How to enable Installing Windows XP without entering Serial code Manually

Without serial number You can configure W2K to install without having to manually enter the CD key during the setup process.


First, you want to copy your Windows xp setup files from your CD to your hard drive. You have to copy at least the I386 directory.

Now go into the I386 directory you just copied onto your hard drive and look for a file called setupp.ini.

Right click it, select Properties, and remove the Read-only checkmark. Now open the file to edit it.

Your setup.ini file should read something like this:


[Pid]

ExtraData=6166656C736263737373B2574A0581

Pid=51873XXX



Replace the 3 X's (generally it'll be three zeros) at the end with u hav to use last 3 digits of windows build number and make a '.dll' file in xp setup. Then make a bootable cd and enjoy (without serial no)
