Copy Windows Xp

[john54321]

If its a bootable version (full version of windows- not upgrade) it may not copy the boot record when using just windows to make a copy, so you should use clonecd to make an exact copy so the boot record is in tact or use nero to make a disk image and then burn the image.

If its XP home , you wont be able to install it on another PC anyway

Really?

Why not? [/b][/quote]
The home version needs to be authenticated online. Billys way to stop piracy.

But the Pro version does not need that. you can install the Pro version on multiple PCs

There are ways around the activation process.

Hmm...... Didn&#39;t somebody post an indirect link to an XP activation crack, only this weekend? (disclaimer:- i&#39;ve not tested this crack)

But sure, XP corp doesn&#39;t even need activation. If you have the means to acquire it, it&#39;s the best way to avoid the whole activation thingie.

The best solution is to get XP Pro and get the service packs 1&2 from sharereactor

[Russo]

And its pointless to use a crack for Home because you wont be able to update anyway. you might as well get Pro

[LTJBukem]

Everybody knows about the activation process. Thing is though, it was cracked before XP was officially released. That&#39;s why DWk is laughing at you.

What&#39;s that about Service Pack 2? Do not install beta service packs, that is unless you really want to potentially compromise your systems stability and security.

And XP home cannot be updated unless it has been avtivated by micro&#036;oft? Sorry man, but you&#39;re talking rubbish.

Where do you people get your info from. how do you think Microsoft determines if your Key lines up with your MAC address and hardware IDs. when you go to the update page MS reads your ID and determines if its registered yet. if its not registered you dont get your updates.

Why do you think the Service Packs are available as seperate releases underground on P2P netwroks. because thats the ONLY way to update a XP machine that is not registered by MS

You need to do some more research

Here are the hoops you have to jump through to update a pirated version of XP
