(RD1000)This torrent contains an ISO IMAGE. This means that in order to take full benefitfrom 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, whichprovides a free, quality, tool:http://www.imgburn.comOr 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 aDVD and all of its features should work.If by any chance you cannot complete this step, I strongly advise you give up onanything related to P2P... You don't belong in the P2P community, and arguably, inthe 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 whichfunction once the image has been correctly burned, all of which may be used indifferent circumstances.1. SYMANTEC RECOVERY DISK (RD2100)The disk will be boot to a Symantec Recovery Disk, which has the necessary toolsto use the backup contained in the same disk.Once you boot into the recovery disk:YOU SHOULD USE THIS IN A CLEAN C: PARTITION1 - Go to Recovery2 - Go to Recover My Files (Do not go to recover computer, as it will look for thebackup somewhere it is not)3 - When it asks for the recovery point, it is in the NORTON BACKUPS folder in theroot of the disk4 - Tell it to recover everything2. NORTON GHOST (RD2200)YOU SHOULD ONLY NEED TO USE THIS IF YOU CANNOT BOOT INTO THE RECOVERY DISK BECAUSEIT DOESN'T HAVE THE REQUIRED DRIVERS FOR YOUR HARD DRIVE. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN DOTHE FOLLOWING:1 - Download the Drivers for the Hard Drive in question2 - 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 options7 - 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 tobe burned later. Just remember you will need a new disk should the one providednot 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 theroot of the diskWhy 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 XPIt has IE6 instead, just so you can use windows update. The reason why I have notupdated Internet Explorer is that, put simply, you should NEVER use internetExplorer, it sucks and is full of security flaws. You should use another browserinstead, such as Firefox, which is included in this backup. Updating InternetExplorer will install many useless things that run in the background and make yourcomputer slower, so that if you only use it for windows updates, there's not pointin updating it.- Windows Genuine Advantage NotificationThis backup will pass WGA checks, so having this updating is only going to add anunecessary process running in the background and making your computer slower.- Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XPThis sucks, and uses a lot of resources... if you want to install it go ahead...idiot...- Windows Live EssentialsThis 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. Ihave also disabled many generally useless Windows Services. The OS should run ataround 125 MB commit charge once you uninstall Norton Ghost (it will be installedbecause there's no way to create the backup without it... you should uninstall itbecause well, you already have a perfect backup and it will use a good deal ofbackground 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 0NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate set to 1 from 0NtfsMftZoneReservation set to 2- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Session Manager/Memory ManagementDisablePagingExecutive set to 1 from 0- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/ExplorerAlwaysUnloadDLL set to 1 from 0Other Performance hacks I've used (RD2342)- Set Maximum Half-Open Connections to 200- Disabled all Performance Counters using Microsoft's Extensible PerformanceCounter List Utility which can be found at:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...yid=7FF99683-B7EC-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, youmight 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 LOTOF RAM.

To maintain thisorganization as you install more software, just go to your desktop folder, whichyou can find in C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop and organize thefolders and files there as you see fit- Disabled some entries in the Start Menu, you can re-enable them by rightclicking 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 seehow things are setup and change it to your liking.

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 peopleneed 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 runningWindows XP PRO- PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHzminimum 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; maylimit 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 theapplications and features you choose to install. Additional available hard diskspace 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 5.38GB to be installed*** However, because of all the tweaks I made, you can probably run this thisbuild 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 alinux 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 whereyou applyed the backup onto, right click on it, select manage flags- Mark the "boot" flag- Apply the settings- Reboot the computerThe 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/disableperformance counters. Leaving them disabled gives you a little performance boostsince they would run in the background. Most people don't even know what thesecounters 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. Ofcourse, you can always make changes to my backup and create a backup for yourselfusing Norton Ghost. The point is just that having it running in the backgroundconstantly is a waste of resources. Install it when you need it, then uninstall itwhen 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 image4. 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 there5. How do I disable the administrator auto-logon? (RD5700)Go to START RUN > CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 and check Users must enter a user nameand password to use this computer6. Where's the explorer menu bar? (RD5800)Click on the arrow in the system tray to show hidden icons. Open Styler by doubleclicking on the Icon that looks like an "S". Go to the Toolbar tab and unselectHide MenuBar(explorer). However you can still access the menubar when it's hiddenby pressing ALT and then pressing the arrows in the keyboard.-----------------------------------------------------------6.
