Tools to change my Windows OS key out and slipstream mine in

[HedgeHocker]

Situation:

I own a copy of Windows XP SP1 but I want to download and use a customized and slimmed down version. 99% of those you can download will not validate with Windows Genuine Advantage checking so I would like to change the key on one downloaded and use my own legit key. No I don't want to spend the hours to create my own. I can have a real XP copy thats been slimmed for performance by someone who's sharing it with me - I wont get into how or where for reasons I'm sure are obvious.

I have that key and an OEM WinXP Home version but that has no key I dont think and I'd have to extract it and work on it - not ready for all that fuss.

Guess the question is: Anyone know where I can get the tools to change my Windows OS key out and slipstream mine in? Would Nlite do all of this?

I'll keep searching and thank you for any replies.

How did you do it? I'd like to do the same myself.

I'm trying to do that myself could you PM the method you used?

I also would like to know how to do this with my key so I can get rid of the annoying validation notice. I have the key, just don't know how to change it.
