (lol) MR49R key that always works. But I'm totally lost for Windows XP 64 bit. Can someone help out? I'm downloading the "en_windows_xp_professional_x64.sdc" file right now, i hope it will uncompress without problems. But aside from that, i have no idea what to do next. Will i be able to convert the iso from the .sdc to EOM and use the info from OEMBIOSTEST to mod it? Do i have to make a custom CD beforehand and then burn it and install it or i can do that after installing XP 64bit? Will XP 64bit update to sp2 with this method? Please help totally lost here All i want is windows xp 64 bit with EOM fix or something that works like the MR49R key for 32bit. help please ^^
@ livingwater, if your modded bios has the dell OEM SLP string added you can just install xp pro x64 and download dell oembios files and use VLK and OEMBIOS changer... to add you oembios files and dell x64 serial number.
