Not to be confused with the original, stock Windows XP SP2.

Windows XP SP2 Full (also known as Windows XP_sp2_Full & Office 2003) is a bootleg Windows XP SP2 edition, which was created by an unknown author. It released on August 4, 2004, at least a few weeks before Microsoft started releasing Windows XP SP2 CDs (at this time it was still only available through Windows Update), making it the earliest Windows XP SP2 bootleg.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 distribution, which is packaged as a Norton Ghost file. The install procedure is simple - the CD will boot you into the Windows 98 startup disk which has been modified to provide you with links to a bundled copy of Norton Ghost. Once you proceed into launching Norton Ghost, it will first initialize the CD drivers necessary for Ghost to detect the CD and be able to restore files, then it will launch Ghost to automatically restore the image for you.

It comes with some themes, a wallpaper and some programs. It is really barebones. Even back then, there were more complex and feature packed Windows XP bootlegs such as the early Windows XP Gold series (not to be confused with the one produced by a certain team).

It is preactivated.
