XP home - upgrade na PRO

[centaur]

U pitanju je notebook sa instaliranim home XP-om.

Kada sam ranije probao da instaliram pro verziju na formatiranu particiju, nesto bas i nije prepoznao vecinu drajvera (a mrzelo me da tumaram po net-u jer mi je trebalo da odradim nesto hitno), pa sam lepo vratio onaj njegov 'fabricki' home 🙂

E sad' me interesuje posto bih definitivno hteo da instaliram pro verziju doticnog OS-a da li upgrade sa home na pro moze da prodje kako treba (i da li je to uopste i preporucljivo) ili da instaliram pro na formatiranu particiju i da se iscimam sa trazenjem drajvera ?

Huh, al' sam zakomplikovao 0🙂

formatiraj u NTFS (barem C particiju), pa lepo instaliraj... drajvere ces 99% naci na sajtu proizvodjaca notebook-a...

Huh, na oficijelnom sajtu Packard Bell-a bas i nije neki izbor drajvera odnosno podrska. Da li ima neki sajt na kome bih mogao potraziti (kao npr. www.winfiles.com) ?

Mozda ti ovo pomogne... mozda i ne...

German computer magazine C'T claims that by changing only 2 bytes from the file setupreg.hiv in Windows's XP Home kit, users can get access to certain functions only avalaible in Windows XP Professional, such as Remote Desktop, User management and enhanced security features.
C'T writes in its latest print issue (in German only) that you need to copy the root directory and the i386 directory of the WindowsXP CD to your harddisk, extract the Bootsector of your WindowsXP CD and change only 2 bytes in i386Setupreg.hiv by using Regedit. In fact all you have to do is edit the binary key "default" and change "01" to "00" and "02" to "00" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEHomekeyControlSet001Servicessetupdd, C'T claims.
There is one big drawback, though. Users won't be able to install Service Pack 2, unless they integrate SP2 in the installation CD. And that's probably too much trouble for most users, who of course are better off buying a legal version anyway. It is expected that Microsoft will change the setup files soon to prevent this hack.
