Did you ever had to reinstall Windows 2k or XP? If so, you know how borring it is to write this long cd key each time... I hate it; and I guess, you too. Anyway, let me show you how I get through this problem each time I reinstall my Windows.
All you need is Windows installation files and some non-write-protected media (such as hard-drive).
Go to the root directory of Windows installation, then find and open "i386" directory, so you have all files uncovered. Open file "setupp.ini" in any text editor and you'll see something like this:
Windows 2k:
[Pid]
ExtraData=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
Pid=xxxxxXXX
Windows XP:
ExtraData=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pid=xxxxxXXX
So, if you want to remove cd key field, change data to:
Windows 2k:
[Pid]
ExtraData=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
Pid=xxxxx270
Windows XP Retail:
ExtraData=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pid=xxxxx335
Windows XP OEM:
ExtraData=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pid=xxxxxOEM
Windows XP Volume License:
ExtraData=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pid=xxxxx270
