Yes, but these drivers are only for XP. To get it working on 2003 you need different ntoskrn8.sys compiled with 2003 compatibility. This is caused by different kernels in 5.1 / 5.2 and it's exported function. P.S. Don't worry about solution for XP2ESD EDIT: If you know how, we can edit INF to copy different files for different OS versions.
Oh, I did use a different ntoskrn8.sys with my previous 2003 ISO, I'll try that one. In which files do I look in to replace the ntoskrn8.sys? Edit: I decided to swap the ntoskrn8.sys in the driver and remake the ISO. I wanted to change a tweak I had made, and this is the perfect opportunity. Will reply when I test it. Edit 2: Still didn't work, now trying the storport.sys I had in the other ISO.
So I had to replace both ntoskrn8.sys and storport.sys to get it to not BSOD, however it doesn't see any hard drives in my VM with a SATA controller. Edit: Or not, I get the DEADBEEF BSOD later in the setup now.
Can anyone explain me how i should use WinXPPAE_v35? I patched all requiered files successfully. Should i copy all patched files in System32? Those links from winraid seem to not work anymore and some people said in previous posts to rename some files? Also some people mentioned that you need to edit boot.ini. What do I need to change there?
I have an AHCI driver that works fine in textmode but gives me a 7B BSOD at the second stage of the setup. How come?
When i was testing nvme drivers, Schrom's NVME 1.5 did not work, but 1.3 did with my system. I would say there is value in including the 1.3 version as well for compatibility.
Swap ntoskrn8.sys / storpor8.sys with attached files. Then you can integrate it into 2003 setup too. Thanks, I forget to modify it when moving to storahci8 filename. I will mod it to storahc8.sys instead to provide it's functionality to TXT setup too (even I'm not fan of this old method nowadays). Thanks for info, I will add it too!
I found different drivers that work in text mode. However I need to find a way to get XP to install unsigned drivers without a prompt so I can get to the second portion of setup.
Huh, that PAE patch seems to work on my Precision M6500 with 32GB RAM. Or at least, I can see I got 32GB RAM in About This Computer and taskman.
can someone check this manual integration to see what I'm doing wrong? It looks like somewhere in TXTSETUP.SIF. The windows installer gets past past "Kernel-Mode Driver Framework 1.11", then as soon as it does "USB 3.0 Controller Extension", it errors out saying "file ucx01000.sys could not be found" this part

@pappyN4 IIRC XP Textmode setup likes 8.3 filenames. so you'll need to rename wpprecorde8.sys to wpprecor.sys and change the import table in ucx1000.sys to reflect this too.
hi daniel_k I have downloaded your tool: WinXPPAE v3.5 and read so many posts with some instructions but no where can I find a definitive easy to follow comprehensive list of instructions for those who find making these alterations not so easy. I have read that you issued instructions in a readme but that I can not find. Can you be so kind as to post exact full instructions to make the command line tool WinXPPAE v3.5 work for me so I can increase my Win XP sp3 ram? thank you in advance
I don't know if this has been reported in this thread or forum before, but I feel like reporting on it regardless. Usually, the combination of Windows Server 2003's disk.sys/partmgr.sys files and Paragon GPT Loader are enough to allow for the use of >2TiB drives on Windows XP with no issues whatsoever. However, this only applies on IDE mode, as when using AHCI mode with the help of MovAX's storahci.sys driver, said driver promptly seizes upon contact with any >2TiB drive and utterly fails to recognize them in any form, with even Disk Management failing to pick up on them; the only place I can see them is in Device Manager, but that's it. Of course, the easy way out is to run all >2TiB drives in IDE mode, but such a thing is impossible on anything modern. It'd be very nice for storahci to not seize up when handling a >2TiB drive, as it sticks out like a sore thumb on an otherwise perfect Windows XP setup.
Copy the NTOSKRNL.EXE and HAL.DLL from your running system to where WinXPPAE resides. You need to rename them according to its internal name (most likely you'd be renaming them to NTKRPAMP.EXE and HALMACPI.DLL) to ensure WinXPPAE applies the correct patches. You can simply run WinXPPAE executable without any arguments to show the explanations. Mostly you need to specify /M:<SIZE> where <SIZE> can be xxxMB, xxxGB or ALL. You can also specify /NB or /NOBACKUP if you don't need it to create backups. You may test the patches without actually modifying the system. Simply put the files to %systemroot%\system32 as some other names (e.g. NTOSKRN2.EXE and HAL2.SYS) and duplicate a new boot option specifying the patched kernel and HAL. In this example, add the following boot parameters in the new boot option: /KERNEL=NTOSKRN2.EXE /HAL=HAL2.SYS (PS: You need to explicitly add /PAE parameter at the end of the boot option, if you have DEP completely disabled, aka /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF, as this implicitly disables PAE on XP preventing this patch from taking effect) If you want to actually replace those system files on your running system you need to use the move trick: Move (rename) the running files to somewhere else then put the files there and reboot. I once posted my experiences with WinXPPAE a few pages back. The patch itself works as intended for up to 64GB of RAM. More than 64GB of RAM may cause the system to reboot with no BSOD or other retrievable information. External factors (namely poorly written drivers) can also prevent the system from working. I had issues with ASUS (C-Media) sound card drivers which outright BSOD with the patch applied (also BSOD on vanilla Win2003). Eventually I settled on using M-Audio Audiophile 2496 (VIA ICE1712) whose drivers work fine with this patch.
