December 22, 200619 yr Hi all,I bought brand new HP laptop last week and it came with MCE2005 w/o OS CDs. so I been surfing web on how to create OS cd from i386 folder. after searching several forums, finally I made CD by following these steps. -dumpted ALL files from both retail MCE2005 CDs into C:\MCECD. -replaced i386 folder in C:\MCECD with i386 folder from my HP Laptop. -using NLITE created bootable DVD about 900MB without any adding or removing of components/programs.-burned that ISO to DVD-installed MCE2005 successfully using newly created DVD. -product key from label attached on bottom of my laptop worked during installation. (SO HAPPY)now comes my question...would product activation work? It's not illegal key that I am using so it should work but what's your thought on this?thank you very much for any input.
December 23, 200619 yr may be Ur Product key has been stolen and activated by someone before ur purchasing date.
December 25, 200619 yr now comes my question...would product activation work? It's not illegal key that I am using so it should work but what's your thought on this?Phone activation should work but online activation will be blocked. For a better method see Building a Pre-activated CD from an existing installation and OEMBIOS Repository.
