Bypass The Activation In Windows XP



If you'll need to re-install Windows XP in your system this tip is for you. You can bypass the product activation of Windows XP during installation and activate it later to save time.

Before you re-install your Windows Xp make a copy of the activation files stored on your PC. Just Open Windows Explorer and work your way to C:\WINDOWS\system32 then copy the files wpa.dbl and wpa.bak to a floppy disc or USB memory stick and keep it in a safe place. So when you need to reinstall the Windows Xp, you can decline the product activation offer and let the installation continue.

When installation is complete reboot XP and press F8 to start the computer Safe mode. Open Windows Explorer, work your way to C:\WINDOWS\system32 again, and rename the existing wpa.dbl and wps.bak files (you can call then wba.old 1 and 2 for example) and copy your backed your wpa files from the floppy or memory stick into the same location.

Exit Windows and reboot.

This is more trouble than doing it normally!

The laziest way of doing it, is to slipstream your non windows drivers using something like a PE system and make a XP install disk with unattended setup.

Google "Barts PE slipstream" and "XP unattended"
