    You can still activate Windows XP, I activated one a couple months ago.
    In fact I had an installation that I was locked out of. It gives an option to activate or it will lock itself.
    Try this procedure:
    Activating Windows XP Retail (VL does not need Activation)
    STEP 1
    Open the Start menu and click "Run."
    STEP 2
    Type "regedit" into the text field and hit the "OK" button to launch the Registry Editor.
    STEP 3
    Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents directory using the database tree on the left side of the window.
    STEP 4
    Double-click on the registry entry labeled "OOBETimer".
    STEP 5
    Highlight all of the text in the "Value data" field and delete it.
    STEP 6
    Replace the deleted text with "FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD" and hit "OK." This is the standard Windows XP code and entering it will manually activate your copy of the software.
    STEP 7
    Right-click on the "WPAEvents" folder and choose "Permissions".
    STEP 8
    Highlight "SYSTEM" in the list of accounts, check the "Deny Full Control" box and press "Apply".
    Done.

    Use VL ISO for that purpose. Or patch winlogon.exe using WPAKill.exe If I remember correctly

    there must be some interrogation to have its exact word as -volume- edition...isn't it...?'!!

    How is this all related to the subject of this thread? @Tito addressed you in one of your other quests with a working solution.

    Specify that you want sha1.

    Code:
    PS C:\Users\Boss1\Downloads> Get-FileHash .\en_win_xp_pro_with_sp3_vl.iso -Algorithm sha1

    I explained how to get XP activated under VB w/o any patch/crack/whatever, also we are in the month where each tech website reported the availability of a proper activator that works everywhere with literally a couple of mouse click.

    So why you're insisting on doing things like we were still in 2001?
