Dell OEM activation

[Angelo Campitelli]

Hi Guys,

I want to make a distribution share from a Dell windows XP CD.

Just wondering if its possible to use the OEM BIOS activation method when
deploying windows from the distribution share.

Is this legal/possible to do it this way?. I tried using the OEM BIOS

I can't see why it wouldnt be legal. The source for the distrubtion share is
the origional cdrom and the oem activation will only activate dell pc's with
the right bios.

It will work, however, you'll have to manually enter each
individual Dell-provided Product Key and activate it manually.
