That should really reset the machine back to OEM / Factory installģ) Similar to (2) if you still have access to any same machine that's still has the factory OEM software/setup you might have an app for creating BOOT/Factory recovery media. LENOVO uses ghost imaging insteadĢ) If however you have access to other similar machines that are originally installed by OEM/Factory Installed and are still working (With the OEM factory recovery partition working) use CLONEZILLA to Ghost the image to the other machines and run factory reset on them.

DELL & HP you have better luck since their OEM installation methods requires their own XP disc followed by supplemental discs for drivers & apps. Unfortunately if you dont have the media you eitherġ.a) Buy them from the OEM/Assembler which is expensive but guaranteed to work based on your machines model/serial numbersġ.b) BitTorrent for media ISO's based on your brand (This is assuming you LEGITIMATELY have machines with COA's) this is a damn grey area solution actually.

Use those since they're designed to be pre-activated when you install them. Large companies use VLP and KMS servers to track internally, but smaller companies can still use VLP but with a MAK license that keeps a product count online, and then you have to call MS and explain if you use up your is a familiar case and here's what I did in my caseġ) Try an get generic recovery media (Dell/HP/Compaq/Lenovo). You need to license every machine in some manner. Note this is all changed for Win7+ and Win 2008+. We did create special app packages with the downloaded drivers for each machine make and model. We were essentially paying for two licenses, one included in the machine cost and a 2nd with the VLP count, but the extra cost was considered recovered in support and administration costs. I've worked at large places where we used VLP licenses on every machine, and VLP licenses for XP and 2003 didn't need to be activated. Some resellers will use the default OEM CD, but you may need the original manufacturer's OEM CD to match that 5 digit number, especially from majors like Dell, HP, Toshiba, Sony, etc. The retail version is always an option, but you need to activate online. There are some versions that can always be installed, but you may need to download and install additional drivers from the machine manufacturer. Note that some antivirus will flag this as rogue software, but it is from a trusted source and a viable admin tool as I use it. Nirsoft makes a free one "Produkey" that I've used. There are some utilities to recover the license key, if the current OS is installed and operational.

Some manufacturer CDs don't need to be activated, similar to VLP.

The CDs for each product are identical, so you can use the XP Media Center from your friend's house if you have a MC license key on yours as well. With Dell for example, there are individual discs to match the product that the machine was purchased and that is on the sticker. If the sticker is for home version or media version, etc, you need to select that version on CD. You need to have the right version on CD for that encoded in the license key on the sticker. This number is probably encoded in the license key you type in, and how it checks if it's valid while you're installing.
