You're talking about a warez edition but since you seem to want something legal, I think we can speak go on.


Do you have oembios* files in i386 folder ?
is there a file called last session.ini or so on the CD ?
Is there a nlite.inf/nlite.in_ in i386 ?
Maybe it's corporate edition (not regular).


Why not instead port the additions from this windows edition to your own-made CD ?
What other folders do you have on the root of your CD ? $OEM$ ?
Is there a cmdlines.txt in this $OEM$ folder ?

firstly sorry if i have some how crossed the line of rules with this topic!

yes i have the oembios files in i386
no, no last session.ini
no, no nlite
yes there is cmd lines
other folders include
$OEM$
cmpnents
I386

Ihave looked on microsoft website and it states to go to : All programs > accessories> system tools > activate windows

but its not like that!
