This laptop is a uefi-only with no option for csm, and since above-4g decoding is forced, i must find a way to boot windows xp on uefi without using the classic windows longhorn uefi boot files method, since @Gelip once said that it won’t work if above 4g decoding is enabled, so my only option was to use csmwrap, a tool to bring back csm on uefi only systems like that of mine. The first 4 to 5 releases of csmwrap didn’t just work due to forced above-4g decoding, but they later fixed that, and i was able to boot windows 7 pe using it, though the screen is stuck on the corner and the rest of the screen is just black (common issue on some systems). However, NTLDR did NOT work and just outputted a black screen, (others also faced the same), so my last resort was using winload.exe with csmwrap, which i tried doing by applying the bootfiles and the vbemp drivers on a vmware vm, then transferring the vm contents onto my actual laptop’s disk, but i had trouble installing the vbemp driver onto the vm, and i couldn’t really obtain the correct bootfiles i just got an iso for windows longhorn beta 16497 (dont really remember build number), and extracted the bootfiles (tried booting it in vmware without vbemp driver, it should’ve displayed starting windows vista but it displayed a black screen even though i disabled driver signature enforcement). So I need the bootfiles, and a correct way to deploy a vm with vbemp onto my machine, (or atleast install vbemp, deployment’s on me)
