Ghost XP Skype is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Cuong Hoang KTV. It released on February 8, 2014, and was added to the archive on November 19, 2023.
Description
This bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 Professional distribution. It is essentially a repacked version of Skype XP, an existing Egyptian bootleg (itself based on Android XP), placed into a Norton Ghost image, but also includes more themes and programs that it originally came with (but, like the original, does not include Skype). Other than that, Easy DriverPacks 5.3.2.2 (which contains driverpacks to extract) will run on the first boot of the setup.
It is packaged in the Ghost image format using Norton Ghost 11.02, which has to be restored through a separate Norton Ghost utility. Since the bootleg does not come with its own Norton Ghost utility, you will have to use your own copy to install this bootleg.
It is unattended and preactivated.
