Just a quick word of mention so you can search the site if you ever get stuck:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 Genuine Advantage Workaround
From The Inquirer:
“This week, Microsoft started requiring users to verifiy their serial number before using Windows Update. This effort to force users to either buy XP or tell them where you got the illegal copy is called ‘Genuine Advantage.’ It was cracked within 24 hours.”
Little tips and tricks like this come in handy when you fix computers for your friends.

The inquirer? I can understand why MS wants to stop those illegal copies of XP, however, their software is very over priced, so I don’t really blame people for pirating it.
