I've already asked my professor to provide me with either a new media or a new serial -she made the mistake! She gave me a volume media when MSDNAA issued me a retail serial. I'm just trying to see if i can still use the serial/media without having to wait for her.

OK, I figured out the key problem. I have retail serial but a volume media. Is there any way to force my volume media to accept the retail key? I already changed the end of the PID in setupp.ini from 270 to 000.

The Nvidia drivers do this. This is a feature! ;-)

It worked! I had to edit txtsetup.sif to point to \ Now its not accepting my serial! I know I got it exactly right.

Thanks, cluberti I'll try it out. I already tried using nlite on the Standard install folder (English\Win2003_vlp\32bit\standard_with_sp1_vlp) to create a bootable ISO and burned it to disc but I get an error "cannot find EULA".

I have a Win98 boot disk. I'll use fdisk to create a FAT32 partition. How big does it have to be? Oh no! I'm using a SATA II hard drive, the boot disk wont recognize it! Does anyone know how to make the a bootable CD-ROM out of the directory scructure I described can somehow let me run setup?

After weeks of begging I got my copy of Windows 2003 from my professor via MSDNAA. I was worried that the disc wouldn't be bootable. She said to double-click on WINN32 when in Windows Explorer. She didn't understand that I was installing Win2003 on a new computer that didn't have any copy of Windows... This disc has Win2003 Standard and Enterprise. This disc contains a strange directory structure. On the root there's files called: win51, win51ia, win51ia.sp1, win51is, win51is.sp1 and 3 folders: English VEEN VSEN the VSEN and VEEN folders contain lots of .sy_ and .dl_ files. The English folder has a folder structure like this: English\Win2003_vlp\32bit this contains: standard_with_sp1_vlp enterprise_with_sp1_vlp each of those contains what looks like a WinXP CD. This disc is not bootable so I have no idea how to install either version of Win2003. Help! I tried making a bootable copy by copying the files to my hard drive and using Nero to create a bootable DVD. The disc boots. I navigate to the Standard i386 folder and run WINNT but I get an error "Cannot find a place to create swap file"

Whichever is closest to the original.

The video ends up in C:\windows\SYSTEM32\oobe\IMAGES and is called intro.wmv. I'm assuming its in a cab file, not sure which one.

But the word "vista"... Anyway, would this not-Vistaize pack replace XP icons for Vista ones in XP as the current shell pack seems to do or replace XP icons in Vista with Vista ones which as of Vista RC1 are still there? Both would be good!

I dont see why its so hard to pronounce "Veesta-eyes"

I appreciate your response, but saying "no" would have been much simpler and saved us both time. Guess I'll be doing it the old fashioned way. Are there any plans to offer functionality similar to this? You'll have to redownload XPize setup and somehow replace its icons with your own and then rerun it with the patch \i386 option.

There's a free utuility called shutdown.exe http://www.aumha.org/downloads/shutdown.zip Just put it in a directory other than C:\WINDOWS\system32

Is there any harm in XPizing though nlite then running XPize normally after Windows is installed?

Thank you! That's one of the things I hate about the default XP theme and unfortunatly Royale

Its too bad the link doesn't work

If you make a 64-bit resource hacker please release it! There are posts all over the place asking for something like this.

Use a proxy. At the college I go to they blocked downloading of exe, rar, mdb, dll, bat, sys, vbs, and some other extensions. I'm glad I'm not a resident Hope XPize is working for you.

Actually yes you can. I encountered a boot screen with the progress bar in the upper left corner

Remote Desktop in XP Pro lets you connect to a remote computer as if you were actually at it. You log on using your windows username and need a password and you're logged on to that system.

This is dumb

You can finally install of top of 4.x! Thanks! What about over 3.x?

They were made for XPize.

You could try BTS DriverPack

I've reinstalled Windows from a Dell OEM CD and I was able to use Internet activation
