-----------------------------------------------------------
#1 WHAT IS IN THIS TORRENT? (RD1000)
This torrent contains an ISO IMAGE. This means that in order to take full benefit
from its contents you will need to use a DVD burning tool.

If you don't have a DVD burning tool please visit the following website, which
provides a free, quality, tool:
http://www.imgburn.com
Or you might try using the following download link:
http://download.imgburn.com/SetupImgBurn_2.4.4.0.exe
(This link might stop working once they realease a new version)

Once you have a DVD burning tool, simply burn the contents of the ISO IMAGE to a
DVD and all of its features should work.

If by any chance you cannot complete this step, I strongly advise you give up on
anything related to P2P... You don't belong in the P2P community, and arguably, in
the realm of the living...
-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
#2 WHAT IS IN THE ISO IMAGE? (RD2000)
This ISO IMAGE image is made up of three different components, all of which
function once the image has been correctly burned, all of which may be used in
different circumstances.

1. SYMANTEC RECOVERY DISK (RD2100)
The disk will be boot to a Symantec Recovery Disk, which has the necessary tools
to use the backup contained in the same disk.

Once you boot into the recovery disk:
YOU SHOULD USE THIS IN A CLEAN C: PARTITION
1 - Go to Recovery
2 - Go to Recover My Files (Do not go to recover computer, as it will look for the
backup somewhere it is not)
3 - When it asks for the recovery point, it is in the NORTON BACKUPS folder in the
root of the disk
4 - Tell it to recover everything

2. NORTON GHOST (RD2200)
YOU SHOULD ONLY NEED TO USE THIS IF YOU CANNOT BOOT INTO THE RECOVERY DISK BECAUSE
IT DOESN'T HAVE THE REQUIRED DRIVERS FOR YOUR HARD DRIVE. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN DO
THE FOLLOWING:

1 - Download the Drivers for the Hard Drive in question
2 - Install Norton Ghost (The keygen is in the EDGE folder on the root of the disk)
3 - Run Norton Ghost (Make sure you let it update with Live Update)
4 - Click on TASKS (On the top Menu, not in the left Sidebar)
5 - Click on CREATE RECOVERY DISK...
6 - Follow the wizard, when given the option to go CUSTOM, choose this options
7 - You will be given the opportunity to add the Hard Drive Drivers at one point,
do so.
8 - Either directly burn a new disk at the end of the wizard, or save an image to
be burned later. Just remember you will need a new disk should the one provided
not work, so you might as well burn the new disk now...

3. MY KICK-ASS WINDOWS XP PRO SP3 x86(32-BIT) BACKUP (RD2300)
The backup itself, is, as mentioned before, in the NORTON BACKUPS folder in the
root of the disk

Why is this backup kick-ass?

1 - It runs at 165 MB commit charge on boot after you uninstall Norton Ghost
(RD2310)

2 - IT WILL PASS ALL WGA CHECKS THAT EXIST SO FAR (RD2320)
No need to explain...

3 - IT WAS CREATED ON MAY 07,2009 AND HAS ALL WINDOWS S UP TO THIS DATE
(RD2330)
EXCEPT:
- Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP
It has IE6 instead, just so you can use windows update. The reason why I have not
updated Internet Explorer is that, put simply, you should NEVER use internet
Explorer, it sucks and is full of security flaws. You should use another browser
instead, such as Firefox, which is included in this backup. Updating Internet
Explorer will install many useless things that run in the background and make your
computer slower, so that if you only use it for windows updates, there's not point
in updating it.
- Windows Genuine Advantage Notification
This backup will pass WGA checks, so having this updating is only going to add an
unecessary process running in the background and making your computer slower.
- Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP
This sucks, and uses a lot of resources... if you want to install it go ahead...
idiot...
- Windows Live Essentials
This would install a bunch of Microsoft Software such as Windows Live Messenger,
Mail, Writer, etc... Personally, I find that other software can do the job better,
so if you would like this, install it yourself...

4 - IT WAS TWEAKED FOR BOTH PERFORMANCE AND GOOD LOOKS (RD2340)
I have used many registry hacks to increase the operating system's performance. I
have also disabled many generally useless Windows Services. The OS should run at
around 125 MB commit charge once you uninstall Norton Ghost (it will be installed
because there's no way to create the backup without it... you should uninstall it
because well, you already have a perfect backup and it will use a good deal of
background resources if you let it keep running.)

Some of the registry hacks I've used: (RD2341)
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/FileSystem:
NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation set to 1 from 0
NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate set to 1 from 0
NtfsMftZoneReservation set to 2
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Session Manager/Memory Management
DisablePagingExecutive set to 1 from 0
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer
AlwaysUnloadDLL set to 1 from 0

Other Performance hacks I've used (RD2342)
- Set Maximum Half-Open Connections to 200
- Disabled all Performance Counters using Microsoft's Extensible Performance
Counter List Utility which can be found at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=7FF99683-B7
EC-4DA6-92AB-793193604BA4
- Used TCP Optimizer to optmize network settings to 10Mbit cable connection
- I changed many settings in Windows using the default available options, you
might want to check under CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > ADVANCED > PERFORMANCE
(I HAVE DISABLED THE PAGE FILE, WHICH YOU SHOULD RE-ENABLE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT
OF RAM. TO DO THIS GO TO CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > ADVANCED > PERFORMANCE >
ADVANCED > CHANGE AND SET IT TO SYSTEM MANAGED SIZE OR 1.5*YOUR RAM)
- Disabled Screensaver
- Disabled Hibernation
- Disabled Alternate User Input Services by using the following commands in the
command prompt (To re-enable it go to START > RUN enter CMD, type "regsvr32
msimtf.dll" and "regsvr32 msctf.dll"

Disabled Services: (RD2343)
They can be re-enabled by going to START > RUN > SERVICES.MSC or right clicking on
MY COMPUTER > SERVICES
- Alerter
- Application Layer Gateway Service
- Automatic Updates (Needs to be set to Automatic in order to use Windows Update)
- Clipbook
- Error Reporting Service
- Fast User Switching Compatibility
- Help and Support
- Indexing Service
- Messenger
- Print Spooler (TURN THIS ON IF YOU HAVE A PRINTER)
- Protected Storage
- Remote Registry
- Routing and Remote Access
- Secondary Logon
- Security Accounts Manager
- Security Center
- Telephony
- Telnet
- Terminal Services
- Volume Shadow Copy
- Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing
- Wireless Zero Configuration (Turn this on if you have a wireless connection and
want Windows to manage it)

Uninstalled Windows Components (RD2344)
- Windows Messenger

Other tweaks I've used to make things more convinient: (RD2345)
- Windows Update and Microsoft Update can now be accessed from within firefox
(Either by going to the corresponding website or using the shortcuts under START >
ALL PROGRAMS > SHORTCUTS)
- The OS will auto-login to administrator account (to change this go to START RUN
> CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 and check Users must enter a user name and password to
use this computer)
- Added useful shortcuts to My Computer right-click context menu
- Device Manager
- Disk Cleanup
- Computer Management
- Control Panel
- Event Viewer
- Registry Editor
- Services
- Disabled Open File - Security Warning for .exe files (to re-enable it go to
START > RUN > GPEDIT.MSC > USER CONFIGURATION > ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES > WINDOWS
COMPONENTS > ATTACHMENT MANAGER > INCLUSION LIST FOR LOW FILE TYPES > remove .exe
from where it is)
- Disabled showing Desktop Icons, added Desktop Toolbar to taskbar
- Disabled Recycle Bin (files will be permanently deleted) To re-enable, click on
desktop toolbar in taskbar, right click the recycle bin, and change the settings
to your liking
- If you click on the Desktop Toolbar in the taskbar you will see that I have
organized almost all currently installed software into groups. To maintain this
organization as you install more software, just go to your desktop folder, which
you can find in C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop and organize the
folders and files there as you see fit
- Disabled some entries in the Start Menu, you can re-enable them by right
clicking on START BUTTON > PROPERTIES > START MENU > CUSTOMIZE
- Enabled Quicklaunch toolbar in the taskbar and added some useful entries.
- Used some tweaks from TuneUP Utilities 2009 (Go ahead and open the app to see
how things are setup and change it to your liking. The main tweaks can be found
under the Customize Windows Tab)
- Used some tweaks from TweakUI (Go ahead and open the app and see how things are
setup and change it to your liking. The app can be found in START > ALL PROGRAMS >
POWERTOYS FOR WINDOWS XP)

Hacks I've used to make things look good (RD2346)
- Hacked uxtheme.dll
- Icon Tweaker for Icons (Can be found under START > ALL PROGRAMS)
- Styler Toolbar for explorer toolbar (Can be found in the sytem tray or START >
ALL PROGRAMS > Styler)
- FindeXer for explorer sidebar (Can be found in C:/Program Files/FindeXer)
- Some custom msstyles from deviantArt (can be found in C:/windows/Resources/Themes)

5 - IT CONTAINS MANY USEFUL SOFTWARE THAT DOESN'T COME WITH WINDOWS BY DEFAULT:
(RD2350)
You might want to check the settings for some of these apps because they might
point to locations that might not exist in your computer because I have a second
partition E: (RD2351)

-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
#3 IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE OPERATING SYSTEM (RD3000)

1. Account Passwords (RD3100)
- Administrator Account password is qsxosd34
- SharedFolders Account password is qwe890 (created this account in case people
need to log onto the computer from another computer to access shared folders)
2. System Requirements (RD3200)
According to Microsoft, the following are the minimum requirements for running
Windows XP PRO
- PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz
minimum required (single or dual processor system);* Intel Pentium/Celeron family,
or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended
- 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may
limit performance and some features)
- 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space*
- Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor
- CD-ROM or DVD drive
- Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
* Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration and the
applications and features you choose to install. Additional available hard disk
space may be required if you are installing over a network.
** These specs do not consider the space required for the service packs.
Moreover, due to the extra software that has been installed, the backup takes 5.38
GB to be installed
*** However, because of all the tweaks I made, you can probably run this this
build with lower specs.
-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
#4 TROUBLESHOOTING (RD4000)

1. The system won't boot after applying the backup: (RD4100)
It appears that sometimes after applying the backup, the computer will "forget"
which partition to boot from. Do not worry, this can be solved rather easily.
Within the GPARTED folder in the image there is a GPARTED image; (GPARTED is a
linux based liveCD with partitioning tools)

- burn this image to a CD and boot from it
- Once it boots, the partition manager will start by itself
- There you will see the partitions in your computer, Select the partition where
you applyed the backup onto, right click on it, select manage flags
- Mark the "boot" flag
- Apply the settings
- Reboot the computer

The Problem should be solved
-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
#5 F.A.Q. (RD5000)

1. I see a Microsoft Tool Web Package: EXCTRLST.EXE, What is this? (RD5300)
It can be found under C:/Program Files/Resource Kit, and is used to enable/disable
performance counters. Leaving them disabled gives you a little performance boost
since they would run in the background. Most people don't even know what these
counters are, so you might as well leave them disabled.

2. Can I uninstall Norton Ghost? (RD5400)
Yes, and you should... After all you have a pretty perfect backup already. Of
course, you can always make changes to my backup and create a backup for yourself
using Norton Ghost. The point is just that having it running in the background
constantly is a waste of resources. Install it when you need it, then uninstall it
when you don't need it.

3. How do I change to whom Windows is registered to? (RD5500)
Use XP_ChangeOwnerOrg.exe found in the EXTRA APPS/WPATCHER folder in the image

4. How do I change the name of the computer administrator? (RD5600)
Right click on my computer, go to manage. Then select LOCAL USERS AND GROUPS >
USERS, right click on Administrator and change the name there

5. How do I disable the administrator auto-logon? (RD5700)
Go to START RUN > CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 and check Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer

6. Where's the explorer menu bar? (RD5800)
Click on the arrow in the system tray to show hidden icons. Open Styler by double
clicking on the Icon that looks like an "S". Go to the Toolbar tab and unselect
Hide MenuBar(explorer). However you can still access the menubar when it's hidden
by pressing ALT and then pressing the arrows in the keyboard.
-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
#6 CONTACT INFORMATION (RD6000)

Everything you need to know to make this work is written in this Readme. If you
need to contact me, that is a sign that either you don't have the necessary
computer skills to make this work or you either haven't read the readme or haven't
paid good attention to what you read. Either way, you don't need my help because
I'm not going to teach computer skills to every person who might download this.
Try using google to find whatever you might need to learn, the info is there if
you know how to use google...
