    Does:
    Code:
    powercfg /s 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c >nul
    command work in a virtual machine or only on a real PC because I can't see a difference in VMware?

    Yes it works, But VM is probably already quick. This mostly affect deploying on laptops without connected power source

    I also tested now on a real desktop PC and there is also no difference - I understand that this option only affects the laptop that operates on the battery.
    Excellent - I am also correcting and testing my ISO version at the moment.

    You know how to patch winsetup.dll to prevent create a MSR partition - it is not needed in WinXP. For now, I do it in such a way that I divide the entire disk into partitions in diskpart:
    Code:
    sel disk %disk%
    clean
    convert gpt
    create par efi size=100
    format fs=fat32 label="EFI"
    assign letter u
    create par pri size=%part%
    format fs=ntfs quick label="OS"
    assign letter c
    create par pri
    
    no_MSR.png
    If I don't divide the whole disk, i.e. without the last command: create par pri, the installer creates the MSR 128MB partition.

    I just found how to patch so that installer doesn't create a 100MB partition:

    Will it work also for installing alongside an existing UEFI installation by multibooting different Windows or is it in first time for installing on a fresh disk (virtual / real) ?
    In any case I'm interested too, if it can't multiboot I can test on Virtualbox for fresh UEFI install

    Well, you can multiboot from a VirtualBox XP XP2ESD-based installation too by using my method! :)

    I have a windows multiboot installed system with XP on real hardware, I had installed it manually via sysprep some months ago and it worked fine and don't want to touch it.
    I asked for George's version, I can test it on an other disk with 7 installed on UEFI. If he's version don't work for multiboot I had proposed to test it on a fesh VM.

    What 32-bit or 64-bit WinXP? Extract/copy the appropriate ported drivers Generic_USB3x_6.2.9200.21180 folder from driverpacks\DP_Ported_Drivers_Collection to USB\drivers
