XP Disk

Lee H

Hi Guys

I am trying to make a new XP volume license disk its really pissin me off, my disk has gone awol and I even have 2, isnt losing CDs just so frikin ****, here is what I done so far

1. Downloaded setup files for XP
2. Edited the set-up.ini file to make it a volume license install (last 3 numbers 270)
3. Open Nero choosing CD-ROM BOOT
4. Copy over all the set-up files
5. Make the name of the disk VRMPVOL_EN
6. Click burn

Does that look sweet?

Then how is that something called Caldera loads up to an A promt

Then I retry removing emulation to A: and it says Cannot load DOS

Any help would be great

Thanks

Obtaining new Volume License media should be far easier than trying to get an OEM copy.

Simply log into your account and access your licenses and media. eOPEN switch program names around Fed-2010 so you may need to re-activate your account but MS seems to be very helpful with that.

If you have a legal copy of the license, I think you are making too much work for yourself doing it the way you mentioned.

FWIW

Worst case, you may be required to puchase current licensing and then exercise your downgrade options. Nevertheless, Volumne license stuff is all digital so losing media is a thing of the past.
