    That's what you get for trying to download files with an Android to use on a PC... have you tried installing the official Mega app? (I don't own one so I never tried it)

    I have a laptop, ok? But i'm always downloading files, softwares through my Blackberry Phone first, then i'll move it to my laptop :)
    I want to download it to test Windows XP in Virtual Machine << for old softwares :D

    How about "Mirrorcreator" with "Zippyshare", "4shared", "Solidfiles", "Tusfiles" and "Dropbox" as the hosting sites :worthy:

    Hello sorry to bother people, i have searched this thread, but no result,

    i installed xp sp3 vlk untouched imaged from gogle group download link on here, works perfect, md5 check was correct

    used key from google

    i have loaded up oem bios test, but i am presented with 2 sets of .cat files

    F: Acer Incorporated oembios.cat crc32=717b6ef3

    F: Genuine c&c inc oembios.cat crc32=8b2ebecb

    is there any particular reason why there are two options?, if so which would .cat oem bios file should i actually change to?

    The Acer one is proper SLP string & the Genuine one most probably comes from 'Genuine Intel' string used by Intel. You can, however, use any OEMBIOS set between these two.

    Thanks tito,

    ran into a little problem, if you or anyone could give me a hand

    on the instructions

    with the 0em bios changer it says


    1. Extract OEMBIOS Changer to any Drive (In this example C:\)
    2. Extract the Extract Uncompressed OEMBIOS file set which was previously downloaded to OEMBIOS changer\Uncompressed Oembios Folder (In this example C:\OEMBIOS changer\Uncompressed Oembios Folder)
    3. Run the OEM.exe file in OEMBIOS changer folder. (In this example C:\OEMBIOS changer\OEM.exe)
    4. Press Any Key
    5. Press 5 and Enter
    6. Press 3 and Enter
    7. Select the option according to your Windows XP Edition and Press Enter
    8. Press Y and Enter

    however on step 6 when pressing option 3 and getting to the end it says owmbios.cat is missing

    i notice my files are nnamed oembios.ca, i assume i could put these in the compressed folder?

    but on the instructions here The-Windows-XP-Repository thread

    it says Uncompressed only. Compressed file set are for those who are still to install Windows XP)



    however the files i have downloaded, seem to be in a compressed format even when downloaded/extracted?


    any help would be greatly appreciated!


    regards

    Compressed files (BI_ CA_ DA_ SI_) are usually for those who want to add them to a CD/ISO. Uncompressed files (BIN CAT DAT SIG) are better for post-installation replacement. You can use both sets with OEMBIOS changer, just place them in the compressed/uncompressed folder according to the ones you have.

    Thanks johnye, thats what i thought

    but the files on the [h=2]The Windows XP OEMBIOS Archive thread, (cant post link)[/h]
    are zipped up in the compressed way, so the resources are actually compressed?


    unless im looking in the wrong direction for the uncompressed files?


    anyhelp would be appreciated?

    if not, i will place in the compressed folder, but its just i wanted to follow instructions to a tee

    kind regards

    If you have a ZIP/RAR/7z archive, extract it. If you get BI_ CA_ DA_ SI_ files, put them in the compressed folder. If you get BIN CAT DAT SIG files, put them in the uncompressed folder.

    From your list I don't have these ones but they're redundant on 1st page:
    Code:
    0378CC4EWinXPSystemax
    0B909427WinXPNEC/Packardbell
    63875D1FWinXPDell
    91F00D40WinXPRoverBook
    B20C65BFWinXPAsus
    E4143622WinXPToshiba
    F08705E9WinXPSony
    
    These 2 I also don't have, they're also on 1st page but mentioned as redundant on pages 36, 37 and/or 47:
    Code:
    3BA155E1WinXPHP (on first page)
    A5E32571WinXPCompaq (on first page)
    
    These 7 I don't have, could they have become redundant somewhere along the line?
    Code:
    0344BCA3WinXPSiemens PG
    03C3F848WinXPMPC
    CC6CB12C2003HP/Compaq
    D05D250EWHSHP/Compaq
    D107C3EA2003R2HP/Compaq
    F35DA4D22003IBM
    FBE12C4BWHSHP/Compaq
    
    Other than that, I have the same sets on your list :D

    The links for the OEMBIOS set at both Mega and Skydrive in the original post are dead so could someone revise this post with valid links so we don't have to search through dozens of pages looking for alternative links? I eventually found links to the OEMBIOS set at Solidfiles on page 73.
