This is 36 disks in 1. It will fit on a single DVD due to packing with a special app. Duplicate files are written only once so it will all fit easily. If you need a genuine key, you will need to buy it from Micro$oft.
This is the work of many dedicated souls. The one who put their work all together in this form is called SATHANAS. He was once a member here, but was banned for some reason or other and refuses to return. I agreed to post this for him because I used it and it is totally awesome. If you are a PC tech, you want this. Sathanas asked me to add here that if you have something negative to say about this, other than a bug you found or some legitimate issue, go find something else to do with your time. Nobody cares if you think XP sucks or is worthless. If you don't want this, fine. Don't download it. Move along now.
Work has been started on an official SATHANAS Windows 7 build, soon to be released.
Also in the works is a version of this disk with the ability to pack files to bootable usb drive. Many thanks to SPINNING CARROTS for his work on this project!

If you are installing Media Center or Tablet editions and plan to enter a key and activate later, you must enter a key for that version to get it to install at all. If not, you'll end up installing XP Pro. So these keys will work for you to get MCE and Tablet to install, but will not activate:
OEM MCE) DTQ4X-9BFVC-G3T32-TQFR3-MF6DB
OEM TAB) XT67V-GY7FW-GR6FR-WDK2C-8T97J
Volume keys will activate corporate edition builds, but leaked keys such as this are likely to be blacklisted:
VLK MCE) D36RK-QDFFD-BTWWY-BT7KK-43MGM
VLK TAB) ?????-?????-?????-?????-?????
If you try using the above keys for Pro or Home and then comment here about how they don't work like some of the other downloaders have already, I promise to ridicule you for being an idiot.
IF ANY BUILD SEEMS TO FREEZE AT 23 MINUTES OR AT FIRST LOGON, PLEASE BE PATIENT AS THAT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL. AT 23 MINUTES, THE MS UPDATES ARE BEING INSTALLED. AT FIRST LOGON THE DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED.
Okay, here is the answer to the inevitable question, "What is the difference between these?"
First of all, only use Home with the intent of remaining legally licensed in the event you have a Home COA. If you have no license or just don't care, Pro is always better.
Use MCE if you have a PC with a TV tuner card and you want to record live TV, etc. Or again, if you have an MCE license.
You must use the right channel build to ensure it will accept your license key. The 3 channel builds are OEM, retail and corporate.
OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer. If your PC is Dell, HP, IBM, Sony, eg. any brand name system, the license will be OEM. OEM licenses are often purchased by system builders for custom built systems also. If your license is OEM, it should say so on the certificate of authenticity sticker on your PC case. Any OEM key found on a COA sticker can be used to activate an OEM channel build unless that key has been used to activate Windows a maximum number of times. If an OEM key is active on multiple systems, Microsoft can see that and may blacklist the key causing WGA to go off and Windows Updates to be blocked.
Retail is the channel build sold in retail stores. Only retail keys will activate retail builds.
Corporate is a channel build that uses a volume license intended for use in large corporations that require hundreds of PCs to be licensed. They use a single key to activate them all, but the volume license has a maximum number of PCs it can be used on. Corporate channel builds are often used with leaked volume license keys (like the ones included for MCE and TAB VLK listed above) found online to pirate Windows. Such keys are inevitably blacklisted, causing WGA to go off and Windows Updates to be blocked.
Every single one of the 36 separate builds included on this disk contain Microsoft updates through August of 2011.
OEM system locked preinstall activation is used on all the OEM Advanced builds here. The keys used for activation are SLP royalty keys. They will only work for the OEM brand they were intended for, and they will not ever work to activate any version of Windows after it is installed.
A detailed list of supported OEM brands is listed at the bottom of this description.
The Attended with updates builds are untouched with the exception of MS updates. They should be used for doing repair installs or accessing recovery console. They contain no driver packs, text mode driver support,OEM preactivation, added programs or tweaks of any kind. They are as pure as the driven snow.
All Advanced builds contain the following automatically installed driver packs :
All Advanced Standard and Ultra builds contain the following 3rd party applications preinstalled :
The following modifications are only found on Ultra builds :
Removed Components :
Unattended Settings :
