Activate Windows XP Pro with VMware / VPC 2007 Hi Guys I have just installed Windows XP Pro with SP2 in my Virtual Machine for some experiments. But I don't want to activate the 30 days trial. How do I bypass that so that it becomes genuine? I have also heard that Windows XP Corporate Ed does not come with this screen. is that true??
Basically I want to run Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows Server 2003 / 2008 from VMware and Virtual PC 2007 SP1 I don't wanna update the windows. I just want to run them for practice and remove the activation thing from both (I don't know if Windows Server 2003 has cause I have not installed it yet) I have a HP laptop and running VISTA Ultimate Someone please help me urgently on as to how do make it work step-by-step Thanks a lot..
Hi I got lost somewhere in page 6 of the vmware guide Open and search RSDT then do I type "DELL H07" or what? also says to copy asus.bin to phoenix folder.. I dont have any bin file like that.. HP.BIN ? Can some1 please do this for me if I upload all the required files for u ? or can u tell me what all files u require me to upload?? Just want it to get working.. dont care about HP / DELL / SLIC cause I just want to use VMware and VPC with XP and server 2003 for my practice.. thats it will appreciate any help.. i m desperate.. Thanks
You really don't need to mess with the SLIC stuff as you are just going to use it with XP . Just follow the directions regarding the DMI entries I have a modified VMware exe for a Toshiba. I can uplad it if you want. You still have to make your own Toshiba OEM XP CD.
Didnt work still came up with the 30 days thing.. used ur files.. i use magiciso and inserted it in a win xp sp3 iso
hmm.. i dont know.. i will try again tomorrow and give u feedback.. my version of vmware workstation is 6.0.4 build 93057 will try again and give feedback..
Please make sure your copy of XP Pro with SP3 iso matches the SHA1 hash posted. There is no sense in trying it again if the your copy of XP Pro with SP3 has been altered in some way. I also used the same version of VMware Workstation.
the SHA1 definitely does NOT MATCH.. mine is 0ED3F42A0C40F3AB167C164858413EFF90AC91AE I will try to get a fresh and clean copy of XP and try again.. will update again. . thanks
Hi I got some ISO.. Can you tell me if these SHA1 are good to be modded? they say its unmodified XP SP2 0051F05CCBC253E66F432B3B5677769F1C5E2609 XP SP3 52BE7B4E58247161C12D5741D1DFCA2973915CD6 which page can i check for this?
