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, 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 - you will be able to access Norton Ghost through the Windows 98 startup disk which has been modified to provide you with links to it. Then it will 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's really barebones, but for a bootleg this old, you really can't complain. Anyways, it is preactivated.

Notes

Remarks

This bootleg was ripped from a physical CD packaged in a jewel case with a cover on it. The cover named the bootleg as "Ghost Windows XP SP2 Full". The only other section on the cover was a brief list of the software this bootleg comes with.

Bootleg quirks

StyleXP is meant to run on startup, but due to a really high version number, it won't work.

CD contents and other info

The install inside the Ghost image is dated August 19, 2003. Wow! It would've ran XP SP1(a) at the time, since SP2 wasn't available in 2003 yet. It was upgraded to SP2 around July 20, 2004. Both images on the CD are dated July 20, 2004, even though there are files more recent than that in the actual images. The Ghost image was made in Norton Ghost 7.60, according to Ghost Explorer.
The install in the Ghost image is formatted as FAT32. Yeah...
You can install Norton Commander straight from the CD, in the "NC" folder.
There are binaries for PowerQuest Partition Magic 8.0 in the CD root, but there is no way to access them normally.
