I've put together two files that can be used to make a pre-activated CD if all you got with your computer is a restore CD you will also need access to an OEM hologram CD for the rest of the files. Put the following files in the same folder getfiles.bat CODE attrib -s %SystemRoot%\system32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\OEMBIOS.CAT makecab %SystemRoot%\system32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\OEMBIOS.CAT attrib +s %SystemRoot%\system32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\OEMBIOS.CAT makecab %SystemRoot%\system32\OEMBIOS.BIN makecab %SystemRoot%\system32\OEMBIOS.DAT makecab %SystemRoot%\system32\OEMBIOS.SIG cscript //nologo getkey.vbs > winnt.sif getkey.vbs CODE Dim objFS, objShell Dim strXPKey Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") strXPKey = objShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName") If Len(strXPKey) > 0 Then WScript.Echo "[UserData]" WScript.Echo "ProductKey=" & chr(34) & GetKey(objShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId")) & chr(34) WScript.Echo "[Data]" WScript.Echo "MSDosInitiated=0" WScript.Echo "UnattendedInstall=Yes" End If Function GetKey(rpk) Const rpkOffset=52:i=28 szPossibleChars="BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789" Do dwAccumulator=0 : j=14 Do dwAccumulator=dwAccumulator*256 dwAccumulator=rpk(j+rpkOffset)+dwAccumulator rpk(j+rpkOffset)=(dwAccumulator\24) and 255 dwAccumulator=dwAccumulator Mod 24 j=j-1 Loop While j>=0 i=i-1 : szProductKey=mid(szPossibleChars,dwAccumulator+1,1)&szProductKey if (((29-i) Mod 6)=0) and (i<>-1) then i=i-1 : szProductKey="-"&szProductKey End If Loop While i>=0 GetKey=szProductKey End Function Getfiles.bat will generate 5 files to be placed in the i386 directory of your CD. the files are: OEMBIOS.BI_ OEMBIOS.CA_ OEMBIOS.DA_ OEMBIOS.SI_ winnt.sif This post has been edited by Bezalel: Mar 24 2006, 04:34 AM |

i have a little problem and wonder if this method could help, i have a HP LS1200 MCE system which went bang due to my kids and putting/spilling a drink on it as my system is dead and out of warrenty i was wondering could i use a method like this to use my recovery disk on another machine as i like MCE2005 ? i know the hardware would be different but is it possible as i own the software could i bastardise it to use on another machine ? if it is possible could someone explain in plain laymens terms how im not too clued up on this sort of thing |
