[#] INFORMATIONS:
----------------------------------------------------------------

(o) General:

1. Based on the original Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit (Volume License) ISO file from Microsoft.
2. All integrated Windows XP HotFixes (Updates) are based on the QFE/LDR branch. Microsoft releases the Hotfixes in two different branches GDR that have only security fixes and QFE also called LDR that have the same security fixes but have also bug fixes. The Windows XP Update Center will install the GDR HotFix branch and a Manual HotFix installation and a Service Pack will install the QFE/LDR HotFix branch.
3. Fully Updatable and passes all Validation Checks and no Windows XP Activation or Crack or Key needed.
4. The installation process is Unattended with the Recovery Console and Repair option, A valid WGA CD-Key and all the other user required inputs are filled in automatically during the Windows XP installation.
5. Runs a little faster than a regular Windows XP because all the Windows XP Update are slipstreamed and because some obsolete stuff has been removed (Nothing has been removed that could cause system or software problems).
6. After the Windows XP installation a menu will appear where you can then choose which {Optional} extras you want to integrate. If nothing was selected after 5 minutes then the default selected {Optional} extras are integrated.
7. All Custom Settings are also applied on new created user accounts on the first account login.

(o) Important:

1. This Windows XP is not for Upgrading you must make a clean installation on a formatted Hard disk drive or Partition.
2. Before doing a real installation it is recommended to do a test installation with a Virtual Machine program, such as VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org).

(o) For Rookies:

1. System Requirements are (Recommended/Minimum): 1200/350 MegaHertz x86 Processor, 512/128 MegaBytes of RAM, 1024?68/800x600 Video Adapter, 10/4 GigaByte of available Hard Disk space.
2. If you can't find the drivers for your computer then try the tool "Ma-Config" (http://www.ma-config.com) or the tool "DriverPack Solution" (http://www.drp.su), But it is recommend to download the drivers directly from the Website of the chipset manufacturers.
3. If you miss some default Windows XP programs then take a look in the Windows XP Favorites folder to get Weblinks to better alternative programs. Some of the default Windows XP programs are removed because they have been replaced by Microsoft a long time ago. For example the Outlook Express program was replaced years ago with the freely available Windows Live Mail program.
4. The Windows XP CD-Key can be change with the "Windows XP CD-Key Changer vX.X.vbs" tool in the directory "*.iso\OEM\WXPPx86BE\".
5. If you have a question or a problem then visit the Website "http://www.zone54.com", But first make sure if you can't find the solution in 10-20 minutes on a Web Search Engine like Google (http://www.google.com) or over the MSFN Forum Search Engine (http://www.msfn.org).

(o) Administrative:

* To modify This Windows XP open the ISO file "Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit - Black Edition 201X.XX.XX.iso" with a Zip-Archive Program (http://www.7-zip.org) and extract everything except the "[BOOT]" folder (if present) into an empty folder and to make a Bootable ISO file use the tool nLite (http://www.nlite.com).
1. With some scripting knowledge it is possible to integrate additional Programs and Custom Settings by editing the files with a Text Editor in the directory "*.iso\OEM\RunOnce\" and the files "WINNT.SIF", "NLITE.IN_", "RUNONCE.INF" "ROHKLM.CM_" and "ROHKCU.CM_" in the directory "*.iso\I386\", [DOS uncompress Command Line is (expand -r "folder\file.IN_") and DOS compress Command Line is (makecab "folder\file.INF")].
2. A full automated installation can be done by removing ";FUI#" with a Text Editor from the "WINNT.SIF" file in the directory "*.iso\I386\". If setting the "Repartition" option from "No" to "Yes" then the Windows XP Setup will not only skip the EULA agreement but will then also automatically format the main Hard Disk Drive and install itself on a new created partition. Note that the Recovery Console and Repair option can no longer be accessed from disc when doing a Full Unattended installation.
