Hi all ! Here is my final project for school

I made a USB key with the UBCD 5.0.0 and Windows XP Professional SP3 with WinSetupFromUSB. But my teachers asked me if I could change the SID of each computer where I installed Windows XP.

I know there is "Ghost Walker" (GHSTWALK.EXE) to change the SID and I have it on a CD but I can't load it from GRUB from my USB key.

Can you help me please ?

Did deploy same image of installed Windows on many machines? Why would you need to change SID?

Anyway, have a look at this article:

If you still need NewSid and it would work for you, just google for download links, it's still available on many sites.

I would have thought that a school project (which school?) would have been something more than putting together available apps (and EXPECIALLY COMMERCIAL ones like Ghost Walker).

SID entries in the Registry are documented:

...and sure you cannot load it with "GRUB", maybe you can load it with "grub4dos" by mapping a floppy image containing it and DOS.

yeah other than the questionable use of ghostwalker by itself....and that your final is in mid June....
