zshadow Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 is my cd key located in WINNT.SIF? I have a regular copy of XP pro and I was wondering if the key I have in WINNT.SIF on my oem copy is my key and if I can use it on a regular XP pro disc (so slipstreaming will work)?

erp Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 The key will work if both are XP Pro. Try ViewKeyXP to get yours. ViewKeyXP.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfWar Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Most copies of Windows from a manufacture such as DELL have special keys and can only be used with a manufacture CD... You can try, but I doubt it will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorSA Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 If you have an OEM CD from Dell, then I would suggest trying the slipstream ... But if it fails ... Just do a clean install with the original CD, then install SP2 asap ... Then all of your other apps ... This is just as good as a slipstream ... Well, nearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
