Hi mates, I have Acer windows 8 x64 bits system, how to extract the OEM information and where to put it in ???? any advice please
I do have a windows 8 pc, I just create a copy of my recovery partition into a usb device, but in the sources folder I only got install.swm, install1.swm, install2.swm -->>install7.swm dunno how to extract them !!! Thant was from Acer laptop windows 8 x64.
Thanks mate, I will try it now and report back Ok, I got 7zip I copied install.swm to another dir then I opened it with 7zp and I copied all dir inside to another dir I only got 2 folders 1 and 2 (name of folders) Now What I should look for to get oem information that can be used to make an oem windows8! the rest of install.swm files contain only files like 0 1 2 etc.... How I should convert install.swm to make a windows 8 dvd Thank you in advance mate
I did the DISM command above and I got all files and folders (21GB) but there is no .wim files, it is like after installing windows I got same files and dir what I should look for to get OEM information that help making a OEM dvd?
Recovery dvd's or folder are completely different from Manufacturer OEM installation DVD it will contain $OEM$ folder in sources. Recovery DVD or Folder is usually just and image if your System. You can check windows\ system32\ and see if there is a oobe or oem or pather folder you will need to set folder option to show hidden files and folders.
you right urie, all .swm files are a image of my system of how it looks(should be) after installation. I have oobe and OEM system32 and Panther is in windows folder
I used the 32 bit version of the lenovo archive posted above along with a windows 8 pro + WMC iso I created with the Windows Download Integrator tool using a WMC addon key that you can get for free on MS's website and surprisingly upon first boot windows 8 was activated on my lenovo ideapad netbook.. not sure if this was a fluke/something that MS has fixed by now... going to try it again tonight and will post results
I think that the one who uploaded Lenovo iso has another post that the information are wrong, is it wrong or not?
That also happened to me in a VM, activated upon boot and is still activated. I tried to install it a couple weeks later but looks as if the CD-Key is blocked now. The unattended.xml in the Lenovo archive file contains a CD-Key used as a default product key to be used with OEM Activation 3.0 for Windows 8 Pro.
i have two folders Recovery folder contains: WinUCRD.Wim WinRe Folder WinRe: contains file called : AddDiagnosticsToolToBootMenuwhere can i find those info,i have a new HP laptop! i managed to copy the recovery partition to external HDD, can i do something with this ti copy the $OEM$ folder? or to check the Retail key?
Why bother? All my HP machines have the logos in "C:\ProgramData\Images" Just copy this folder. It contains all the images in Properties, MC and User Tile. The wallpapers are located in "C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper". It's just the "reg file" which is missing but as it is based on Windows 7, there's plenty of them. Just share the ProgramData\Images folder and that's it! Thanks
My mistake, the complete path is C:\ProgramData\Hewlett-Packard\Images The user tile is located at C:\ProgramData\HP\User Here are the Compaq images in a windows 8 machine View attachment 20962
can you also upload theese folders windows\help --- this help folder windows\web\wallpapers --- the wallpaper folder windows\system32\OOBE\info ----- the info folder
Hi all, Im looking for a windows 8 oem core iso for Acer, pref. Dutch. The recovery partitions got deleted and the reseller didnt provide any media with the laptop. I hope to reinstall and that it will pick up the key in the bios. Kind regards, Kami.
