安装Win XP不用输序号

安装Win XP不用输序号

要做到安装Win XP不用输序号（是不用输，不是不用序号）要有一个前提，就是你的Win XP原文件已经考到了你的硬盘上或者你的光盘是可读写的。方法如下：在I386的文件下放一个叫WINNT.SIF的，内容如下：

=====================================================================
[UserData] ProductKey=FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8
//注意，这个是你的xp 的注册码，要写在这里，不一定与这个相同
[Data] AutoPartition=0
MSDosInitiated=0
UnattendedInstall=Yes
[Unattended]
UnattendMode=GuiAttended
TargetPath=WINNT
Hibernation=1
OemPreinstall=No
OemSkipEula=Yes
CrashDumpSetting=0

Adobe CS4 " Licensing for this product has expired " FIX!!!

So you installed Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection or any of its other applications, and now you can’t even open up any of these programs. You’re probably receiving the now semi-infamous “Licensing for this product has expired” pop up error.

This error will more than likely affect the use of the following programs:

Adobe InDesign CS4
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
Adobe Illustrator CS4
Adobe Flash CS4 Professional
Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Contribute CS4
Adobe After Effects CS4
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Adobe Soundbooth CS4
Adobe OnLocation CS4
Adobe Encore CS4

Don’t worry, because some guys over at who knows where got the fix that will save you many hours of headaches. The problem lies within the “amtlib.dll” file in each of the CS4 application directories. However, downloading a simple fix and updating each of the files with a newer one can solve this problem.

Step 1:
Download this file it includes both amtlib.dll files the second file(64bit) is only to be added to photoshop (64bit) folder the rest use the regular amtlib.dll file:If you download this file skip to step 3 !

Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/194411412/amtlib.dll_Files.rar

other files for step 2 using the " crack.bat ". Personally i like doing in manually its only like 17 files you need to change:

Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/192521711/CS4LicenseFix.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/186674885/AdobeCS4_License_Fix.rar
http://www.easy-share.com/1903472319/CS4LicenseFix.rar

Step 2:
Run the “crack.bat” file and allow for the file to be copied over to all the directories. This should fix all your problems.

If the above two steps didn’t work, try the following:
Step 3:
Search for: “amtlib.dll” in the Adobe folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\.

Step 4:
Replace all the “amtlib.dll” files in each of the Adobe folders with the file in the downloaded fix.

ONLY do the following steps if the previous steps didn’t work for you.
Step 5:
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, open the “hosts” file there with Notepad.

Step 6:
Add the following lines at the end of the file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 practivate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 3dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-2.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe-dns-3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 ereg.wip3.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sea.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 wwis-dubc1-vip60.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 activate-sjc0.adobe.com
::1 localhost

Step 7:
Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
and delete the file “cache.DB”

Step 8:
Enter a new serial number for the applications and open up any Adobe Creative Suite program.
Now everything should be working fine.

Systemed is Missing

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269075

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEMced

Restore a Backup of the System Hive

IMPORTANT: This procedure will not work on an active directory domain controller, because if you use the REPAIR folder system hive, then you are no longer a domain controller.

Use the Repair Console tool to replace the backup copy of the System hive from the repair folder. If the Repair Console tool is not installed on your computer, you can run it from the Emergency Repair process:

Use the Windows 2000 CD-ROM or the Windows 2000 Startup disk to start the computer.
When you see the "Welcome to Setup" message, press R for "repair."
Press C to run the Recovery Console tool.
Select the installation that you want to repair.
Type the administrator password.

If the computer is a domain controller, type the password for Directory Services Restore Mode when you are prompted to do so.For additional information about the Recovery Console tool, click the article numbers below to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
239803 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239803/EN-US/ ) How to Change the Recovery Console Administrator Password on a Domain Controller
223301 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223301/EN-US/ ) Protection of the Administrator Account in the Offline SAM
At the Recovery Console command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after you type each command:
cd system32\config
ren system system.old
ren system.alt systemalt.old
If you have run the Emergency Repair Disk Wizard from Windows Backup and Recovery tools, copy the backup of the System hive from the %SystemRoot%\Repair\Regback folder.

If you have not run the Emergency Repair Disk Wizard, copy the default System hive from the %SystemRoot%\Repair folder.

IMPORTANT: You need to restore the most recent copy of the System hive. You also need to reinstall any hardware device drivers or programs that run as services that you installed since the last time that you updated your Emergency Repair Disk.

To copy the default System hive, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
copy c:\winnt\repair\system c:\winnt\system32\config
To copy the System hive that was backed up the last time that you ran the Emergency Repair Disk Wizard, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
copy c:\winnt\repair\regback\system c:\winnt\system32\config
At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER to restart your computer.

Reduce the Size of the System Hive

If a large number of resources are shared on the computer, the registry may become too large. To resolve this issue, use the following steps.

Start registry editor (Regedt32.exe).
Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Share
On the Registry menu, click Save Key.
In the File name box, type Shares.new, and then click Save.
Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
On the Registry menu, click Load Hive.
In the list of files, click the System.old file, and then click Open.
In the Key Name box type System.old, and then click OK.
Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select
Note the setting for the Default value.
Locate and click the following key in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System.old\ControlSetx\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
where x is the number that you noted in step 8.
On the Registry menu, click Save Key.
In the File name box, type Shares.old, and then click Save.
Restore the Shares.new key to the System.old registry hive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System.old\ControlSetx\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
Click the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System.old key.
On the Registry menu, click Unload Hive.
Quit Registry Editor.
Restart the computer to the Recovery Console.
At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
ren system system.org
ren system.old system
At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER to restart the computer.

How to change entries in VISTA boot loader !!!

http://www.flexbeta.net/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t8373.html

=====================
Modify your VISTA Boot Menu
=====================

Do you also have several cryptical entries in your personal new VISTA bootloader?

Does it look like:

Legacy (pre-Longhorn) Microsoft Windows Operating System
Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows
....

Don't know which Windows is which entry?

Then you need this new guide with my experiences!

You will get a "new" boot menu! For example:

Legacy (pre-VISTA) XP, 2000, 2003, WIN98x
VISTA 5259 TAP
VISTA 5231 IDX
WINDOWS SERVER 2003

======
Theory
======

Till VISTA build 5231 we have had the new VISTA LOADER and for XP, 2000, 2003
and Win 98 the all known NTLDR called NT Loader or NT Bootloader and the mirror
of that is BOOT.INI...

With VISTA 5259 we have a new hierarchy:

First loader: VISTA loader called bootmgr, a "BOOTMANAGER"
Second Loader: NTLDR (XP,2003,98...)

VISTA looks in its "DATA STORE", were the new entries will be hold.
In the beta state of VISTA we have only two programs, which can help us:

MSCONFIG (which does not see the legacy OS)
BCDEDIT.EXE

==========
BCDEDIT.EXE
==========

Please press START and RUN (have you activate "RUN"? >Go to ADMINISTRATOR, right-click Taskbar, Properties, Start Menu, Start Menu Customize, check Run command, OK) and type in: command and press OK.

Yes, it looks like MS-DOS! It's name is Windows DOS...

Then you must type in: bcedit
and the nice program starts and shows for example this:

Microsoft® Windows DOS

D:\USERS\ADMINI~1>

Sorry - a long one, but you will see, I have several entries of the same kind.
Partition H:\ three times and J:\ even more...

=========
Backup first!
=========

First of all, we need a backup/copy of our boot entries!

Step 1: Change to ADMINISTRATOR

Step 2: Type in: bcdedit -?

This will show us the HELP MENU of bcdedit.exe:

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>bcdedit -?

BCDEDIT - Boot Configuration Data Store Editor

The Bcdedit.exe command-line tool modifies the boot configuration data store.
The boot configuration data store contains boot configuration parameters and
controls how the operating system is booted. These parameters were previously
in the Boot.ini file (in BIOS-based operating systems) or in the nonvolatile
RAM entries (in Extensible Firmware Interface-based operating systems). You can
use Bcdedit.exe to add, delete, edit, and append entries in the boot
configuration data store.

For detailed command and option information, type bdedit.exe /? . For
example, type "bcdedit.exe /? /createstore" (without quotes).

For command and option information, please run "bcdedit /? " where
is one of the help topics listed below.

/bootdebug Enables or disables boot debugging for a boot application.

/bootems Enables or disables Emergency Management Services for a boot
application.

/bootsequence Sets the one-time boot sequence for the boot manager.

/copy Makes copies of entries in the store.

/create Creates new entries in the store.

/createstore Creates a new and empty boot configuration data store.

/dbgsettings Sets the global debugger parameters.

/debug Enables or disables kernel debugging for an operating system
entry.

/default Sets the default entry that the boot manager will use.

/delete Deletes entries from the store.

/deletevalue Deletes entry options from the store.

/displayorder Sets the order in which the boot manager displays the multiboot
menu.

/ems Enables or disables Emergency Management Services for an
operating system entry.

/emssettings Sets the global Emergency Management Services parameters.

/enum Lists entries in the store.

/export Exports then contents of the system store to a file. This file
can be used later to restore the state of the system store.

formats Displays the formats of the data required by the /set command.

id Displays the identifier parameter options that can be used
in several Bcdedit commands such as /create and /copy.

/import Restores the state of the system store using a backup file
created with the /export command.

/set Sets entry option values in the store.

/store Specifies the boot configuration data store to use.

/timeout Sets the boot manager time-out value.

/types Displays the data types required by the /set and /deletevalue
commands.

/v Displays all entry identifiers in full, rather than using
shorthand notation for the well-known identifiers.

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>

Step 3: Type in: bcdedit -? export

You will get:

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>bcdedit -? export

bcdedit /export

This command exports the contents of the system store into a file. This file
can be used later to restore the state of the system store. This command is
only valid for the system store.

The filename to be used as the desination for the export.
If the filename contains spaces, it must be enclosed in
double quotes (").

Example:

The following example will export the system store to the specified file:

bcdedit /export "C:\Data\BCD Backup"

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>

Step 4: Please make a new folder: C:\DATA

Step 5: Type in: bcdedit /export "C:\Data\BCD Backup"

You have now a BACKUP of bootmgr entries! With "import" you are able to restore it!!
You can afterwards also safe your new entries, no problem like:

bcdedit /export "C:\Data\BCD My New Boot Entries"

==========================
DELETE DOUBLE ENTRIES IN bootmgr
==========================

In the next step we will wipe out the double entries. (Always use your OWN identifiers!
My used one are only for explanation!!)

Step 6: Look at the double entries like: Device: partition=H:

Step 7: Type in: bcdedit -? delete

You will get:

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>bcdedit -? delete

bcdedit -delete [-f]

This command will delete an entry from the boot configuration data store.

This specifies the identifier of the boot entry to be
deleted.

[-f] bcdedit will not delete any entries that have a well known
identifier. To force such a delete operation, specify this
flag.

Examples:

The following command will delete the specified OS entry from the store:

bcdedit -delete {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71}

The following command will delete the legacy OS loader entry from the store:

bcdedit -delete {legacy} -f

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>bcdedit -delete {4f964faa-3d7a-11da-bb88-b7df6f4d4219}
The operation completed successfully.

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>

Let explain with the follow examples of my bootmgr entries:

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
Identifier: {871d699a-68d1-11da-9f30-eb66f9279051}
Type: 10200003
Device: partition=H:
Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Description: Microsoft Windows
Locale: en-US
Inherit options: {emssettings}
{dbgsettings}
{5189b25c-5558-4bf2-bca4-289b11bd29e2}
Windows device: partition=H:
Windows root: \Windows
No Execute policy: OptIn

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
Identifier: {d3e15d7c-66fb-11da-83c4-f23116dca051}
Type: 10200003
Device: partition=H:
Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Description: Microsoft Windows
Locale: en-US
Inherit options: {emssettings}
{dbgsettings}
{5189b25c-5558-4bf2-bca4-289b11bd29e2}
Windows device: partition=H:
Windows root: \Windows
No Execute policy: OptIn

I want to delete the second (blue) one:
Identifier: {d3e15d7c-66fb-11da-83c4-f23116dca051}

Step 8: Type in: bcdedit -delete {d3e15d7c-66fb-11da-83c4-f23116dca051}

It is away!
All of this commands needs only the correct Identifier to scratch!
Now we can delete all other double entries in the same way.

=====================
RENAME ENTRIES in boot menu
=====================

The next step is to rename the entries.

The easiest one is the one you are in. If you have bootet VISTA 5259 TAP
you must type in:

Step 9: Type in: H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>bcdedit -set DESCRIPTION "VISTA 5259 TAP"

The operation completed successfully. Test it:

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>bcdedit

The desription of your booted VISTA has changed from only "Microsoft Windows" to
"VISTA 5259 TAP"!

You can now boot in a other VISTA build, maybe 5231 or another. In 5231 for example there is also a BCDEDIT.EXE and you must type in the same with an other description or you are in VISTA 5259 and
you want to change the description from your "other" VISTA.

Step 10: Type in: H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>bcdedit -set {748c9ce4-6497-11da-b587-ba41a6a3f856} DESCRIPTION "VISTA 5231 IDX"

You have easily changed the description of your second VISTA, if have use the correct IDENTIFIER!

From my 6 entries about WINDOWS SERVER 2003 I have deleted 5 and renamed the last:

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>bcdedit -set {6bde53aa-630a-11da-b591-bb4bd04c9f19} DESCRIPTION "WINDOWS SERVER 2003"

=============================
START XP/2000/20003/98x automatically
=============================

Now to the following problem:

You want to boot in your XP (2003, WIN98x) automatically?

MSCONFIG does not yet! Look in!

BCDEDIT does!

Step 11: Type in: bcdedit ? default

You will get:

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>bcdedit -? default

This command sets the default entry that the boot manager will use when the
time-out expires.

bcdedit /default

Specifies the identifier of the boot entry to be used as the
default when the time-out expires.

Examples:

The following command sets the specified entry as the default boot manager
entry:

bcdedit /default {cbd971bf-b7b8-4885-951a-fa03044f5d71}

The following command sets the legacy Windows loader (Ntldr) as the default
entry:

bcdedit /default {legacy}

H:\USERS\ADMINI~1>

So a easy task, isn't it? You only must do Step12!

Step 12: Type in: bcdedit /default {legacy}

To look at the correct entry, look at "DEFAULT":

Timeout: 3

Yes, it worked!

========================
CHANGE {legacy} to a nicer one!
=======================

In the next and last step we will learn to change the description entry of {legacy} from:

Legacy (pre-Longhorn) Microsoft Windows Operating System

to a neater one like:

Legacy (pre-VISTA) XP, 2000, 2003 , WIN98x

Step 13: Type in: bcdedit -set {legacy} DESCRIPTION "Legacy (pre-VISTA) XP, 2000, 2003, WIN98x"

Let's have a look, how it worked:

Windows Legacy OS Loader
------------------------
Identifier: {legacy}
Type: 10300006
Device: partition=C:
Path: \ntldr
Description: Legacy (pre-VISTA) XP, 2000, 2003, WIN98x

Pefect!

With that renamed entry you will go directly in your NTLDR loader and there is working the good old
well known BOOT.INI!

Nice program, the BCDEDIT.EXE, isn't it?

Like I have read anywhere in internet MS is planning to give us a GUI for that bootmgr editing!

I hope, we will get a fast, safe, and nice VISTA 2006!

Have fun with BCDEDITing and please, don't forget to make first my described BCD Backup before
you fiddle to much and nothing worked for you after reboot.

HELP: After everey step type in: bcdedit and you will see what have worked.
Look at the "Windows Device", "Description" and "Identifiers".

Have fun!

Installing Bartpe To Usb Flash Disk

http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10806

Installation of PE2USB:
You should copy the files pe2usb.cmd and pe2usb.bin to your
directory.

For successful installing BartPE to a USB flash disk you need:

1) A USB flash disk with a capacity of 256MB or more
2) Server 2003 SP1 (or a release candidate). You can download this from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=02734CEA-7A4B-4D95-B220-8E1708C3ED46
This file is large, about 350MB!!!
Unpack the files from the service pack (this is not installing) with:
sr1sp.exe -x, lets assume you extract it to c:\server2003sp1
Create the folder \srsp1
Copy the file c:\server2003sp1\i386\setupldr.bin to the \srsp1 folder
Expand the file c:\server2003sp1\i386\ramdisk.sy_ to the \srsp1 folder
expand -r c:\server2003sp1\i386\ramdisk.sy_ \srsp1
You can now remove the c:\server2003sp1 folder, not needed anymore...
3) Build BartPE using pebuilder as normal, you must set the output folder to
"BartPE", you do not need to generate an ISO image for now.
4) Run "pe2usb -f " to format and install the files to your UFD.
Formatting is only needed the first time, so next time you can run
"pe2usb " (without -f) to update the BartPE files.

For successful booting BartPE from a USB flash disk you need:
1) A PC that is capable of booting from a USB flash disk with 256MB memory
or more.
