Djé Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 @FreeStyler, thanks for the files.A question though,Your files are for XP pro, aren't they?Because, the Toshiba & Compaq ones have different md5 sums than mines on my XPhome systems.Corollary: wouldn't it be useful to collect also the XP home files? or am I missing something?

Djé Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 The files are interchangable between Home and Pro.Even though they have different md5 hash and XP home and Pro are using different ProductID?So the OEMBIOS.* files are not related to the ProductID? They are 2 different locks (at least on XP home where the ProductID seems to be more specific)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeStyler Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) As Bezalel told...both are interchangable between Home and Pro, just try and see for yourself Edited June 20, 2006 by FreeStyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 2 different locks (at least on XP home where the ProductID seems to be more specific)?I've used a number of OEMBIOS files collected from Home Edition to install Pro, this is part of my upgrade procedure. In fact I can upgrade from Home to Pro using the bits from evaluation media and still maintain preactivation and pass WGA. (I will not publish a tutorial so don't even ask.) I never saw the need to use Pro OEMBIOS files to install Home so I never tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
