Win 8.x • Win 7 • Vista - 'Multi-OEM' ISO Project

aww thats no good. But unfortunately it happens. I have had all pitbulls, around 15 of them- around 2-3 at a time.. They all have died- still have one of the oldest, sassy is around 9 in human years. This one, CoCo, dunno how old she is

 

Hello and good to see you again Searchengine. I own a Rott and a German Sheppard....best home security a person could ever ask for. Hope you are doing good. Have a good evening/morning depending on where in the world you live. lol

Weird how that happens. I have never had to use a EI.CFG to reinstall Windows 8 on OEM laptops. I wonder what causes that to happen where it doesn't pull the key automatically.

 

Hello sir, I tried following the instruction, I got sony win 7 home premium OA, and I downloaded win 7 here in the forum because I dont have any recovery disk, but when trying to install it, it stay on black screen with cursor after loading files and win7 logo show up. Any help?

 

run the $oem$-Assessment' tool and post results please.

 

I cant even boot my laptop sir, I just donwloaded the files on the other computer and then added it on the ISO file and did a bootable usb.

 

I am confused personally on this. There is no way that this project can ruin your installation....if nothing else it wont be activated or have oem branding and theme is all. I would check hashes on that iso you got to see if it match microsofts iso hashes. I got my win 7 from digitial river.

 

I just tested the original and my modified version and both install in vmware but of course no activation but it did brand for vmware. I have been using this on my machine and my wife without any issue (both are win 7) oem activates and installs branding and theme.

 

I also got mine on digital driver sir, can you link me on the win7 you tested and I will add the $oem$ folder on the iso. Is the win7 you got equals to the win7 home prem OA?

Thanks

 

did you put the $oem$ folder in the sources folder of the win 7 iso and save it? It has to be in correct location in order to see it but it still wouldnt break the installation. I unlocked all versions on my iso by editting the ei.cfg file so I can pick any version I wish on the iso. Digital river isnt OA but retail....this project makes it oem if you have windows 7 slic in your bios and is in the list which most are.

Also if using ultra iso to save the iso I would uncheck under config/save and uncheck everything in that tab and hit ok. I have found if left checked by default it will not save the iso correctly for installations.

Also maybe a corruption while downloading the iso from digit river......it happens.

 

@ cerberus8855, there is nothing wrong on the $oem$ folder side I just installed on a real machine the other day no problems at all.

 

I agree urie....I feel this is more of a corrupted iso more then anything or maybe some hardware failed on that machine.

 

Yeah anything but MagicISO as we have found out over the years seems to be a bad culprit for failed ISO or cd/dvd installations.

 

tried it using PowerIso burned it on DVD instead of USB Sir, but the same problem occured. I guess my hard drive is the problem.

 

Has anyone tried this in 8?
