Hi everyone ty for reading this, okay well the problem is that I am really tired of vista and how slow it is even when I upgraded to 2g of ram so i decided to go back to windows xp so when ever i try to boot from my windows xp cd
it starts to load like preparing installation laoding this and that so then just when its finished loading and enters the setup menu my pc crashes and gives the blue death error:

Check for viruses oin your computer. remove any newsly installd dard drive controllers. check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured ad terminated.. run chkdsk/f to check for hardrive corruption and then restart computer

Just a list of questions I have before Windows Vista comes out tomorrow ..

Does the Upgrade pack and the Full version contain the same thing?

Do I have to have a Windows XP CD in order to use the Upgrade method?

This is the Limited Edition one.
Is there any other way to get this?

Do you think Best Buy or Circut City will still have copies of Windows Vista Ultimate by 3:00 PM on Tuesday Jan 30?

Diggdel.icio.usFurl

Enable the features found in Windows XP Professional on your Windows XP Home Edition installation with this hack. It will allow you to turn your Windows XP Home CD into a Windows XP Professional CD.

Note: If your Windows XP CD does not contain Service Pack 2, you might want to Slipstream Your Windows XP CD first as you will not be able to upgrade an installation after using the CD.

1. Copy the root directory and the i386 directory of the WindowsXP CD to your hard drive.

2. Extract the Bootsector of your Windows XP CD. You can use BBIE to do this.

3. Click START-->RUN-->REGEDIT

4. Highlight

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

5. Click FILE-->LOAD HIVE and select the Setupreg.hiv file
This file is located in the i386 folder. Use the one you extracted to your hard drive from your Windows XP CD.

6. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Homekey\ControlSet001\Services\setupdd

7. Edit the DEFAULT key and change the following values:

01 to 00
02 to 00

8. Change the name to the value HOMEKEY to anything.

9. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Homekey\ControlSet001\Services\setupdd

Edit the DEFAULT key and change the following values:

01 to 00
02 to 00

10. Highlight HOMEKEY and select

FILE-->UNLOAD HIVE

You can now burn the data on your hard drive to a CD to make a new Windows XP CD. Then use the CD to install Windows XP. Be sure to make the CD bootable. You can use the instructions here to help you do that.
