so the question is - has anyone successfully managed to install xp on vmware with the xp laptop recovery cd's???
In a word, NO.
Those things are useless. The only thing you have going for you is the certificate of authenticity on the bottom of the machine. With that you can borrow a friends CD and burn a copy.
These recovery CD's have the full install directory. And there was a german article how to unlock it. If I remember correctly you should look for the i386 dir on the CD. This should contain the full install directory of WinXP. Hope this helps, Stefan.
