nice to know however i seam to be having and issue with my subscription. right now it is showing however it is grayed out. not too sure what is up with that. worked for Vista not sure why XP would be any different.
Very good to know, sadly Microsoft is slacking as on the MVLS (Microsoft Volume Licensing Service) site they still have yet to post the Integrated Images for XP.
Any word on when us eOpen users will get some love?

I will have to find out if my school's MSDNAA website will add it.
It's been available for a while now...

The same iso (exact same SHA1 hash) , has been available as a torrent since last week.
Can anyone download it from MSDN and verify the SHA-1 hash?

SHA1 confirmed. And yes it is the same as the leaked version a week or so ago.

Can this be downloaded from a torrent and installed legally if one (read: me
) has a legit XP key? It should work (right?), but is it legal? Because wouldn't this be like slipstreaming SP3 into my gold XP disc?

Do any of you know what the volume label is for the VLK edition? I slipstreamed SP3 into my own gold SP0 share, and I want to make sure I give it the right volume name...
Thanks in advance!

omg just do it, who really cares, either way you're using a copy if XP, figure it out yourself

Not the same. The ISO mentioned in post #1 is for full retail or VL install of XP Home or Pro with SP3 integrated into it.

If the hashes match (and they do), then it is the same.

The 1st hash you posted is from the standalone Service Pack, the 2nd hash is from the slipstreamed ISO.

It's typically: WXPVOL_EN
But I really don't think volume labels matter in this case.

Yes it will work, and yes it's legal.

First one is the retail one... and second is the vol license. You can hover it w/ the mouse and see the "vl" in the filename of the second one.

Yup, just checked the MD5 and SHA-1 of the leaked ISO I downloaded over a week ago, and it's definitely the same exact file.

Since I am only seeing "Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 (x86) - CD (English)" on MSDN
Can I assume that do to the cd-key changes, this one ISO can be used with OEM, VLK and Retail keys?
Ahh no I see what they did, they have 2 copies on their but neither is labeled Retail or VL.... hmmm.

Download them from MSDN or Technet and you won't need to be concerned about the hash codes (you know what you are getting). But wait! 99% of people downloading from some God only knows P2P site think because the hash code is the same, no viruses have been added. Good luck!

hash codes are reliable... changing a single byte in the file would result in a complete different hash.
AFAIK , no one is able to create an ISO with all hash the same & size the same,
while filling the ISO with junk.

Are you saying that an image with the same SHA1 can be faked?

Don't be so naive. If you download scene releases from a private source, there is no need to worry about viruses.

Well, these 99% know their sh*t.
But I see where the real problem is. You - obviously - don't understand what a "hash" is. It's
not the stuff you smoke!

That guy is right, hash codes are a sham! You wouldn't want to download the wrong horsie porn vid because of a hash collision, would you? CRC? Cyclic my ass! >=\
LoL. Some of the comments here are simply dumb. Once the SHA-1 hash is the same, it is the EXACT SAME FILE. It's that simple. It can't be "faked" (I'm talking about SHA-1 of course. MD5 can be faked, but only without keeping the same iso directory tree and with a LOT of math work). Don't be lame.

Some people just don't get sarcasm. Watch more horsie porn.
Edit: Btw, it is practically impossible to fake a hash code (depends on the hash algorithm, but even so,it's impossible). It would take much less effort and time to just punch everyone on the planet.
