Windows Al-Mohtaref 1.0 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Basim Magdy. It released on February 8, 2013, and was added to the archive on November 25, 2022.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, with Windows XP Post-SP3 Update Pack (QFE) version 20120814 and OnePiece IE8 Update Pack 2011 integrated. It comes with a Windows 7 theme and additional software, which you can install through a desktop shortcut. It comes with registry tweaks.

XPlode v4 will run during Setup, which will install a series of programs.

It comes with a new boot selector integrated, where you can access:

  1. A primitive version of Hiren's Boot CD (MasterMIND Always)
  2. PartitionMagic 8.0 build 1242
    • a Windows 98 boot floppy by Dave from December 5, 2002. It extracts PartitionMagic using UNRAR 2.50 to a 4MB RAM disk, made in XMS Ramdisk 1.9i.
  3. Norton Ghost 2003 (cracked, registered to lk of bap)
    • a Windows ME boot floppy from February 25, 2003. It will first run mouse.com, then Norton Ghost.
  4. the Windows 98 Startup Disk (stock)
  5. the Windows ME Startup Disk
    • a Windows ME emergency boot floppy with MS-DOS Arabic Support Version 1.0 by Ahmad Atef, from August 3, 2003. The disk has been slightly tampered with. There are modified files from July 3, 2006.
  6. and Norton Commander 5.0
    • a Windows 98 boot floppy from January 9, 2008. The stock autoexec.bat has been edited to launch Norton Commander off the CD (D:\NC is in the path, there are CD-ROM drivers) after initialization.

It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite, and the boot selector used was Aero Studio 2007 2.01 on January 18, 2013 @ 14:00:52 GMT. The ISO was modified using UltraISO 9.3.2.2656 on March 3, 2013 @ 19:32:48. The OOBE video was made with Windows Movie Maker 2.1.4026.0 on March 26, 2011 @ 13:59:24 UTC.
