Windows Black Heart is a bootleg Windows XP SP2 edition, which was created by Ahmed Hamdy. It released on February 14, 2008, and was added to the archive on August 9, 2022.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 ISO. It styles the OS with some hearts (hence the name), and with a Windows Vista theme. This bootleg comes with a Windows Vista looking theme and software.
It comes with its own autorun. Through it, you can install the bootleg, access "Programs Download Page" (opens the WPI), access a Web2EXE application containing instructions on how to use the bootleg, browse the CD and exit.
It comes with a boot selector integrated. Through it, you can access various system utilities such as Partition Magic 8.0, Norton Ghost 2003, DOS with SMARTDRV (just the Windows 98 boot floppy), Norton Commander 5.0, Active@ NTFS Reader for DOS v1.0.2 and Active@ Password Changer 3.0 build 0420 (cracked, registered to Horst Tacke).
It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite, the boot selector used was Aero Studio 2007 and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 7.1.1000.0. The ISO was touched up with UltraISO 8.6.
