Oh god. I would a just used an activation hack. I don't think MS cares anymore.

How did you get burned on marketplace?

I'm dumb so no activation hacks for me.

Guy in Florida sent me a dead Dell. Met all specs, would have to provide my own RAM. No problem except the inside was corroded to hell and back. It was a $100 brick (before shipping) and the seller was gone before I could pitch a fit. Next was a guy trying to increase the price when I went to pick it up. I hate Facebook.

Just for the sake of it. I bought a LG GDR-8163B  on the Dutch Marketplace for 10 euro and especially for flashing it computer with a ide sockets on themotherboard for 15 euro's. So a total of 25euro's. I could have bought an xbox for it. But he where is the fun in that? ( actually that is also fun)

But I flashed it  and it worked like a charm first time. What I did is made a freedos bootdrive form an old usb stick. put the jumper in the right place en worked. 

After the (relatively easy) soldering the drive did not work as planned. I had it in Master mode and starnge errors about udma and reflashing were shown. I changed the jum,per to slave and all was well.

nice experience and works like a charm.
