nothing to rename then? There are these two files (pidgen.dll and dpcdll.dl_) in the " IP " folder of the expanded xp sp3. So there is nothing to rename then , just take them as they are and one should be ready to go. Excellent ,thanks again Yen. .Oh !! I have a question , do you think this method would work with Win2k3 ??.
I never worked with WIN2K3. AFAIK there is no SLP activation which asks for a special string at physical memory. Is there a WPA at all? Or do you just need a right key?
Anybody managed to get Asus OEM CD working? I got the files from the link few pages up (also torrented already made OEM CD with SP3) ASUS_FLASH in every DMI bit required & it is still not activated Thanks for help guys & girlz sebus
ASUS_FLASH string is not valid at DMI area. Therefore you need a biosmod, or another OEM such as HP, which is valid at DMI area!
No, Yen said that DMI area is : But ASUS slp range is : So if you put 'ASUS_FLASH' in DMI area, this not work. Put on another string like "HP" that work in DMI area or mod your bios !
I see my HP OEM guide i made years ago is still being used..kool. I also saw in another thread about not using OEMBIOS.CAT. Ive always added OEMBIOS.CAT and NEVER had any "issues" activating. The CRC values they use on the MSFN site are from each OEMBIOS.CAT so why would they do that if each isnt of any importance as a matching set? If you mean this as converting a vlk source to a oem disk.. it can be done. Ive converted the Vortex VLK iso to OEM Pro a few times as i liked the modded shell files. The only differnce from a VLK and Retail disk are the "corp files" and the SETUPP.INI settings that im sure everyone is aware of. If you can convert a Retail Pro disk to a VLK disk then you can certainly convert it back to retail by reversing the steps and then just add the needed OEMBIOS files and SLP keys for PRO OEM edition along with setting up the SETUPP.INI file.
Dutch Hoi, DO YOu Already Know How To Do Without Clean Install ? If You Do Let Me Know. I Would Be Thankfull GrtZZZZ
ASUS or ASUS_FLASH I have the modded bios's for my (soon to arrive) Asus P5Q Deluxe mobo. There have been modded as follows SLP1 : ASUS_FLASH SLP2 : ASUS For Vista i will use VOATK same as for current mobo. For XP the Asus OEMBIOS pack is complete, ready to copy, the Asus_flash OEMBIOS pack just has the four files and even though i have spent hours searching i am still confused about the exact method. Hence will the Asus OEMBIOS work on Asus_flash, or must it be the OEMBIOS pack specific to Asus_flash? Will these OEMBIOS packs work on XP Pro x64 as long as i change the product key.
Change manufacturer on working pc. I am building a new pc soon. I have the modded bios for my new mobo. I would like to test my new XP cd's using, say, vmware. Problem, new pc's bios have been modded for SLP1 with ASUS_FLASH. My current pc has bios modded to Hewlett-Packard, i followed Chainsore's method, worked great. If i use DMICFG and mod my AWARD bios to ASUS_FLASH and replace OEMBIOS.BIN, OEMBIOS.CAT, OEMBIOS.DAT, OEMBIOS.SIG with ASUS_FLASH versions, reboot, will it work?
