Ok, I read the article. So it won't work because wpa.dbl also contains a serial based on the partition and if you format it, it doesn't match.
I got my laptop preinstalled, so it's probably oem, allthough there wasn't any other software on it but drivers. I do not have a cd or recovery partition. So what I did is I downloaded xp home and formatted and installed, then activated using the internet. So is it still oem now, or does it change to normal? Can I back up this activation or do I need to use dos programs to check the partition serial like in the artical?

Ok, so how do I automatically activate it? I don't have an active internet connection at the time of activation. Will the OEMBIOS method work now I activated it myself. (So it is not activated by OEM supplier)

Hi there,
I'n trying to activate my laptop by copying the the WPA.DBL file to the $OEM$\$$\system32 folder. The guide says that's all there is to it. Even though it doesn't work for me. Right before the first logon Windows shows a message that it should be activated before logging on. When I click yes, it logges on and starts installin all programs I prepared for runonceex. Once in Windows I can activate using the internet but ofcourse that's not my intention. I formatted and activated my laptop before and I used that wpa.dbl file. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

It's a Haier w30. Does that make it OEM?
