'''Windows XP Destroyed Edition V3''' is a bootleg Windows XP edition created by [[:Category:Bootlegs created by Bob Pony|Bob Pony]]. It is one of the few bootlegs based on XP RTM.
 
== Description ==
The OSbootleg is simplya stripped down Windows XP RTM ProfessionalISO, with every component and driver removed. OnThe thebootleg firstis bootup, it executes <code>rd c:\ /s /q /f</code> which destroys the systemunattended and renders it unable to restartpreactivated.
 
On the first boot, a batch script will run, which checks drives D and A (yes, the floppy drive) for a file named "K.CMD" which contains the command <code>rd c:\ /s /q /f</code>. If it successfully finds it, it will get executed, which destroys the system and renders it unable to restart.
== Changes from Windows XP ==
 
* Basically every component and driver in existence has been removed.
The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.3 on Windows 7 SP1.
 
== 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 ==
* You can bypass the entire destruction procedure by simply not having anything in the CD/floppy drive. ''Yeah''. Also, it'll only run once on the first boot, so..
* The system cannot restart on the first boot, as NTLDR will be missing. If you want to restart, make sure to restore NTLDR first.
* The system cannot restart after the first boot, as <code>ntldr</code>, <code>ntoskrnl.exe</code>, and <code>hal.dll</code> will be missing. You will have to restore these files from the CD to restart.
* Google Chrome marks the ISO as "dangerous", so you will have to allow it to download.
* Since this bootleg does not have winver.exe included, it had to be copied in from a genuine Windows XP RTM CD.
* The full name is set to "K".
* The computer name is set to "C".
* The workgroup name is set to "w".
