I tried on W8-1Ex32, on CPU which supports SSE2 and PAE and doesn't support NX. I patched NTOSKRNL.EXE (for NX/SSE2), hal.dll and halmacpi.dll (for HT) and WINLOAD.exe (for PG)... It works like charm (NX/SSE2 only patch)...
i was needing to patch boot.wim too, now changes are accepted, but i got a "winload.exe" corrupted blablabla, windows recognize files are not original booting from dvd... so the only way is to boot W7 and start W8 installation than patch files after installation?
There is guide in the 1st post, why you don't proceed according it...? just extract whole install.wim to empty drive by imagex and create new BCD there by bcdboot... Russia, the country, where "tomorrow" means "last year"...
So I'm not quite doing what everyone else exactly in using this on 8/8.1. (at least not yet) Instead of I'm trying to boot WinPE included in ADK 8.1 Preview which naturally has the NX and SSE2 checks. So I ran the patch and put the new ntoskrnl and winload into the wim and imported it into WDS. But I am stuck with an error: The operating system couldn't be loaded because the digital signature of a file couldn't be verified. I assumed this was because I hadn't set NoIntegrityChecks Yes but after doing that on RemoteInstall\boot\x86\default.bcd and restarting WDS I am still getting the same error. Edit: if I use the F8 menu and choose Disable Driver Signature Enforcement it will boot in my vm but on the PIII 866 I was trying it on it wasn't quite so successful with BSOD System thread exception not handled
When you run the BCDedit command for integrity check, you need to specify the identifier, if win 8 is the default it is {default}, otherwise it would be a logn hash string, you can enter BCDedit /enum to check the identifier.
sorry...my upload speed very slow The method is simple... 1.boot hiren boot cd win7 portable mode open... 2.win8 iso mount clean install hardisk... (restart 000000*xx error) 3.re open hiren win7 portable jan patch application and disable signature command...cmd.. bcdedit /set {default} NoIntegrityChecks Yes 4.rastart pc continue with the installation...
Yes I think that would be very useful, regarding plently of problems and error messages related on this topic. But we may wait for the windows 8.1 final release to make such an ISO?
Believe it or not, I just used this patch to install 8 onto my old Pentium 3 PC @ 500Mhz, 512mb ram. Its slow, but it runs lol. (I use this machine as a file server normally, Linux based FTP)
To do a clean installation.. hiren boot cd 2012-2013 win7 portable mode open pc...(delete win7 all part. hardisk win8 iso) sorry bad english..
Successfully installed Windows 8.1 RTM Enerprise Edition on an old Intel Pentium 4 CPU@2Ghz and 1GB Ram. Runs very smooth and fast and brought my old MSI MS-6513 Mainboard back to life!
FaiKee Thanks or the quick reply, but I've tried for 2 days now following your post#4 and Ice1374 method but with my ISO (MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.1.RTM.X64.ENGLISH.DVD-WZT) I'm getting nothing but the reboot fo the installation. This patch works for the X64 versions and it's ready for the RTM? My machine specs if it matters ABIT Fatal1ty AN8 SLI Opteron 170 4GB OCZ Nvidia 8600 GT
My CPU supported PAE, NX, SSe2 & CMPXCHG16B but not LAHF-SAHF & PREFETCHW. With this patch, would I be able to install W8.1 x64 ? Thanks...
Hello, I examined the yesterday update tuesday and result is: SAFE TO UPDATE Update Tuesday 10.9.2013 doesn't change any of NTOSKRNL.EXE, WINLOAD.EXE, HAL.DLL, HALMACPI.DLL. Actual versions for x32 are still as follows: Code: HAL-DLL_v6-2-9200-16442 x32 KB2770917 HALMACPI-DLL_v6-2-9200-16442 x32 KB2770917 NTOSKRNL-EXE_v6-2-9200-16659 x32 KB2859537 WINLOAD-EXE_v6-2-9200-16622 x32 KB2855336 Pls, Jan1, do you have more time now for patching WXP multiplayer games to run in W8? (In fact the target DLL is common for all 5 of them, so only one patch is needed.) If so, send me PM, pls. There will be sweet awards...
