Well that is good.  Set your computer clock ahead 1 year and restart.  
good luck

I'm just having trouble trying to double check is windows is activated. Went to Start, but don't see Activate Windows anywhere...[/quote]

Jean is responding to a post from 2004.  Yes that would work in 2004.
With service pack 2 and all the updates installed, don't count on it.

run msinfo32,  if you see any thing mentioned about activation it is bad news.

Read pages 14 and 15 of this forum.

[quote name=\'fluxmusic\' post=\'426141\' date=\'Apr 8 2008, 01:06 AM\']You can always try this it is just a sugesstion i am not sure if it can be done.    Go to a store that sells windows xp (any addition ex: home,professional ) And go grap on of the boxes flip it over to the back or find the sticker on the box or on a computer they have hooked up on display. and simply right down the code.[/quote]


on a box of software the code is inside.
On a computer it would work once, if you could find XP in a retail location.  All retailers here are selling systems with Vista.  One more note: It would only work if you installed an OEM version of XP, not retail.

Overall not a great idea.

I configured the BIOS to "Boot from CD" and hit enter when the boot screen says "hit any key ..." but the disk doesn't boot. In the meantime i realized that i need to start over anyway so.............[/quote]


Either your XP disc is damaged (likely) or you have a SATA drive and do not have the needed file on a floppy for it to find with F6.  Sata is like SCSI.

[quote name=\'Bewildere\' post=\'425155\' date=\'Mar 29 2008, 06:36 AM\']I'm feeling out of my depth here but.... I have a Xp Pro disk but there is a problem, i think it has to do w/ the boot file. If i restart the computer set to boot from disk drive it just boots into Vista. When i explore the CD and click on setup.exe the setup screen comes up but the install option is grayed out.[/quote]

If you are installing XP over Vista, you must do it by booting to the CD.  You may have to change Bios settings of boot sequence to not boot your HD.  You cannot start from within Vista, Microsoft hates downgrades.

[quote name=\'bonehead\' post=\'422662\' date=\'Feb 26 2008, 01:17 PM\']I trawled through this thread to put XP on my other pc.

Eventually I followed a link to here:

 http://defcon5.biz/phpBB3/index.php

Follow the first topic and it will give you a choice of crack versions to download.

I downloaded Generic Antiwpa-2.1.6-WinXP-2k3.ZiP
because it seemed appropriate.

Didn't change anything manually, just clicked on the unzipped file and a couple of seconds later the patch was applied: no more problems!

I had to download all the windows updates afterwards (my xp disc was from 2002) and even service pack II worked without issue.

I was pleased until I completely messed things up by trying to use partition software that essentially undid my hours of installation work!!

Anyway, that link I provided worked flawlessly for me and thanks to all the posters who led me to it.[/quote]

[quote name=\'DnM\' post=\'421605\' date=\'Feb 14 2008, 07:17 AM\']Signature link doesn't work. I got new PC and installed a version of XP SP2 that required no serial. Tried FittMunken's trick (which works perfectly for SP1 for over 2 years now) but yesterday it said that I got 5 days to activate, when I try and activate it says it's activated. I downloaded a torrent of a corporate XP SP2 Pro edition and burned it already on CD. My question is this: How can you tell it's Corporate BEFORE the installation? When autorun triggered, it just said that it's going to install Windows (the initial blue window with all the options). How can I verify it's Corporate? I got a bunch of keys for corporate editions (either SP2 or plain XP Corp.), if I use one and fail and then use another and fail again, how many times can I "fail" the key before it stops the install (if it stops!)? Thanks![/quote]

You are throwing too much at once.
1. The link works fine today. http://cid-c0f03a17f30c51b9.skydrive.live..../Public/347.zip
  if a direct click does not work then copy link location and paste into address bar.
2. All XP versions required a serial number (key number) if it does not ask it is in the install file for the disc.
3. I don't know FittMunkens's trick
4. a Corp edition does not require activation but may not pass WGA later on if key blocked by MS.
5. to check if corp edition open file setupp.ini file on disc, if Pid ends with 270 it is corp (VLK).
6. if the failure happens during installation then you can keep trying as many times as you want.

I recommend you install by booting the CD not from within windows.

Sounds like Davbaseball01 has an OEM install XP without the original microsoft discs.  Most OEMs now charge extra for Microsoft install discs and only give a recovery disc to restore your system to the condition that you purchased it in.

I guess the folder is incomplete.

I saw a study that put Windows 98 as only .62% of operating systems used by internet users.  This would imply that it not used much except on very old machines.

Get properties on the folder.  It needs to be about 550Meg or more in size.
If not, then it is junk left over from a prior operating system.

On the system with XP installed (and has I386 folder) run "magic jellybean" it will tell you the Key used on that machine.  http://www.download.com/3001-2094_4-10664536.html
Write is down or print it.

I am assuming you are moving from one system to another.
If you are trying to use XP and same key on both machines, after installing you need to use the first 2 links in my signature below.

you mean I386 folder.
Typically yes if setup.exe is included, but you will need to activate the new system with microsoft. (WGA)
Have your key number handy.  Do you need help with that too?

I just downloaded without a problem and the zip passed test.  
http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=415814

Version 2.1.6 is still the same as 2.1.5, only tested on XP SP3 RC1.  Wait a few months to what SP3 really holds for us.  Still no X64 support.
