Is Windows failing to boot after you installed the loader? Just do the
following.
* Boot up the PC from your Windows installation disk
* Press and hold SHIFT and then press F10
* Input "bootsect.exe /nt60 SYS /force" (without quotes)
* Restart the PC
Note: If the above doesn't fix your boot issue then use the command
"bootsect.exe /nt60 ALL /force" instead. Just make sure you remove all USB flash
drives before you use the command.

Have you installed the loader but you're not genuine? Just check the following.
* Check the details line contains "v2.1"
* Try to validate online at http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/
Note: If the details line doesn't read v2.1 then go to the advanced tab, select
to disable type 4 memory and reinstall the loader. If that doesn't work then use
the legacy mode instead.

# 3 - Questions and answers
##########################################################################
Q. The loaders status says "Modified - Uninstall other cracks", what do I do?
A. You can either find a way to uninstall the other cracks, download WAT Fix or
format. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/26994
Q. The loaders status says "Unsupported partition table", why is this?
A. You're either using GPT on a UEFI motherboard or you've got a locked OEM
partition. Both problems can be fixed by fully formatting your entire hard
drive.
Q. I received the error message "Error finding your systems active partition",
what do I have to do?
A. You need to format the whole hard drive with a program like Active@ Kill
Disk. This issue is caused by your locked OEM partition.

Q. I received the error message "Failed to add loader to the boot code", what do
I have to do?
A. Disable any system protection. Some types of software block the loader
application from installing to the boot code.
2. Q. I've used a version of the loader before and it failed to work, what do I
have to do?
A. If you previously used bootsect to get back into Windows then you first need
to press uninstall, reboot and then install the newest version of the loader.
Q. Why was table sorting changed so that it's now disabled by default?
A. Some machines don't like the table order being changed so to make the loader
more system compatible we disabled it by default.
Q. I've previously used another activation solution and I think it's modified my
systems files, can I fix it?
A. You can first try to uninstall what you originally installed and then try
running "sfc.exe /scannow" from command prompt as an administrator.
Q. I lose activation status after my systems been to sleep or has been in
hibernation, can I fix it?
A. Go to the advanced options and select to disable type 4 memory, install the
loader again and see if that cures it. If you're not cured try to disable type 3
memory instead. If it still fails try selecting the legacy setting.
Q. I installed the loader and my system hangs during the boot process, can I fix
it?
A. Go to the advanced options and select to disable type 4 memory, install the
loader again and see if that cures it. If you're not cured try to disable type 3
memory instead. If it still fails try selecting the legacy setting.
Q. I installed the loader and rebooted but I'm not activated. The loader
application displays the message "BAD SLIC SIZE" or "BAD SLIC DATA", can I fix
it?
A. Uninstall the loader, power down and then boot up the system again. Go to the
applications advanced options and select to ignore the existing SLIC and then
press install.

The loader doesn't work when the systems using GPT. The workaround is to pre-
format your hard drive so that it uses MBR instead.
From your BIOS select to boot the Windows DVD without UEFI, go to the repair
options, select command prompt and then enter this:
diskpart
list disk
select disk 0
clean
convert mbr
create partition primary
select partition 1
format fs=ntfs quick
Boot the Windows DVD the same way you did the first time and then continue with
the installation of Windows. Once complete you can then install the loader.

* If you don't set the certificate it will default to your BIOS's model
* If you don't set the SLIC it will default to your BIOS's model
* If you don't set the key it will default to your BIOS's model and the correct
one for the OS (Ultimate, Professional, Starter or Home Premium)
* You can use these arguments via SetupComplete.cmd to pre-activate Windows

If a certificate or SLIC is released and I have not put out a new version of my
application simply create two folders, one called "Certificates" and another
called "SLICs".
In each folder put the files you want to add support for, just be sure you label
the files like this:
*Certificates folder*
Acer.XRM-MS
Advent.XRM-MS
Alienware.XRM-MS
Asus.XRM-MS
*SLICs folder*
Acer.BIN
Advent.BIN
Alienware.BIN
Asus.BIN
When using external files all preset internals will be ignored. This is a
cleaner approach for users who want to build their own list without my presets
getting in the way.

Thanks:
Everyone who supports this project, you're all the reason I'm still working on
it.
