Trying to make IBM (Lenovo) OEM CD

[druiddk]

Hi!

We bought some IBM T43 laptops with XP Pro license from IBM.

However they only come with some rescue CD's and those are useless to me (Ghost install baaah!).

Can I somehow modify a OEM cd into accepting the IBM oem license from the sticker on the laptop?

Actually I can use a standard XP PRO OEM cd with the IBM cdkey to install... however when it wants to activate Windows it rejects the cdkey.

Take a look at http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=63258 I wrote these scripts specificly for your situation.

BTW The COA-Key is useless unless you want to call MS every time you install. You need to extract IBM's Factory-Key.
