Tried to convert MSDN XP HOME SP3 from retail to vlk

[y0nigt]

I copied the following files from an MSDN XP PRO sp3 vlk:

DPCDLL.DL_
OEMBIOS.BI_
OEMBIOS.CA_
OEMBIOS.DA_
OEMBIOS.SI_
PIDGEN.DLL
SETUPP.INI

I get the following error on first logon - "The product key is not valid for this media type please use the correct installation cd to reinstall windows ERROR CODE:0x80040509"

thought this method was supposed to work, so what else can I try?

You also need:

SETUPREG.HIV

EULA.TXT

May work after that. Edited July 12, 2008 by dougiefresh

What's your source? Home or Pro ?

Is it legal to attempt to convert media to VLK, presumably to avoid product activation?

No it´s not, and it´s well stated in the "MSFN law" too:
