Saturday Yard Sale Find Reply #19 – June 10, 2009, 03:44:34 PM Quote from: Romeo2k;276774Wont the HP drive boot on another board? I dont recall if its propietary.A couple weeks back I tried to boot a generic computer with a ASUS MB & AMD 1466 processor from a XP loaded HD that was out of the wife's 2.53G P-IV Dell... After it went through the POST it just set there, never went any farther... I had cloned that drive onto a larger one and was working a year or so ago... I can read it from the external USB HD adapter, so it still ought to be OK... The AMD is my nephews old 'puter that had a failed HD and he wanted to get it going again... I used the Dell CD to reinstall reinstall XP on another HD for him(he doesn't have any discs) and it came up and seemed to run OK, just won't be able to register that copy, not sure what he's going to do...

Saturday Yard Sale Find Reply #20 – June 10, 2009, 05:49:28 PM A friend of mine got me out from under win 98 with ME. then when the time came, we installed XP on that computer. neither one was registrable so i turned the windows update deal off, and we also used a key gen to get the OS fully open etc.all your nephew can do IIRC, is stop the computer from trying to talk to MS.. does it need a reg key or was that already taken care of?W-OT do you guys remember when net zero was free but you were limited to a certain amount of time? we figured out how to get around it by just using the info that was provided and we set it up just like another ISP. we bypassed the program that net zero used to keep track of your time. instead of 30 min of internet or whatever it was, we were 100% unlimited. i did this while i still had bellsouth so there was no real reason to do this except my friend didnt have internet and he was tired of the timer so we set off to figure it out. wasnt hard at all really.. suprisingly.

Saturday Yard Sale Find Reply #21 – June 10, 2009, 06:49:36 PM Well I have the key code, but XP wants to register with Micro$$oft and only gives 30 days before it shuts down and will not operate... There is supposed to be a way to edit the registry so it "thinks" it's been registered, and I went through the steps but it was still saying it needed to be registered last time it was on(there is a difference in registering and activating[key code])... The computer was his grandfathers he sort of inherited when he passed away, so has sentimental value if nothing else... Never did find the disks, likely were trashed when the house was cleaned out and sold...Possibly he can call Micro$$oft with a sob story and get it registered... They can issue a new key code that would be unique to that computer... Quote Selected
