Are you saying you can use the Win2k Boot.bin files?

I used the same files and they work flawlessly. You really only need the boot.bin file, the others should already be in your folder.

I made a copy of my XP CD. What I did was create an ISO using WinISO. Then I added the extra folders I wanted on the CD. For some reason, through experimentation, I found that I could only burn the resulting image in Nero if I convert the ISO image into a Bin image.

What I can\'t figure out is how to make my upgrade CD act like a full product. Let me explain. What I was hoping is that by putting a copy of the Win folder from my Windows 98 CD on the new XP CD, I could have the upgrade look onto the same CD and find Win 98 and be satisfied. Well, I put the win98 folder on the CD, but during the upgrade it said it couldn\'t find a qualifying product. I had to put the Win 98 CD into my other drive.

Somewere on the web I have found boot images for all the XP cd\'s, but they seem to be the same file.

Microsoft are also allowing people to download the Boot flopy images from them. these may be usefull to make a multi boot os cd with xp on.

Can u use the Boot.ini (of Win2k) file for making a WinXP cd bootable ? Thx

What version of Nero are you running? In the older versions that would be correct, you could only burn bin and nrg images, but with the latest versions theres a drop menu that lets you specify if you want to look for an ISO image and it will then burn it. Check to see if your version is eligible for the upgrade. As long as it\'s version 5.0 or newer it should be.

How can i crack windows xp! ive heard that there are copies flying around somewhere! i cant find any of the copies so ive decided that i will make a copy of my own. but i need a crack file because i only have a copy of the original and will time out in 30 days! reply!

If you haven\'t found any of those \"copies\" then you haven\'t looked very hard. All you need is broadband and a file sharing app. Very simple.

Hasbro, If you have a legit copy of XP and a previous legit version of windows 98 or newer (which it seems like you do from your post), email me and i will tell you how to make your XP upgrade cd act like a full one so you don\'t have to go through the action of putting the previous version of windows into the cd-rom and then putting the xp cd back in to continue the installation. It works. I\'ve done it myself. I don\'t want to post it on the message board because others might use it to get around the upgrade without having a previous version of windows.

Edit: Email address edited out.

I\'m guessing you get around the upgrade by changing the setupp.ini? I do not have an upgrade CD to try it on, but it seems as though it would work.

cruiser78 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 24, 2002, 11:46:12 PM »

indirectly, yes setupp.ini was changed but that was not all that i did.... i don\'t know if just changing setupp.ini would do it but who knows.. it might... i know that changed and xp home upgrade cd into a cd that thought it was xp pro corp but without the extra features of xp pro

Could you explain how i can boot and install XP from a legit OEM copy of winxp pro?

So i guess my question is realy 2 questions.
how do i make a bootable Winxp pro OEM disk.

and can i some how move all the boot files from one drive to some other drive and make it boot.

I did install it from my pervious operating system win98 to a new hard drive but now i have the boot files on the old drive and the new xp on the new drive...i would like to only use my new hard drive but it wont boot without the old one in there.

Thanks,
Migraine
