I have used Windows 2003 for several years and it works well all the time. I don't need to worry about the update. But it frequently popped up bluescreen since last year. And I found it relates to my hard disks. When I take down my two pata hard disks, the system works smoothly. I am too lazy to find out the cause or reinstall the OS. So I have used the only sata hard disk for several months.

    Last week, I wanted to use the important documents in the other two hard disks. So I decide to reinstall the OS, and this time I choose WindowsXP. It is the second time that I install WindowsXP on my own computer. I found WindowsXP's performance is not as good as Windows2003 at the first time, and I uninstalled it finally. But this time I have no choice. I want to use the other two hard disk.

    Installing WindowsXP is easy. But you should do something before and after reinstalling OS. For example, backup the important data on the system driver before reinstalling and do some tuning after reinstalling. You can get some tips from "reinstall_xp_memo ".

    Another problem is windows update. I think most of  individual windows users in China use the piratic Windows os and Microsoft enacted a program called Windows Genuine Advantage to stop this action. I wrote a web log about how to crack the KB892130 before. But after that, Microsoft released several hotfixes. There are two cracks for version 1.7.0018.1 and 1.7.0018.5 . Find out the version of LegitCheckControl.dll and use the corresponding crack. If you wouldn't like to let WgaTray.exe be run automatically, delete the key of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\WgaLogon in registry.

    Installing wmp11 should also pass the WGA program which is different from the one above. You can bypass the WGA program using the method followed.
    1. Download the WMP11 installing file and extract it
    2. Execute the files in sequence: wmfdist11.exe, wmdbexport.exe,  umdf.exe, wmp11.exe

    Everything has been done! Now all my hard disks can work and it has not popped up bluescreen yet.
