torsion Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I am having a Laptop but it doesnt contain any preinstallation (OEM in the harddisk hidden partition). i want to make preinstallation so that in future there is no need to use XP cd for setup. and moreover the setup should start at startup by pressing a key F11 ( i saw this in IBM computer ).
