Ashimema Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Anybody know how to restore a Dell Reinstallation DVD to a standard installation disk, removing the crap from it including the Product Key, etc.I want to play with unattended installation using the "lowest common denominator" to start with. The OEM Reinstallation disk inputs keys and things for me, i wanted to do this for myself (mainly for the learning experience).Ash
Ashimema Posted August 25, 2007 Author Posted August 25, 2007 So far I've found this using Google, http://www.scriptcode.co.uk/dell_unattende...sta_oem_dvd.htmI've removed the entire contents of the OEM folder, and burned a new DVD using this, however the installation still doesn't ask my to insert a key and tries to activate (though it's not a networked box at the moment so can't)

Ashimema Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Cheers, that's done the trick. The PID was the only bit i had missed.
