Hi buddies, I have some old PCs : Pentium 4, 512MB DDR1 RAM They are not able to handle Windows 7(tried ultimate, starter, home B) nor Linux(mint, Lite, elem OS) So I'm just gonna get xp on them :| So will you please suggest the right english xp iso ? I'm thinking a 32bit will be okay, but then there are types like pro, hb, and all !! thats why : XP experts, please recommend the best iso, purpose is : internet usage, ms office, lite gaming, (nothing fancy, just normal every day use) it would be good to get the official/MSDN stuff but if you want to suggest some other modified xp iso, then please do so if they are good enough TYSM in Advance
You might also have a look at Win7 Embedded / ThinPC which are more optimized for small/old/slow machines than even "Starter" edition of retail Windows 7. Based on the specs you posted though, I doubt you'll get any satisfaction. Even XP Embedded / POSReady2009 / WEPOS is going to struggle with that.
either of these two Code: 66ac289ae27724c5ae17139227cbe78c01eefe40 *EN_WINDOWS_XP_PROFESSIONAL_WITH_SERVICE_PACK_3_X86_CD_VL_X14-73974.ISO 1c735b38931bf57fb14ebd9a9ba253ceb443d459 *EN_WINDOWS_XP_PROFESSIONAL_WITH_SERVICE_PACK_3_X86_CD_X14-80428.ISO
I have been a fan of Slackware for 20 years, mostly as a router and an Apache web server. This development got ever smaller like our own kms mini micro pico nano until it became the Linux router project, which put the whole thing on one floppy Recently I found a version called Slax (google it) which you can put on a cd or on a flash drive. just boot it and it will give you a nice gui and lots of functionality. it supports hard wired networking you can add a module ( which I did) to support wireless. It might give you a simple Linux alternative T
you may try to build your own xp embedded, currently i use a build which have ~150mb (only os) and is fast. also, you may try wepos(based on sp2 binaries) or posready 2009(based on sp3 binaries) or winflp(based on sp2 binaries). for office tools i use softmaker free suite, mpc-h(and lav filters) for multimedia and firefox for internet on hp t5740 which is a green and silent pc .
How large is the hard disk? I tried installing XP on a 6GB drive on an old PC, ran out of space very quickly.
jime1 You sent me a PM but I cannot answer it as your PM box is full. You need to empty some if you want me to answer you.
I tried to make a multboot usb drive with YUMI with the xp iso but it shows blue screen So I tried to make single boot with rufus, and it worked But why cant it work with multi boot ? Sirji
