@MagicAndre1981: Thanks for your quick reply. But there is no $OEM$ folder on the Toshiba-Recovery-Disc. I used imagex to mount the generated install.wim. But could not find any folder named "$OEM$. I thing copying the OEM-Folder does not solve my problem. The reason why I am trying to generate an Vista-Installation Disc is that I want to exchange the windows-versions between my desktop and notebook. The desktop uses Windows XP (Full Version) and the Notebook came with Vista Home Premium (Toshiba OEM Recovery). Because Vista is very slow when using it on the notebook and I am building up a new Mediacenter-PC I want to exchange both licenses. Markus

I am trying to generate a new Vista-Installation-DVD with vLite. But 1.2rc und 1.1.6 are not able to generate the DVD. I always get an error. Copied 05856XSP.swm...05856XSP5.swm from Recovery-DVD to d:\source. Renamed to install.swm...install5.swm. Started vLite with d:\. vLite merges all swm-files to install.wim. Then vLite asks which operating system should be configured (WinRE Partition, Vista Partition). I choose Vista. Error: Error loading BOOT.WIM.

Is there any chance to generate a OEM-Installation-DVD from the Toshiba-Recovery-DVD? I am using Vista (MSDN) at work. But I heard that the MSDN-DVD will not work with my Toshiba-OEM-Key.
