Hidden Windows XP Serial Key
A day before, I am trying to pre-configure my Windows installation disc. I noticed that there is a file located in the disc that has the Product key. It contains information about how to automate the installation or upgrade so the setup runs without requiring user input.
Where is it?
Open windows explorer and go to the [discdrive]\I386 folder, browse for "Winnt.sif" file and drag it to notepad...

Re: Hidden Windows XP Serial Key

Re: Hidden Windows XP Serial Key
^^^^^ No no.......
vishalgmistry means the discdrive i.e. Win XP CD
Thr is a folder called i386.
Not our C:\ drive

Posted again:
-----------------------------------------
btw right clicking doesn't show the serial key. The no is sumthing else. I dunno what it is. But its not the serial key.
