Create Home Source from Pro


Recommended Posts

im trying to make a reinstall disk for a xp home computer, i didnt really want to create the source from the installation i have of it because the system is a bit screwed and was concerned the new installation might not be as 'happy' as one created from a propper install disk, like my xp pro sp2 disk for my other computer.

the files ive changed so far:

  • win51ip type files to win51ic
  • disk names and such in txt tesup.sif
  • the pid in setupp.ini to the value stored on the current installation

the installation goes through the text portion of installation fine now, and some of the gui stage but near the end it keeps asking for windows xp professional as it cant find some files, i canceled them and installation proceded to the regional settings which worked but then it wouldnt accept the cdkey in the next screen.

i couldnt fine a definitive guide to doing this, just bits all and bobs in different threads so i could have missed something.

im guessing the cdkey problem is to do with the pid so im going to check it now.
