    Hi guys, i'm trying to understand OEM activation a bit better.
    Currently I'm try to figure out where the SLP string needs to be in RAM.

    f000,e000,2000,AcerSystem - Means the string AcerSystem needs to be between FE000 - FFFFF

    e000,0000,ffff,alienware - Means the string alienware needs to be between E0000 - EFFFF

    e000,e05e,,alienware - But what if size is missing?

    EC61,0091,,SNC302EEH - Or what if the first value is not E000 / F000 ?

    Anyone can explain the last 2 locations?

    Not sure about last two locations but alienware strings are.

    Code:
    ALIENWARE (OEMBIOS.CAT CRC32=CE524ABD)
    
    e000,e05e,,alienware
    f000,079f,,alienware
    f000,07b4,,alienware
    f000,0f66,,alienware
    f000,0f86,,alienware
    f000,1071,,alienware
    f000,1091,,alienware
    f000,10a9,,alienware
    f000,0000,ffff,alienware
    e000,0000,ffff,alienware

    Hi, new to the forum. I'm trying to create my own multi oem dvd but am having a problem with getting the oembios files. I can see them from the skydrive link but when I go to download it asks me to log in then it says the folders don't exist. What am I doing wrong? Thank in advance for any help.

    You cannot download them ALL at once and you will need to download around 4-5 at a time.

    It would be better to make a full list of all the sets (XP/2003) and then create a torrent. It will be easier to share and keep the links alive ;)

    I see what you mean, unfortunately I never got that one because it was marked as redundant (darn!).

    Since it will be difficult for new sets to appear, what we need now is an updated post with all sets' ranges/information, then ask a moderador to add a link to the updated post in the 1st post.

    without adding the SLP to the board, it will not matter if you have the MSI files or not. They are not present on factory boards.

    The MSI SLP address is very small and difficult to add on most bios.
