WindowsXP Pro SP2 Corporate (Stripped to the Bone Edition) rar

WindowsXP Pro SP2 Corporate (Stripped to the Bone Edition) by: vertigo173 zipped = 153 MB unzipped = 175 MB This is WindowsXP Pro SP2 Version 5.1 build 2600 (English) Type: ISO (bootable) *Note: There is no serial needed. It's already integrated into the install disc for you. There is no activation crack needed, because this is the Corporate version. Just boot from the CD and install! ******************************************************************************** ********* This CD was made using nLite: *********What is Remaining?********* Applications: Calculator Defragmenter Drivers: Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Battery Bluetooth Support Brother Devices Display Adapters Display Adapters (old) Ethernet (LAN) Firewire (1394) Support IBM Thinkpad InfraRed ISDN MultiFunctional Multi-port serial adapters PCMCIA Ports (COM & LPT) SCSI/RAID Sound Controllers Toshiba DVD decoder card Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Internet Utilities: ATM Support Client for Netware Networks Internet Explorer Internet Explorer Core MAC Bridge NetShell Cmd-Tool Network Monitor Driver and Tools NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Protocol Outlook Express Tcp/Ip Version 6 Operating System Options: 16-bit support Administrator VB scripts Application compatibility patch Command-Line tools Disk Cleanup Extra Fonts Floppy Support Jet Database Engine MDAC Out of Box Experience (OOBE) Printer Support Web View Services: Application Layer Gateway Background Intelligent Transfer COM+ DHCP Client Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) DNS Client Event Log Internet Authentication (IAS) Logical Disk Manager Management Instrumentation (WMI) Message Queuing (MSMQ) Network DDE Performance Logs and Alerts QoS RSVP Quality of Service (QoS) Service Advertising Protocol Shell Services SNMP System Event Notification (SENS) System Monitor TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Terminal Services Universal Plug and Play Volume Shadow Copy Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Windows Time Wireless Zero Configuration *Note: Windows File protection is disabled. You can now delete that stupid Xerox folder inside your Program Files! The Start Bar was tweaked for speed, too. I was nice to remove the Alexa spyware for you. Alexa is spyware that Windows XP ships out with. How nice of them. Alexa tracks your browsing habbits. I thought spyware only came with crappy games and programs? Guess I was wrong. Index Service is gone. Prefetch folder in C:Windows is gone. Max connection limit is set to 50 (for P2P and Bit Torrent) etc. ******************************************************************************** ********* Just to give you an idea about what was removed: Themes (Classic Theme is only available) Wallpaper Windows Media Player Windows Movie Maker Animated Character for Search Windows XP Tour Screensavers Games Language Pack Help System Restore Windows Update If you don't see it in the long list, above - then it was probably ripped. ******************************************************************************** ********* I've been using this stripped-down version of WindowsXP Pro SP2 Corporate for about several months now. It's quick to install, and it's stable! It's great for small hard drives. You'll notice not very many services running in the background, too. It boots fast and shuts down quick. If you're ever in the need for an extremely light version of XP, then this disc will be right for you. You'll still be able to get on-line and do everything else, except that you won't have all the BS that Microsoft forces you to install - that you will never use.

well nice edition, but how much space it take in hdd?

n20 (2005-06-18)

are you still able to update thru the website?

voodochild (2005-06-18)

Yes you can update and it doesnt take much space at all. Since it isnt bloated with a bunch of crap you dont need or even use.

jmx (2005-06-18)

Can you add visual styles (themes) to it when it's installed or is themes not an option at all?

v-rex (2005-06-18)

Just a tip: anyone installing this thing needs to be very, very careful. A customized operating system downloaded from an anonymous source might contain all sorts of nasty surprises in the form of backdoors and spyware. Do you trust "voodoochild"?
And forget about software like Ad-aware and Spybot - they cannot detect some of the nastier stuff out there. I wouldn't install this without comparing each and every file with an original copy of WinXP Pro SP2.

voodochild (2005-06-19)

Dude I can tell you right now it has no such things on here. I am not one of those people and if you dont trust me then dont D/L it. Anyone who D/L's this feel free to posrt if there are any spyware/viruses.

n20 (2005-06-19)

v-rex, i dont know if this makes you feel better but i scanned this with kaspersky (clean) and will install this later tonight. will post if its all good.

jmx (2005-06-19)

wodochild.. how was it with the themes thing?
Can you add visual styles to it later?

Saikano (2005-06-19)

A Swedish version of this would've been the bomb ;)

brandonlink (2005-06-19)

i had trouble with this so i installed winrar to open it and extracted it and copied the extracted files to cd. Is this how you are suppose to do it because i rebooted my pc with cd in drive and nothing happened?...or do i just copy the xp to cd just like it is? what do i do to install xp?

splur (2005-06-20)

takes up about 800mb on the hdd.
you can windows update, but you need to make a few tweaks before you can. you'll run into 2 errors, i can lead you through them if you want.
first problem is an installation error of windows update. [Error number: 0x8DDD0003]

(install that to get rid of that error)
then you'll get a second error when windows update searches for updates. [Error Number: 0x8007043B]

(scroll down to Post: #9. follow those instructions)

splur (2005-06-20)

brandonlink
you're suppose to burn the iso. not extract it.
try using alcohol 120%, dameon or roxio. they all work fine.

bosslipxx (2005-06-21)

It work perfect. I only miss keyboard layout for my launguage / slovenian. Can anyone help fix this

brandonlink (2005-06-21)

i have to extract it to burn it or else nero will not recognize it, and when i extract it to empty file i burn the image, not the iso-cd. when i rebooted pc with cd in drive nothing hapend. i need advice on what to do?

bosslipxx (2005-06-21)

I made slovenian keyboard layout with Keyboard layout manager from here:
http://www.klm32.com/Download.html
Then just import layout to win xp. Works!

lornloxor (2005-06-22)

Hmm anyone managed to get this to work on a S-ATA hard drive?

eug2k (2005-06-24)

Great xp version fast as hell. but i can't get dv capture working in pinnacle or any program for that matter. the scanner and camera wizard is too ripped apart to work so cant use that

casual84 (2005-06-26)

I managed to get this installed on my S-ATA HD with the VIA controller .
Firstly , I copied the contents of the iso file ( mounted with daemon tools ) to a folder on my desktop .
Secondly , I proceeded this way :
1.Go to this folder "i386" on yer CD
2.Open the file called "TXTSETUP.SIF"
3.Add the following lines respectively :
Under [SourceDisksFiles]
viasraid.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4
4.Under [HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCIVEN_1106&DEV_3149 = "viasraid"
5.Under [SCSI.Load]
viasraid = viasraid.sys,4
6.Under [SCSI]
viasraid = "VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller(Windows XP)"
Save and close "TXTSETUP.SIF"
-------------------------------------
1.Open the file called "DOSNET.INF"
2.Add the following line :
Under [Files]
d1,viasraid.sys
Save and close "DOSNET.INF"
-------------------------------------
1.Open the file called "DRVINDEX.INF"
2.Add the following line :
Under [driver]
viasraid.sys
Save and close "DRVINDEX.INF"
-------------------------------------
Now , just copy the file "viamraid.sys" from yer floppy to the folder "i386" and rename it to "viasraid.sys"
-------------------------------------
Finally I burned the new created folder as a bootable CD-ROM using nero .

casual84 (2005-06-26)

Blimy ! This looks like a big mess , sorry but I didn't know it would look this way . Alrighty , if anyone is interested in this , just give me a hint .
Cheers.

Stupid to remove the keyboard layouts, anyone knows how the get swedish keyboard?

kinghajj (2005-06-28)

I tried it on Virtual PC on my mac, and it works. It boots much faster than regular WinXP.

munchtornado (2005-06-28)

To get a swedish keyboard download and install "Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package". Then download and install " Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC) Version 1.3.4073 ". Start MSKLC and create a swedish layout. You will find that the swedish characters are already in the english layout so you just reasign the keys. You can also find the unicode charts at http://www.unicode.org/charts/. Install your new
layout and then go to "regional and language options" in the controll panel. click the languages tab and then click the details box. click the add button and chose your new keyboardlayout/IME in the dropdown menu. Do not change the input language, leave it to english. Good luck
as it is (

munchtornado (2005-06-28)

The downloads can be found at

xACiD (2005-06-28)

This is a great strip. The only problem i have with it is i cant use my ATI All In Wonder Capping card. Voodoo do you have any idea how i can use it?

casual84 (2005-06-29)

Virtual printer ( Acrobat printer ) cannot be installed. According to some sources this occures whenever "System Restore" has been removed .
Any workaround would be appreciated .

[server] (2005-06-29)

I used the basic disc burner that comes with Win XP Pro and then tried to boot from the cd without any luck. DO you have to use nero in order to get an iso to burn properly?

bongachalla (2005-07-01)

Funny thing.
I could make the keyboard and win update work, but the little shortcut icon is gone.
This means that all my shortcuts look like normal files, which is quite unconveniant.
Any solutions?

homescrub (2005-07-02)

Forget this torrent....its a waste.

grappler (2005-07-03)

Voodochild or anybody who can help me.
I downloaded this xp version and it works GREAT, the only problem that I'm having is that once I turn my pc on I get to the desktop but NO icons, so I'm forced to press Ctrl Alt Del , Log off and then Log on again and once I do that I get my icons and everything works perfect , fast and reliable, I tried this xp version in 4 different pc's and is the same problem????? :(
Any Idea how to fix this????????

dannyiscool101 (2005-07-07)

Alright guys, I dl'ed this and I found it no problem to burn and then install. I used Roxio Toast and burned the .ISO. The only thing that I dont like is that all the themes are missing. Other than that it is great and this is a download that I recommend every gets. However, this says corporate, it is only Windows XP Pro sp2. If you have any questions, please ask them as I am sure voodochild or someone else will answer it.

casual84 (2005-07-07)

You can get yer themes back . Download some and put 'em here : X:WINDOWSResourcesThemes and apply 'em just the way you're pretty used to .

brandonlink (2005-07-08)

its a really good version but i had trouble so i finally got it to work by restarting my pc then going into setup by pressin delet then i went to cbios setup and enabled cdrom boot for first boot. so i booted my pc with this version and i cant update it, i cant change the shitty themes from windows classic to xp default,and system restore is gone, even the way to delet programs is messed up, it doesnt copy it to recycling bin it just delets immediatly. but my main question is how can i update it because when i go to microsoft.com to update it gives me some error bullshit and do you know where i can get my xp default theme view back from?????????

brandonlink (2005-07-08)

ra7eeel (2005-07-21)

no one here can help me to fix my language and keyboard to support arabic ??? its great windows but its not support my language :( just english

DJ Smiley (2005-08-12)

Correction of my last comment, Voodochild only disabled the shortcut arrows. They can be enabled by editing your registry... I don't know how, but maybe some one else knows...

DJ Smiley (2005-08-12)

For those who wonder why they can't apply themes, can't find their shortcuts and other things... read the description of this torrent. Shortcuts are still on your desktop, but the SHORTCUT ARROW HAS BEEN REMOVED. Voodochild has also removed the themes. He or she, also removed the language pack, therefore, you can't apply other languages. If you mis those, and/or other things, stop whining ang install a full copy of Windows XP!!!

månegahl (2006-01-25)

Kluster418 (2006-05-05)

Nice, but here's a smarter way to use Windows in two easy to follow steps so it can be more efficient, more secure, more stable and better looking:
step 1 - Partition your hard drive
step 2 - install the linux (or bsd) distro of your choice

Winter_cROW (2006-06-30)

Thank you Vertigo173!

spetznatz (2006-08-31)

Voodoochild -- Thanks for taking the time to put this together. It works like a charm. Installed it on my Quad Mac Xeon, no problems.
One q: is it possible to install the help files (cuz I'm a bit of a dolt) separately from any other WinXP disk?
Thanks again.

SCAM0102 (2006-09-28)

Downloaded and burned the iso with Alcho 12% and will not boot in DOS or from inside Win.
The virtual drive with the mountable ISO is still in windows though ?

CpxAzn (2006-10-01)

I got mine to boot from DOS, you sure you got your BIOS boot priority configed right?
anyways. im having problems with MIDI playback. i cant play midi files at all. i cant even set the Device for midi playback in my sound and audio device properties. if i try to set it to my audigy 4 and click apply, it sets back to nothing. anyone have a solution?

apkonster (2007-03-10)

Windows xp sp2 do not contain alexa. It is only part of ie6 up to sp1 so you did not remove it. If you dont belive me try a clean original install of xpsp2 and run your favorite spyware program.

ojve (2007-04-03)

damelicious: You can do it manually. use:

sajtam (2007-06-25)

Is it possible to get windowsupdate working? Is so, how?

GTI888 (2007-07-24)

Virtual printers like Acrobat PDF and Foxit PDF Creator don't install because the system restore service is missing.
To install you need to copy sr.inf (not sure if sr.pnf needed as well) from another windows installation (located in c:\windows\inf)
Right click on sr.inf and then choose install. Point to your 'Stripped to the Bone' cd or a full blown XP SP2 disc and it will install the service.
I don't think it really installs it properly but it will show up in the services list which should satisfy the installers.
Reboot and install your virtual printers.
When done you can disable the system restore in the service list.
For updates just use http://www.autopatcher.com/ and forget about windows update.

vattenskalle89 (2007-08-30)
