You need to fill-out a registration form and such..... just too much of unnecessary action.

Cut through it, and get the build no. 1218:

The file will be in ISO format and must be burned to a CD before you can install the software on your computer.

The download files are large (approximately 450 megabytes) so the download may take a considerable time to complete.  Microsoft recommends only those with broadband, ADSL or other high-speed Internet connections attempt this download.

Same old key. 180 day trial limit.

Hey guys;

I just registered, but I've been lurking around this board for a while. I've downloaded the trial version of WinXP-x64 and I can't seem to get a boot CD created correctly. I'm trying to use Nero 6, and I'm following all the instructions on how to properly create a boot CD. Maybe I'm missing some detail somewhere. Has anyone tried this yet? What steps did you take to get your CD to work?

Thanks in advance.

just burn it as a simple ISO Image. Don't worry about the boot sector, it should already be included in the ISO.

Ahhhh...finally got it. Thanks for the help, now I can go to sleep.

Same old key. 180 day trial limit.

Um just not sure what ya mean by same old key.

I tired 3 different cd keys i had and none of them worked to get this working.

Thanks
