I Downloaded Xp Corp And Installed It....

[apunkrockmonk]

it was supposedly corp... after installation it just said professional... and its in polish.... i got it off of supernova... damn mislabels, does anyone have a torrent link or anything to xp corp, and also... how do i format my hd, then install it? I need help... pleaseee i can't stand not being able to read anything in my os

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

the best way i know of really cleaning your HD is with a program called GWSCAN. if you go to gateways website, download it onto a 3.5 floppy, and boot up with it, you get the option to go to dos, then you just type GWSCAN, and youll see the option to write zero's to your drive. *this program will erase EVERTHING on the drive you select*, so if that isnt what you want, then dont use it. click here to go there (http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/search.asp?st=pn&param=7513666) . and it works with ANY hard drive larger than 10gb. :)

[apunkrockmonk]

okay, that solves that problem, but i still need a working version of ENGLISH xp corp.... any help there?

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

i got xp pro corp from bittorrent, suprnova. and mine works fine. what bittorrent site did yours come from?

[apunkrockmonk]

same, i got it like a week and half ago... it was the only corp one available

Windows XP Pro Corporate with SP1 <------was this the name of it?

was the exact name... i started downloading a different one off of torrent, which will be done before too long hopefully, i tried unzipping that prog from gateway and it gives me an error... is there any other ways to format easily then install xp

[DWk]

yea i got that one 2 lol....readme&#39;s in polish....but a lot of things from it in english...pretty funny

[apunkrockmonk]

ever end up installing it? I chose english (united states) as install language and its still in polish.... also... half of it runs really snappy, but anything to do with scrolling or moving windows is soooooooo slow... it never was before

There is no difference between xp pro and xp corp, except activation. On xp corp you will see xp pro logo, so dont be surprised by that once you download the english version.

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

you have to have a empty floppy disc in your a: drive for GWSCAN to extract

[MadDog-2000]

About formatting your hard drive; you can simply run a quick or normal format when you install Windows XP for the first time. Anything other type of format, like a low level format, is really not necessary except if you are super paranoid and think the CIA is watching you. ;)

It is gonna ask you to format anyway, especially if you want to use NTFS instead of FAT, which you should because it is much better. You can download Windows XP with SP1 integrated from eMule or Kazaa. If you are up to it, you can also download the latest Longhorn build from SuprNova.org, which is much, much better than the last one.

[apunkrockmonk]

is there anyway to just make this polish version install in english like i told it to originally?

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

try re-installing it, and pay close attention to the options that come up, and see what happens

[Global Media Trader]

Just learn to read Polish.

Or get it from eMule. it is much more organized than kazaa is for programs and games

[AndrewBarker]

I got Lamsey&#39;s version right here on FT and it works perfect

Nope, no such thing. The language in the OS is compiled with the code.

hello m8. I encountered the same problem... actually, I am running the polish xp now. I have the english version someone suggested in reply to my post, but the keys in the serial.txt does not work... Any suggestions... I also tried using the xpkey.exe program, but was advised that it does not work on sp1 installed versions. :angry:

[apunkrockmonk]

i found an english one on suprnova and installed it. Now all is well, thanks again.

edit: kiyasmom, check your private messages.

Those keys work.

The problem is that the Corporate version can only do a clean installation, not upgrade from a previous OS.

So you need to do a clean install with the english corp version and the keys will work.
