Sparda he was replying to "i am using a valid XP home edition cd key that i bought i just 'hacked' the home edition cd... i would post a link to what i did but i think its against hak5's rules"

heres the site.... its changed quite abit from the last time i used it (more then 6 months ago), but it looks the same http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2006/1...sional-edition/ is there any windows tools that come with home editon that i can use to run a script before windows logs in? well a friend suggested that i should *cough*get a windows xp corporate edition iso... that would be i think the easiest way especialy if i have to reinstall... but the most illegal way, idk this is a link in the microsoft forum, and it seemed like he couldnt get any help for the same problem im having http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/ShowPo...0&SiteID=25

"hacked XP to hell" what do you mean by that? it wouldnt really mess up the MBR... Ubuntu's grub is on drive 1... (I disabled drive 1 when i install xp) so windows xp MBR is on drive 2.... yeah the install that i have now is 'technically' illegal... as one user put it " you're technically not allowed to modify any of the software on the disc, especially for the purpose of spoofing the activation sequence" --edit-- I would only like to use a WPA crack as a last resort... i am using a valid XP home edition cd key that i bought i just 'hacked' the home edition cd... i would post a link to what i did but i think its against hak5's rules

Hello all, i have a problem (as you can probably guess from me posting in the Questions area) OK here's what i am doing, i have windows XP pro (its not really pro, its a 'cracked/hacked' version of home edition CD to install Pro, it doesn't come with all the same tools. . . ) its installed on drive 2 partition 1, then i have Ubuntu 7. 10 gusty installed on drive 2 partition 2(and 3 for swap). Now on Ubuntu I'm running a program called VirtualBox, (its like VMWare, virtual PC 2007. . . ) and you can have it boot an already installed windows XP from a partition/hard drive, but when i boot from windows natively (not through Ubuntu) and then i boot into windows through virtualbox windows sees different hardware and makes me reactivate windows, now i activate windows, then boot back into windows natively, it will again see another hardware change and make me reactivate, right now after doing some research on the internet i found this site: http://mazimi.wordpress.com/2007/07/11/get...ng/#comment-872 that tells you to keep each of the WPA files wpa. dbl and wpa. bak for both activations (native activation and virutalbox activation) then with a script to change the activation files depending on how its being boot, before windows WPA can detect the changes. . . the site tells you to use gpedit. msc which i don't have (cause i installed pro from a home edition CD). . . i tried downloading the files needed to run it from a few different places but it doesn't show me anything under the computer configuration. . . . so my question does anyone know how to get a batch file to run before login, or even stop WPA from wanting me to reactivate when i switch from native to virtubox and vise-versa? (note: i cannot use a pro CD to install. . . because the 'hacked' version i have is a home edition CD key, that can only be used with the home edition WPA. . . note2: i cannot activate windows over the internet, i have to call them and activate windows. . . ) edit: fixed link...
