How to Stop Installation Wizard from installing Windows Genuine Advantage Notification Startup Nag....page 2...>>> WGA
I had this on a recent XP laptop.
A customer updated Windows and got this bug, but luckily they
didn't install it.

Recently I had a problem with Grub 4 Dos by Shinobar.
I have been using it to boot different USBs with multi Puppies etc.
I am not very knowledgeable with any sort of Grub.
However Shinobars creation is pretty good.
I wish however that I could use different boot options
for Puppy....such as >> puppy pfix=ram etc.
And maybe it's me but I find it picks up better if I name the folders....
in lower case...and use only an 8 letter name.
Anyway I must have been a bit too quick in selecting my USB options,
and my XP hard drive booted with a funny grub message,
but then would boot into Windows after 10 seconds or so.
So I had a look around for a simple MBR fix.
I tried this but it wouldn't work.

Hirens wouldn't work.
Other fixes didn't work.

I saw this.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69013
Command fdisk /mbr
" Fdisk has an undocumented parameter called /mbr that causes it to write
the master boot record to the hard disk without altering the
partition table information. "
And decided to go for it after I saw WhatsHisName response.
I used an old >> Dos 6.22 floppy disk
