Hello. Sorry for making a thread just for this but I couldn't find the serial number for my Windows version online. Could someone please help me install this thing? It's a very old Evaluation version of Windows XP Professional 64 bit. I don't think that there are any service packs included. I'm stuck at the "Enter your product key" window and I can't skip it. I've tried every possible CD key out there and none of them is valid. It looks like it expects some kind of trial key. It says "The 25-character Product key appears on the yellow sticker on the back of your Windows CD folder" and it's also showing me a small yellow image of how the product key is supposed to look. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
It is also very risky to install win XP (32/64-bit) earlier than Service Pack 2 in case your system is accidentally exposed to the Internet for even a short while. This is of course, before you have installed an antivirus. The havoc caused by the Blaster worm over a decade ago is still fresh in my memory.
yes i have but it only work with original EVL iso from Microsoft - what is your sha1 of the iso - wich sp level is the iso
VRMPEVL_EN.ISO SP2 SHA1: 20CABB953F36BE44AF81A4BA66B848A613F5E4DF Can you still post it for me? I need it shortly. It can still work anyway. Thank you. If I don't have the right ISO, can you upload it here for me?
xp Professional with sp2a 32bit (2004-08) - (MS original) 06BA65393058EAD4F3B0234BE5CF6A424D438099 *VRMPEVL_EN.ISO Code: MSCDCRC 4.11 CD-ROM Disc Verification Utility Copyright (C) Microsoft, 1992-2001 MSCDCRC: Verifying file VRMPEVL_EN.ISO (607,234,048 bytes) 100% complete MSCDCRC: AutoCRC is 0xB51A8FE9 MSCDCRC: This file contains a VALID computed CRC indicating the contents of the file are correct.. have you checked your iso size - is it overdumped (zro padded) ?
in case your iso is just overdumped i can help you in case your iso is just hombrew, no sorry, no support for homebrew iso I ask for understanding, but upload original files, publish keys, etc. puplic - only have led to more fake iso arise.
@plangg asked for a key, which is general consensus on MDL not allowed to post in public. Now, i dont have this eval image and i like to examine it myself, hence, appreciated if @plangg could upload it. If he want help he need to participate like all of us. He already posted a checksum and to help him and the community(and WWW in total), we can´t do much on file size alone. I totally agree with above statement and if he gets help by PM that´s fine. Kind regards
now I upload the ISO-Image to onedrive. Can I post the Link to the ISO here in the thread, or you, Sajjo via PN?
