BTW, when I reinstalled XP after I got my new 8300 (to take all the bloat crap out they put in) I noticed that I didn't have to activate it afterwards. Someone mentioned on Dell's forum that it was because of a file on the OEM disk that pre-activates it. Will deleting those files interfere with that process?

I tried slipstreaming Dell OEM SP1a CD to SP2. Now, when I boot I get:

"File usbehci.sys is corrupt"

Any ideas anyone?

That sounds like a dirty/scratched CD or a bad download. Verify everything works individually and try again. I do not understand why people want to make slipstream CDs before they are sure their files are good. Install it first, then slipstream it, install it again if that's what you want.

hey is there a way to insert my own logo in the system properties? i saw that link for added the dell logo and wondered how i can do it for my self built pc.

yes you can put your own logo in the properties.. by following this info

Putting your Logo in System Properties

In order to do so, first you should create a Bmp file with, at most 170x110 pixels, containing your logo. After creating this file, save it in the directory c:\windows\system with the name Oemlogo.bmp.

Next, select the code below, and or edit it! :

[Version]

Microsoft Windows 2004

WinVer=2600.111111

[General]

Manufacturer=big pimp

Model=AMD BAD BOY

SupportURL=http://www.ms.com

[support Information]

Line1="Is your number still"

Line2="911"

Line3="Alrighty then"

(however many lines you want)

Save this file in c:\windows\system with the name Oeminfo.ini

ENJOY... as far as putting this on your boot disk.. im not sure...100percent

but i would think if you put it in the i386\system folder it would copy it

and everythingwould be fine

Ok here is the thing, slipstreaming sp2 into dell cds can give you a problem because they include hotfixes that auto install (its not the other stuff that makes sp2 not slipstream),

Steps to OEM Dell

1)go into I386

2)Delete SVCPACK Directory

3)Delete SVCPACK DL File

4)Delete SVCPACK.Inf file

5) Continue slipstream as normal

6)Copy my two files I posted to your i386 folder ( SVCPACK.DL_ and SVCPACK.IN_ in the zip, this will make sure you dont get that missing file error)

SVCPACK.zip

I've found that the hotfixes that are in the SVCPACK are also in the i386 folder itself should I delete them?

There are 4 sets of files that 'pre-activate' the system.

Files:

oembios.bin

oembios.sig

oembios.dat

oembios.cat

on startup check the BIOS for certain tests. If the test passes it loads with no activation. If the test fails it asks you to activate. These files are customized by Microsoft per the request of the royalty OEMs.

Go here to get the logo and instructions

useless info! I provided the files for some of them dell files :ninja:

I've finished slipstreaming manually which worked fine now i have a WIN51IC.SP1 and win51ic.SP2 can i delete the WIN51IC.SP1 and only keep the win51ic.SP2 only or do i require both as the cd had been slipstreamed with SP1a?
