    Its just a file, wont remove anything, it will just make you able to install any version you want.

    Hi
    I have a question
    i made a AIO dvd using DKane guide and i put in sources folder $$oem$$ for oem activation
    today i installed os in system with asus M4A87TD/usb3 mb
    all worked fine and logo asus was added but os wasn't activated (you have three days to activate and no genuine logo in properties)
    what happen? have i supposed that AMI bios isn't 2.1 slic?
    is it possible know which slic has a bios whitout using the tool?

    Depends on, try update with new firmware from asus website. Not all comes with SLIC 2.1
    Slic dumptoolkit will tell you what slic your bios has.

    Silect activation is fully possinle yea, if you only want windows loader you can use setupcomplete.cm (the read me file)
    But i dont know if theres any "dos" utilities.

    Thanks for the reply, I was aware of that fact, but still need to know if I do create a All version disc by removing the file, will I still be able to access the recovery function ?and will it still function as a upgrade disc...?
    As the last time I created an AIO ( mind you it was x86+x64) the recovery did not work or upgrade)

    Thanks.

    Thats why you create a full AIO using DKane's guide:) If you have it will work.

    1. Download one of them (#1 recommended)
    2. Unpack $OEM$ to DVD\Sources.
    3. Create new ISO if you want unless you copy to USB.

    It should look like this:
    DVD Root\Sources\$OEM$

    Thanks for the quick response. I did exactly as you wrote. After I installed win7 says "three days to activate your copy" Many thanks

    You should try the toolkit without any activation first. Remove all that/revert tot rial period.

    Are you certain you have slic 2.1 bios, this is why it would of been a good idea to run the slic dump tool first? im sure HP are quite stingy at giving bios updates to 2.1 (was it a bios mod) or did your pc come with windows 7 ?, ive got three HP pc's and never had an official Bios update for 2.1. Can you post here your pc specs ? Thanks bro ;)
