Win XP Activation problem after oobe removal

[efong]

Anyone have problems with Win XP activation after removing OOBE and integrating RyanVM updates using 1.0RC8.

I tried 1.0 Final with Win XP and this caused problems with Integrated SATA RAID which resulted in constant BSOD and reboots. This problem has been bugged and reported. RC8 doesnt have this problem.

oobe is needed for activation.....

yep, it sucks, but its true, OOBE is required for activation, unless its a corporate or DELL install. Its also a good idea to keep it if you plan on ever CHANGING your CD KEY.
