Meaning - if its an old key, lets say issued with SP1, then most of the time you cant use a XP Pro OEM With SP3 - it wont accept it, even though its legal and legit. You have to use a SP1 CD, then upgrade the service packs. A real PITA Had that happen the other day :annoyed: I got the whole lot SP1 - SP3 But not to sure where to upload to, so you can download. My upload speed is not exactly fast from my server. ( its not meant to be)	wainuitech (129)
1188771	2011-03-23 21:09:00	You can convert VL media to OEM. I had to do something like this the other day with Server 2003 media - wainui knows all about that :D Copy the entire contents of the VL CD to a temp folder on the HDD. Browse to the i386 folder and look for a file called setupp.ini. See here for more info: www.thetechguide.com Basically remove the last 3 digits of the PID and replace with OEM. Once you've done that you could try and burn back to a CD but that takes too long and can be a pain trying to make it bootable. I just used this: www.datafilehost.com to create a bootable USB stick, makes the install much faster.	CYaBro (73)
1188772	2011-03-23 22:19:00	Yeah it's safer to change your VLK media type than it is to try and find a matching "media", because there's multiple types of OEM Keys / media. HP / Compaq OEM, IBM OEM, Toshiba OEM, Generic OEM, Acer OEM etc etc ....	Chilling_Silence (9)
