See the Windows XP serial from the CD during setup

Most of us are familiar with Windows XP setup. But most of us don't know the Universal serial of Windows XP-

RHKG3-8YW4W-4RHJG-83M4Y-7X9GW
                              or
THMPV-77D6F-94376-8HGKG-VRDRQ


But it's not going to work sometimes in modified windows. So, what can we do then? We can avoid that disk of windows & choose another disk that contains different service pack of XP. But if we don't have twice then ? Then we can try a trick. Simple trick

* While installing Windows XP there are 2 modes. DOS mode & GUI mode. When Windows XP finished copying files & take a restart that's the end of DOS mode. GUI mode starts from then. It shows Setup will take approximately 38 minutes. That's the time of our's.

* When it comes to 33 minutes it will be hard to apply the trick. So we have to apply it among 38-34 minutes.

1. Press SHIFT+F10. DOS mode will start with GUI mode.
2. Type J:\i386\unattend.txt & hit ENTER. (J:\ is my CD-ROM device path/location. It will be different at you. If you don't know the exact location try by every possible location such as D:\i386\unattend.txt or E:\i386\unattend.txt  )
3. A text file will appear soon. Scroll down at the bottom & see the product key. Note it down if you are not SHER-E-BANGLA.  
4. Close the all window after obtaining the key.
