Thank you for your response. I have downloaded the OEMBIOS files, obtained the SLP. But honestly not sure what I am supposed to do. Can you please advise or direct me to where a lot more detailed instructions are given as to how to use this information towards creating unattended activation.

Thank You! I will try the OEMScan method. How/ Where do I get the slp Product Key for Dell?

Hi, I have a Dell PC with XP Pro Pre-installed. Over years, I have changed the Harddisk, RAM, DVD Drive, BIOS, CMOS Battery, etc. After every reformat, I call up Microsoft and ask them to activate my PC which they have been kind enough to oblige, so far. Since I have long crossed the automatic activation method counts. Recently, I learnt about nLite and UA Installation and I created a great UA CD for my PC. However, I am not able to make it activate automatically. I tried both the methods - Backup Activation Method & OEMBIOS Method, provided in Guide To UnAttended Windows Installation Can somebody please guide me how to get this going or tell me where I going wrong? After the most recent activation (3 Days Ago) through telephone, I have copied and kept separately WPA.DBL & WPA.bak and OEMBIOS.BIN, OEMBIOS.CAT, OEMBIOS.DAT & OEMBIOS.SIG. Thank for your help in Advance! Mahesh Kumar

I am trying to integrate Office 2003 with all updates to a WinXP unattended install. I am using RunOnceEx.cmd to integrate my apps into XP. I created a unattended Office 2003 as explained in the unattended.msfn.org site i.e first create Admin Install, then SP3 and then updates! When when I integrated it with Wip XP RunOnceEx.cmd, it gave an error "Insert MS Office 2003 CD" and gets stuck there! Please advice how to solve this problem!
