Note down the product key, and install a "borrowed" similar version of XP. Then change it with a MickeySofts keychanger once logged in, and sorted |
why would he need to change the key as when he installs he will use the key off his machine anyway.Your just name dropping a key changer aint ya go on fess up lol lol

3. Return to Windows & copy the contents of the C:\Update CD\ folder to CD (N.B. Do not copy the ‘Update CD’ folder itself). Label this ‘UPDATE CD’.
Then boot from the recovery CD, at the Press R menu press Ctrl+Backspace, then choose options 4, 5 and 7. Then recover, it will ask for an update CD, supply the update CD you created, and it should recover ok.

How big is the smart image? Is it the right size to fit on a 650 - 700MB disc? and how would i use Nero to do it? The 3309 uses Nero 5.5
When i recover the PC will the recovery image "Hide" itself or will i have to do it?

The SI should fit onto a CD, when you unhide it with copysi then you can use Explorer to view its size.
Re: Nero -  or freestyle it.
Re: the recovery - if you want to completely clear the HD then doing a 4.5.7 is the same as Fdisking out all partitions and creating a new one. It will need the update CD so when that is supplied, you can recreate the smart image.
You don't ever unhide it, it's just copied to a folder on the user partition.
