Windows Disc Gubbings

I got a copy of Windows XP OEM from my local computer shop and when I install it it says their name in the in the Organisation box, does anyone know how to change this to my name? What folder or file can I edit to change this?

Tried google much? :\

 

I wouldnt know where to start typing it in the search.
Doh. cheers.

I want to change it on the disc so whenever I do an install with this disc my name is already there.

 

I don't think you can change it on the disc as its a ROM.

 

Wonder how they have done it, I thought if I copy all files to HDD then change what I want to change and then burn the edited files to disc I'd be ok?

 

I believe you can load the disc into nlite and then change the default names and settings and then re-burn the disc. I guess the disc does not have the standard windows logo-age on it.

 

If you make an iso of the cd, then explore the iso I think it'll be in a file called OEMINFO.INI iirc. Save it off, rename it to OEMINFO.TXT and edit it. Once saved, rename back to OEMINFO.INI and plonk it back into the iso, then reburn the iso to cd. As for where it'll be on an install cd, I've no idea. Shouldn't be too hard to find, I'd have thought. (Think it may be in the i386 folder!)

 

Sounds good mate thanks, I'll look into it later on.

And to extract files named XXX.YY_ (with an underline as the last letter), use any CAB-capable archiving program (WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc...) or simply expand.exe which is included in Windows.

Code:

expand -r XXX.YY_

And to pack them again, use makecab.exe also included in Windows.

Code:

makecab XXX.YYY
