Any trial to add support of ReactOS, both vanilla or mixed with Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 (by mixed, I mean replacing any not yet implemented or partiality implemented binaries by the Windows ones) ?
@George King @Alexandros C. Couloumbis This acpi.sys starts boot process with only one core. It is the Magic trick for to give all tables enough time to load. @Move and I notice, that it now boots faster(!) on any compi than before. After first boot part, all cores are enabled. The hanging comes quite sure from USB. On all newer z690, z790 boards is the same. There it is enough, only to disable the LED USB. You can do it in Device Manager and/or in Bios. On Ryzen, the USB ports on the Ryzen processor itself make problems. Sometimes they make boot to hang, and sometimes you can enable them just after boot by hand, when they where disabled before in Device Manager. So, a new USB driver, build from win8.1 will help a lot, but all tries in this direction fell until now Dietmar
@diderius6 You can try to use these Chinese USB3 drivers. They are from unleaked Windows 8.0. I tried to get untouched files, But without success. Code: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/the-windows-vista-update-repository-drivers-software-hotfixes-etc.85899/
Hey, I ran into an issue where my laptop (which is a 13-inch non-Retina 2012 MacBook Pro) wouldn't boot my custom iso of XP x64 due to a boot.ini/NTDETECT.COM error, making the second phase unbootable. The first phase of the setup worked fine as I was able to set up my partition and install the contents of the .esd file successfully alongside copying the driver packs. Initially, I thought the issue had to do with the .iso, but it worked fine under both VMware and VirtualBox. So at this point, I'm unsure as to what I should do in this case, should I: A) Find a preferable acpi.sys file that works well with Ivy Bridge CPUs (dunno which one would work out of the 11 included in XP2ESD) B) Add the USB3.0 drivers in the .iso (although they seem to be built in) C) Something else that I'm not entirely sure about I'm happy to hear your suggestions as I want to try and get XP up and running on this machine.
No idea about the MAC, but IVY bridge should be the last chipset with official support from Intel, also IVY bridge doesn't come with integrated USB3 ports, usually they were added by chips available at the time like the NEC (now Renesas) USB3 chip, which were ubiquitous at the time IVY bridge was current, which again are officially supported in XP. So any troubles you are facing is 100% made in Cupertino.
A) Most recent ACPI is always configured in config.ini by me. If most recent doesn't work, then you can experiment with others B) USB3 and other ported drivers are used automatically when they are needed
mini XP from Hiren's BootCD 15.2 gives an ACPI 0x000000A5 error. I wasn't able to find an iso or a wim file of the mini XP to try to install the latest working acpi.sys
@Alexandros C. Couloumbis Make a try with the latest Patch Integrator 3.4.6 from Ramsey. It has my latest acpi.sys integrated. There you can choose a minimal set of drivers and install the other drivers later by hand. Best would be an install from Sata slot via real burned CD in a CD-Rom drive. Is this is not possible, you have to integrate an USB driver and the Live-USB setting Dietmar
A tough case eh? You can try either to mod the Hiren's boot CD replacing it's own acpi.sys or You can use a more modern bootable ISO like Strelec, moving the fixhdc and related files there, it's possible, I did it in the past, you need to copy txtoem.sif from the hiren's mini xp to the directory of booted windows, the bat/cmd file and the compressed package with the drivers.
Hi, I am trying to install Windows XP x64 on a UEFI-only Surface Pro 1 with FlashBootPro EFI files (see here for more info: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...xp-x64-on-a-surface-pro-1.86514/#post-1776538). I have been able to install Vista and 7 on the machine. I tried using XP2ESD and can't get past the "Starting Windows Vista" screen, it gives me a BSOD (I am unable to see the details as it appears as a red bar on the top of my screen). What should I do in order to get XP working?
I have improved UEFI support in upcoming version. Also newer bootloader exist. And new alternative can be used too. Maharmstone released new Quibble version with NTFS support. I will PM you in few days with “tests” request.
