    Yes, I forgot to mention it's a Windows XP Professional license. I tested the notebook with OEMBIOS tool now, it shows two F: lines with BIOSes from both Compaq and HP and says "the above OEMBIOS set(s) should preactivate Windows XP on this system. So I guess now I have to either find a clean OEM Windows XP pro ISO, or find a clean ISO of another type and turn it into an OEM. In the past I had no trouble finding clean ISO downloads from digitalriver, I can't seem to find them any more...

    L.E. And no, I don't have the original Windows installed on it.

    WARNING N00B QUESTION

    Ok, how can I properly activate XP that has no OEMBIOS set. I have installed XP with all updates, and used the "AntiWGA" that comes with "OEMBIOS tool" but I still get a warning. I renamed the corresponding files so I don't get the annoying popup, but I have no wallpaper :mad2:


    Please help this n00b :worthy:

    EDIT: Forgot to say the MoBo is a AOpen MX4LR

    Using AntiWGA/AntiWPA isn't recommended. Add SLP string via DMI editing & activate by OEM:SLP method.

    Hello.

    So i'm trying to install windows xp home sp3 fr into virtualbox (4.3.12) and have it activated.

    I downloaded OEM Bios Test, created a new vm
    Then I tried (found after a lot a search)

    Code:
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSVendor" "Dell Inc." 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSVersion" "1.0.3" 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSReleaseDate" "06/20/2008" 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSReleaseMajor" 2 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSReleaseMinor" 1 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSFirmwareMajor" 2 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSFirmwareMinor" 1 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemVendor" "Dell Inc." 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "Vostro 410" 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "<EMPTY>" 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial" "DJX9DH1" 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemUuid" "44454C4C-4A00-1058-8039-C4C04F444831" 
    VBoxManage setextradata "OEM Bios Test" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemFamily" "" 
    
    But :

    Code:
    Windows XP OEMBIOS Test v1.1/382/127
    None of the 127 contained OEMBIOS sets will preactivate this system
    
    What can I do ?

    Thanks
