On the VERYCD, I was asked how to get VMware to support the installation of the OEM version of the system, which I always wanted to know. Search the relevant information, did not find this version of the. But I think the whole idea is the same. Successful after testing. The environment is the host is Lenovo OEM XP SP2 home, the client is Lenovo OEM XP Pro,vmware Workstation V5.5.3 Build34685.
To install the OEM version of the system, of course, is to change the BIOS, their own machines do not dare to start a virtual machine surgery. VMware is using the Phoenix BIOS. The tool that modifies the BIOS is of course the Phoenix BIOS editor. No, just go here to download.
The first is to use a binary editor to guide the BIOS ROM. The most we use is ultraedit. The key point! We find fields under the Bin folder (X:\Program files\vmware\vmware workstation\bin) under the VMware installation folder Vmware-vmx.exe files
EA E7 F0, there is only one place in the document. Then select 512K from this 00 (including 00) to be 524,288 bytes, which can be seen in the UltraEdit status bar. Save the function to a file with a suffix of rom using UltraEdit's save selection. Note: Just select Do not release, one drag is too wasted time, the second is easy to make mistakes in the back.
Then we use the Phoenix BIOS editor to open just the Rom file, modify the BIOS. After opening, find the DMI strings This window to modify the information inside. Mainly in the "motherboard Version" column to change the corresponding OEM information, you can modify the "Mmanufacturer name" and "System manufacturer name."
Here are some of the brand's information:
LEGEND: Add the "LEGEND Dragon" string anywhere in the BIOS, and note the case.
Tsinghua Tongfang: Add the "Tsinghua Tongfang COMPUTER" string anywhere in the BIOS, regardless of the case.
TCL: Add a "TCL123" string anywhere in the BIOS.
Seven-Hi: Add the "Hedycomputer" string anywhere in the BIOS.
COMPAQ: Add "COMPAQ" string to bios
HP: Add "Hewlett-Packard" to the BIOS.
ACER: Add the "Acersystem" string anywhere in the BIOS, and note the case.
IBM: Join the IBM CORPORATION string anywhere in the BIOS, not case-insensitive.
Founder: Add the "founder PC" string anywhere in the BIOS and note the case.
After the modification, select "File→build BIOS", the first hint, choose No, the 2nd option is, and then change the name, the original wash away, and then save the exit.
Go back to the UltraEdit window just now, is not not turned off and did not release the selected content. Then first use the edit → cut command to delete the selected section, note that the point of entry of the cursor can not be changed. Then execute the "file → special function → insert file" command to insert the modified BIOS file, save and exit.
It's OK! Now we can install our own OEM system. (Note the backup of individual files before doing these operations)
I made a few you can take a look at your brand No.
