I have windows XP Home edition Service pack 3 installed on my PC. I want to format my hard disk and reinstall windows XP Home Service pack 3 on the same PC. Does anybody knows how i can pre activate windows? Can i back up the activation files from my current activated windows and use them to activate my new installation? Is there any other way to pre activate windows?
It can be done, but you have to have the correct files (for a "clean install", from your PC installation) and the correct key (can also be obtained from your own PC installation; not the COA). Just did this for a friend from his OEM Dell PC (he didn't have the full OEM backup CD, but did have the I386 folder and appropriate files, just had to get his SLP key).
Windows Xp Service Pack 3 Preactivated Download

Yes the CD came with the PC. It's windows XP Home Service Pack 2. I want to slipstream Service Pack 3 and hotfixes for a clean installation. What to you mean by "flavor o XP" ? The hardware is the same. When i install windows from this CD they are not activated and i have to go online. I searched and found that i can back up the wpa.dpl file or the OEM files in directory system 32 and copy them to the new cd but i didn't understand how. Do you know if this will work? Any other ideas?
The OEM files are only used to validate an autoactivated XP. From xwhat you say, it is not your case. For the wpa.dbl file method, I'm not sure it works. I think this was pre SP2. Plus you had to havr the same Volume identifier for your system drive (so deleteing previous Windows was ok but no format, unless you had a tool to change that identifier). Is not having go online or having to activate worth the hassle...?
Find the SLP key from your PC (any good keyfinder will get it) and follow method three (my suggexted method). OR use method two (as Ponch suggests). Either one will allow for "no phoning home" (pre-activated). Bear in mind that the WPA.DBL trick is touchy since it requires replacing the one generated after installation (un-activated is initially generated).
Trust me, method three works... again I did it for a friend (a legitimate OEM install) and then slipstreamed the SP3 to it via nLite and burned his backup CD. Worked like a charm. And AFAIK perfectly legal, since it was only using what was pre-existing on his PC. BTW, you will need the complete I386 folder and the associated files/'key'.
Oh, and Ponch may be right about the WPA.DBL trick as that identifier may change if re-partitioned. As I recollect, I reformatted only before the reinstall on friend's PC, so it may have still applied. Any way you slice it, it still is legal since the COA is yours as are the installation files (on the HDD/CD). And I have to agree, what diff does it make if you're legal in any case?
Yes you are wright the best method is to go on line and activate windows. Do you know how many time i can do this without any change in the hardware? I tried the method with the OEMBIOS files but it doesn't seams to work. The SLP key i found on my PC is the same with COA. Do you think i did somethig wrong? Can i try something else?
Motherboard: Asus S 939, CPU: AMD Athlon 3500+ . The CD that came with the PC is a recovery CD-ROM. What do you mean by hologram disk? In the past i used this disk for a clean install but windows were not preactivated and i had to go online to activate them. Can i make windows preactivated with the CD i have? If yes how i can do this?
Not it's not a hologram disk. It is from a local shop in my country. On the CD it is written: Recovery CD-ROM and The software of this recovery cd-rom is preinstalled on my hard drive from the factory and i can use it to recover my system. For distribution with a new PC only. There is no company name like Dell, HP etc only the name of the shop i bought my PC. Do you have any idea what i can do?
Sounds like a small system-builder shop built this machine - were you provided a COA sticker (Certificate of Authenticity) with the 25-character product key on it in the materials with the computer? Don't post the key, but it should look like one of these. If it doesn't, you most likely have a non-genuine (non-legal) copy of Windows installed on that PC. From the Microsoft.com piracy site:
Yes my windows are genuine. When i bought my PC the manufacturer had put a COA sticker on the tower of my PC in which it's written the version of windows i have on my hard disk (Windows XP Home Edition), the name of the company i bought my PC, the product key etc. Also they gave me a small green booklet that says on the front 'For distribution with a new PC only. I want to slipstream Service Pack 3 and make my new disk preactivated. Do you know if i can do this?
I just bought a dell inspiron 3501 laptop in Pakistan and was literally shocked to find no activated windows 10 installed. I had no idea it would be like that with dell here. I know dell does not sell directly here but it does have official resellers mentioned on its website. In the same price in other countries such as Malaysia, people can get activated windows and also the office but for us, just this empty machine . I am so mad. It is my first experience for buying a laptop in Pakistan and I was taking windows for granted honestly. Last time when I bought was abroad and it definitely came with a genuine window pre-installed. If dell cannot offer services at par, perhaps it should refrain from authorizing dealers and agents here as well.
I have checked through service tag. You are correct. It did not originally come with Windows pre-installed. This Inspiron 3501 shipped from Dell with Ubuntu Linux 20.04. I am a bit shocked here though. I wish I had asked the reseller before buying if it would come with windows. But as I mentioned already, I was taking windows for granted huh. But anyways, it is just not something I would be happy with. I wish I had bought abroad instead. But I was fooled by the instructions mentioned on DELL and reseller's website.
@AsadAwan I disagree with @nyc10036 that it's nothing to do with Dell. If Dell is officially listing these resellers on Dell's own website, then Dell has an interest in making sure those resellers operate the way they're supposed to. That said, you should check the Service Tag of your system to make sure that it was originally built with Windows in the first place. Go to support.dell.com, enter your Service Tag, and choose to view the Original System Configuration. Is a Windows version listed? If so, you can use some other PC to download Windows directly from Microsoft and use their Media Creation Tool to create a bootable flash drive that you can use to install Windows onto this system you bought. But maybe it was sold with no OS at all in order to reduce costs by avoiding the need for a Windows license. I know that Dell sells servers with that option. I don't think they sell laptops that way in my location, but they might do that in other areas for people who might want to install Linux and therefore don't want to pay for Windows. But again, if your system was built with a Windows license, then you should be able to install that version and activate it.
I am not sure here. But seriously I am unhappy. I bought from a reseller mentioned on DELL website and I do not understand the logic behind not giving a laptop with windows pre installed. As I mentioned already, I was taking windows for granted huh. I wish I had asked before buying. Reseller says I have to pay extra to get windows. And I seriously don't like this bulky husky heavy laptop with weird shape. I would say here ASUS is still the best. Is there anyway I can return it to dell and get rid of it? and why is it so difficult to contact DELL. Previously I had asus and honestly, you can email or chat to them anytime of the day and even five years after buying the laptop. They respond quickly. But I do not know what DELL is up to in Pakistan. ASUS is not in Pakistan and it does not even ask anyone to buy or have any agents in Pakistan. If DELL cannot operate here directly, it should leave huh. I am checking the same machine on malaysia and other countries websites, and they are able to get same piece with windows and office too (in the same price I paid in Pakistan). so do we deserve less than other counties' people?

Chances are you found a very low price on the system, and took the offer without checking. It's not uncommon for sellers in price-pressured markets to strip away even "standard" equipment and sell it at a premium. 152ee80cbc
