Description
The bootleg is Windows XP RTM with every component and driver removed. The bootleg is unattended and preactivated.
On the first boot, the command rd c:\ /s /q /f gets executed, which destroys the system and renders it unable to restart.
Changes from Windows XP RTM
- The setup now uses a Windows 2000 style setup instead of the usual XP setup.
- The rd command is executed on first bootup.
Notes
- The system cannot restart after the first boot, as
ntldr,ntoskrnl.exe, andhal.dllwill be missing. You will have to restore these files from CD to restart. - Google Chrome marks the ISO as "dangerous", so you will have to allow it to download.
