How do I activate Windows XP by using an Unattend.txt file?
To activate Windows XP using an unattended installation procedure, add the following information to the Unattend.txt file or the Winnt.sif answer file:
In the Unattended section, type
AutoActivate = Yes
Under the UserData section, type
ProductID = "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"
(Where XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX is your product key)
