Finding Windows XP version from I386 folder


mGforCe

Recommended Posts

I got a multiboot DVD containing different versions of Windows XP like OEM , Simple Chinese , Traditional Chinese.. Since this is Multiboot so the names of I386 folders have been changed to other 4 letter words . I wanna know which folder has which version of Windows XP.. ie whether it is English , Chinese or what.. Is there any tool which we can use to find out ??? Or which files tells us the version info ??

Attached is pic of the Files on the DVD

..and the site says there is a server version..

The SuperWinAIO-DVD of the site, made by Michael K.H. Au-Yeung, dose have server version. But this DVD are not available for most people in scene. However, there are several "limited/reduced"CD-/DVD-image files in p2p net... so our friend catched one of them and wanted to know the contents of it....

The folder names on the screenshot dont guarantee they have contents... they could be most empty...

The .iso files on p2p-net are only 700mb - 1.2gb, so it is impossible that they are true "AIO"-DVDs. :P
