(o) General Infos:
* This is the original Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit (Volume License) ISO from Microsoft.
* The installation process is Unattended with the Prompt repair option.
* This Windows XP is updatable a Valid WGA CD-Key is already inserted and a WGA crack will be also installed and a Windows XP Activation is not required.
* Includes all official and some unofficial Windows XP Service Pack 3 Updates till 15.3.2012.
* Over 200 MB integrated drivers for SATA/ACHI, LAN, WLAN and Monitors.
* A lot of Windows XP settings have been already set and are also set for new created Windows XP accounts.
* Includes a Codec Pack that will decode and encode almost every Audio and Video file format.
* Booting and Running a little bit faster because some worthless Windows XP files and Programs are removed and all the Windows XP Updates are slipstreamed.
* After the Windows XP installed you can choose if you want the Preconfigured Settings and the Extra Programs to be implemented, When nothing was selected after 60 seconds then the option Yes will be automatically selected.
(o) Important Infos:
* This Windows XP is not for Upgrading you must make a clean installation on a formatted Hard disk drive or Partition.
* You can add Extra Programs and Custom Settings by using an ISO Editor and by opening all file with an Text Editor in the directory "(source)OEMRunOnce" and by editing the file "WINNT.SIF" in the directory "(source)I386".
* If you want a full automated installation then use an ISO Editor and replace the file "WINNT.SIF" in the directory "(source)OEM" with the one in the directory "(source)I386". When you do this and you Boot from this Disc then the main Hard disk drive will be automatically fornated and a new partition will be create on it and then Windows XP will be automatically installed on the new partition. By replacing this "WINNT.SIF" file you will loss the Recovery Console and the Repair Option that one can start from the Windows XP Disc.
* If the Windows XP installation hangs or if you get a Blue Screen Error during the Windows XP installation then this is probably due to a SATA driver problem. To fix this problem you should do the steps under "Infos on how to Remove the included Drivers and include your own Drivers". If you have a Blue Screen Error during the Windows XP installation then you could use a workaround for this by going into your BIOS and then by turn off the option SATA/ACHI or by changing the SATA Mode option to IDE. This should normally fix the Blue Screen Error but you will loss around 2 to 10 percent of your Hard disk speed if you are changing from SATA to IDE.
(o) Infos for Newbies:
* The Minimum Computer Requirements is a "600 MHz Processor" with a "256 MB RAM" and "4 GB Hard disk drive" and a "Super VGA (800x600) Video Adapter".
* If you miss some standard Windows XP programs then open the Windows XP Favorites folder and there you will find alternative links to better programs. This Windows XP programs are removed because they are outdated or they have been replaced by Microsoft with a better version, for example the free Microsoft Outlook Express that has been replaced years ago with the free Windows Live Mail program.
* If you want to change the Windows XP CD-Key then use the Tool "Keyfinder (Key Changer) v1.51.exe" after the WIndows XP installation that you can find in the directory "(source)OEMINFOS" on your Burned Optical Disc and in the ISO file. You can also change the Windows XP Owner and Company with this Tool.
* If you get a malware warning about the files "Keyfinder (Key Changer) v1.51.exe" and "Windows Genuine Advantage Crack for v1.9.0042.0.exe", that's normal because almost all Anti-Virus Programs are detecting Key Changers and Cracks as malware.
* If you have a question or a problem then visit the Website "www.zone54.com", but first make sure that you can't find the solution for your problem in 10 minutes over a Web Search Engine or over the forum search engine at "www.msfn.org".
