Bezalel Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 Hi bezabelSorry for my bad english and for my newbie question, but I am confused.I had Samsung notebook with XP HOME. Manufacturer: Samsung Electronics Model: Aquila Slim Platform 53616D73 756E6720 456C6563 74726F6E 696373I had copy files created by CollectFiles.rar and the files from activation.rar to the $oem$ folder of the CD.I deleted OEMBIOS.BI_ OEMBIOS.DA_, OEMBIOS.SI_ from the CD and I removed all lines referencing any of the OEMBIOS files (including OEMBIOS.CAT) from txtsetup.sif and dosnet.inf.I had rebuild XP HOME CD. After install this to other pc still give me to activate. What is wrong?The contents of my $OEM$ directory is:53616D73756E6720456C656374726F6E696373.BIN53616D73756E6720456C656374726F6E696373.CAT53616D73756E6720456C656374726F6E696373.DAT53616D73756E6720456C656374726F6E696373.SIGcmdlines.txtCreateBatFile.vbsRestoreOEMFiles.batRestoreOEMFiles.tmpsmbios2.exeDoes your other computer also report "Samsung Electronics"?Where did you get the Key you used to install?Do the OEMBIOS files exist in your %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 directory?What message did you get when you tried to activate?

Randy Rhoads Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) I have been trying this and not having any success with an HP install. The HP machine came with XP Home installed ..drive crashed and lost all the original files and would like to create a restore disk for this machine with hotfixes and drivers. I used an OEM Dell Home cd with SP1 as my source. Below is what i have done to the cd.1. Slipstreamed to SP22. Copied over the svcpack folder and SVCPACK.INF file from an updated source so i wouldnt have to run all the integrate commands over.3. Copied the OEM files for HP inside the I386 folder.4. Used my custom Winnt.sif, which works fine on my retail source, with an HP SLP Home key.Using the disk setup completes with no issues. At 1st boot all i get is the XP logo screen and then the system restarts and keeps doing this over and over. Any suggestions? Edited July 3, 2006 by Randy Rhoads

Also be sure to test your CD between each step.
ZaForD Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Hi Randy,2. Copied over the svcpack folder and SVCPACK.INF file from an updated source so i wouldnt have to run all the integrate commands over.I'd leave out this step, to see if everyting eles works.
Randy Rhoads Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Thanks guys..i kinda thought the hotfix shortcut i took might be it but wanted to see if anyone has seen the disk do that if was something else.

ZaForD Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Hi Guys,I'm not sure if this a warning or question. I've read a few times in this thread that you can use a Pro OEMBIOS set on a Home install, and vice-versa.I myself have used a my Dell Pro set to install Home on an old Dimension testbox.Recently, I've been playing with a multi-boot disk, everything seemed fine till I tried the 'Hedy' set.They worked with the Home install, but failed on the Pro. Has anyone else come across this problem. I'm wondering, if its a case of the Pro sets will work on all installs, but the Home sets only work on Home.

Has anyone else come across this problem. I'm wondering, if its a case of the Pro sets will work on all installs, but the Home sets only work on Home.My experiance is that the files should be interchangable. Since almost everything in the thread is based on observation and not MS documentation and I don't have (and never even saw) a Hedy PC I can't offer any more advice. If you are sure that you built the CD correctly I will add a notice in my RapidShare Directory with your observations.
FreeStyler Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 I'm wondering, if its a case of the Pro sets will work on all installs, but the Home sets only work on Home.This might be the case for HEDY, allthough i seriously doubt it...Anyway i don't have a HEDY PC either, but from my own experiences with HP / MEDION OEM Media it works without issues, so either HEDY differs from the rest of the available oembios files, or maybe it is tighten to a specific serialnumber (doubt that too)
severach Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 Did you use the HEDY Pro Key instead of the Home Key?Did you install Pro and Home on two different computers? The reason is that up to 2005, most manufacturers had a single OEMBIOS.* file set for their entire line, and perhaps an extra one here or there for a wierdo model. Now some manufacturers are intentionally creating new OEMBIOS.* sets to distinguish XP product lines. You may be mistakenly thinking that your HEDY OEMBIOS set is good for all HEDY's when in it may only cover a limited set.Check the PIDs of your Product Keys to ensure they are HEDY's Royalty OEM?Hedy: XXXXX-OEM-0011903-00166
