Vista upgrade disc workaround trick

[Raffaz]

Just thought id share this with you all. Not sure if you all know, but if you have an upgrade vista disc, then its not possible to do a clean install as MS have removed the disc checking. Heres a way around it, its a bit tedious, but might help a few of you.

When this occurs, the Windows XP license is forfeited

So you forfeit your xp license if you install vista? what a rip off.

What a huge loophole though about installing from within vista, how did MS not see that?

Good luck finding serial keys that pass activation and WGA. Microsoft is VERY efficient at blacklisting pirated keys.

They already have it cracked so it doesn't check for activation and such. I've had the RTM version running great for the past few weeks.
