Posted August 24, 200519 yr I know a lot of you guys use linux but does anyone know how to get service pack 1 and 2 for windows xp if your key isnt legit?
August 25, 200519 yr Download them from an independent site? If not, try to get a torrent. If all else fails, limewire or kazaa or whatever it.
August 25, 200519 yr Author theyre all dling at 0. ive tried every major torrent site. got any ideas of any independant sites i can get them from?
August 25, 200519 yr First off, what does linux have to do with your question? And, I think even if your key isn't legit you can still update Windows.
August 25, 200519 yr Author i know a lot of people here use linux. i didnt want a response like "Get linux noob" ive tried updating. its not working.
August 25, 200519 yr Change your Windows XP cdkey to one that gets past these filters of MS. http://www.mike-devlin.com/windows/key.htm#change Download the tool which will generate and change the CDkey for you. Then you can do Windows updates again.
August 25, 200519 yr Author nothing is working. i tried ur method too peterson. a couple of times. thanks for tryin to help guys.. any more ideas guys?
August 25, 200519 yr Well if you don't mind waiting a week for the free cd arrive in the mail then just order one from microsoft and then use the key changer. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx
August 26, 200519 yr im pretty sure you can use any corporate (pro) key, i used one and sp1/2 insteall fine. (im not sure if the available keygens generate corporate keys or not?)
September 1, 200519 yr if you need something to change your xp key I have a program called rock xp that changes it for you tell me your email and I'll send it to you. If you need sp 1 or 2 try IRC (packetnews.com has it)
September 3, 200519 yr I ordered a CD with SP2 on it for free from Microsoft. My XP is legitimate though, so who knows :ughwerd:
September 3, 200519 yr I've installed service packs over blacklisted keys with no problems. If it doesn't work, just download a copy of XP with SP2 and use a volume license key for it. I don't think they bother verifying those.
