tim Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 @tim: you dont need a valid key to boot from the cd/dvd! you'll need it later during installation, but you can safely boot without one.I think you missed the point.To get the boot files using "winnt32 /noreboot" needs a valid key.Is it possible to use the boot floppies to create the boot files?I tried but this gives me the CDBOOT error 5.

Tribble Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 the peoples with error code 5, cannot boot from cd.take a clean boot sector from ur winxp cd (use isobuster or bbie for example) and edit it according to the guide. And please use Hex Workshop v4.23 to hex edit the file, since other hex editors might damage the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
