Tomato Garden XP 3.0 is a bootleg Windows XP SP2 edition, which was created by TomatoLei. It released on April 9, 2008, and was added to the archive on November 1, 2022.

The release is notable since it's the only known copy of YlmF Tomato Garden XP to be released in English. Every other release was in Chinese (though, the boot selector and WinPE is still in Chinese). This release wasn't widely distributed and is very rare.

Description

The OS is a modified Windows XP SP2 distribution. It comes with a boot selector integrated. Through it, you can access Symantec Ghost 11.0.2 Corporate Edition (cracked, registered to Brad Smith), the YLMF boot disk (and NTFS for DOS), Symantec PartitionMagic 8.05 build 192 and Disk Manager 9.57. It comes with one new theme and some programs.

The ISO was made using nLite, the boot selector used was EasyBoot, and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Menu Loader 5.1.0.341.

Notes

The copy of Norton Ghost used for the (A) option in the menu is broken.
NTFS for DOS does not work.
The WinPE is still in Chinese, despite the OS being in English.
Since the WinPE did not have winver.exe, it had to be copied in from a genuine Windows XP CD.
On first startup, Device Manager is automatically opened.
The CD has its own icon.
The CD label is named "YlmF_EN_YE3.0".
