Dual boot w/ WinXP followed by Win7 using .wim
maxXPsoft replied to eristic1's topic in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2

You have to call and activate because yours is an OEM:COA. then you can backup with a smalll program Token Restore from here http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/11130-Paymyrent-Token-restore-for-mak-keys-and-retailall it does is save 2 files from an activated PC and your install key You could have saved the OEM certificate from an original computer but not now -
This what worked for me on the U3 usb drives. I can instantly open them after disabling. Power users will want to disable the Sharing Wizard.
