OK, if you say so. I believe I tested a few and those seemed to work, though. Did something change in that respect? I still use VLK keys, I'm just not confident enough to play around with flashing the BIOS etc. Sorry, but as long as this (or a generated) VLK works, I'll use it.
Sorry, I was not very clear in my message. My normal XP machines also use a VLK, and they work (all updated systems). The VLK's generated with the "tool", were tested in a different scenario, also worked (on updated systems), but are not in use right now. So for me there is no immediate reason to switch to BIOS mods. As a matter of fact, I think the keys will hold until march 2014. After that date, there will still be XP systems here, but not online anymore. (My XP systems are mostly used in manuf. for checkweighing [Mettler], dedicated labelprinter setups [Desco], etc.) Running this on older PC's, which are cheap (or free) and replaceable within one hour, is saving a lot of money. But I agree that BIOS mods are probably a better method for people with only one system! Of course, in that case I wouldn't advise to run XP on it anyway!!
I'm sorry, but where I can find an Uncompressed OEMBIOS file set for Asus? first attempt resulted to blue screen and reboot... is that cause I just extract each file with 7zip (and i get 4 files: oembios.bin, oembios.cat, oembios.dat, oembios.sig) ? And after trying to reinstall windows i have now blue screen: the bios in this system is not fully acpi compliant.. so i guess it need to flash new bios... well, great Method...
To resolve this obtain a BIOS that is fully ACPI compliant. or... To work around this behavior, manually install the Standard PC hardware abstraction layer (HAL): Restart the computer to restart Setup. When Setup starts again, press F7 (not F6) when you see the "Press F6 if you need to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver" screen. Windows automatically disables the installation of the ACPI HAL and installs the Standard PC HAL.
I don't know if anyone else had trouble with this, i was trying to install the x64 version and had problems when writing it to the pendrive, after some search i found that there's a need for 'Joliet and udf' protocols,was able to solve this with poweriso, opening the iso file and editing it to 'suport' those protocols, now it worked. this video helped me, if anyone else is having trouble... youtube.com/watch?v=9c8IolS2HsM edit: i know that i don't have 20 posts and i couldn't be posting video/images, but i'm trying to help... edit2: Installing xp on a friends pc, we had problems with ntdetect and ntdlr, anyone could help ? i saw on page 3, this. but we are installing xp on netbooks, so there's no cd drive.. haha
Greeting Guys first i want thank you for all effort in this Thread second i have two questions 1- how to Make Windows XP Genuine on Virtual machines ? 2- how to download windows xp sp3 updates offline ? Thanks again
thanks Tito i have used this tool ((AntiWPA)) on virtual machine and it worked, Do I have used the right tool OR i miss something ? and Can i use it on physical machine ? -------- about my second question if i download this pack "OnePiece Windows XP Post-SP3 UpdatePack v7.7.0 ENU" do i still need to download updates from windows xp Automatic Updates ? i don't want to use Automatic Updates i want to download them offline and install them LIKE microsoft security essentials update offline -------- Thank You again for your Help
Sorry, I have to remove the link as we don't support this type of solution. It was long discussed & OEM:SLP is still better than it (offline & permanent). After integrating the updatepack in a fresh XP SP3 source, it is like updated with all updates till February 2014. You still need to update in March & April.
Hi guys.. Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (x86) (CD 1 and CD2) (English) - broken link. Tried to find alternative but no luck. Anyone has one?
Quick question guys: Notebook is MSI. Guy that did XP installation sad the OEMBIOS tool showed two CRC values: D2D64C41 and E0A0735C. He used the first one. The message that said "not genuine" in bottom of the screen disappeared and all worked normal. First crc belong to FUJITSU, while second one is for MSI. Since pc didn't have internet connection at the time, will it become "not genuine" again when pc is hooked on internet because of possible wrong crc or it does not matter ?
I need some help, hope this is the right place to post... I have an old Compaq notebook with a sticker on it's back with Windows XP license (and serial, etc.). I want to reinstall this legit XP, but I don't have the CD any more, and don't know which version I need: CD, VL, OEM, etc. Can anyone maybe give me a link to the right original XP SP3 iso? Thanks in advance!
