    You have to use AHCI mode in the first place.

    I have done that already, It does't work when using ahci in uefi or legacy. (0x0000017)
    It only works in IDE mode in both uefi or legacy.
    I don't know why!
    Maybe because the ahci drivers for hp z210 not in the iso?

    Yes, it's RAID+AHCI.
    But how can I add the driver to the ISO?
    Can I patch the ISO with nLite to add this driver before i create the iso with your instructions ? (I have done that before to fix blue screens and issues where Windows XP X86 doesn't detect the disks.)

    I think the best moment to add the driver is using sysprep.inf
    I have a one PC with RAID in bios - I would have to test what and how.

    No, this issue occurs regardless of whether I have one drive connected or multiple drives.
    I have already tried that process five times, but I still encounter the same issue.

    In that case, use in Legacy mode. UEFI does not make WinXP work better or faster. The support of booting at UEFI is to run the system on a computer that not has CSM mode in bios.

    I got to this step but I am having trouble:

    • VMware Workstation Pro Version 17 and later no longer have the feature to "Map Virtual Disks"
    • I am using an old version of VMware Workstation Pro 15.5.7 to make sure I still have this feature.
    • I mapped the virtual disk successfully as drive "Z" and I made sure that it is not "read only"
    • I was able to find the file to replace in Z:\WINDOWS\system32\
    I am getting a "Z:\ is unavailable" error when I try to delete the file or write any new files to the directory. See screenshot.

    Any ideas on how to resolve this? (I realize this is more of a VMware problem and not the fault of your tutorial)

    I haven't tested Win11 - I think it should work the same as on Win10
    You can also replace the file and apply the registry settings manually e.g in WinPE

    Thanks Gelip. This was my mistake - just as you guessed. :oops:
    Although I had turned the User Account Control Settings to "Never Notify," I was not using the Administrator account. I thought that I was following the tutorial correctly, because the local account had administrator privileges. I now see that this is not the same thing - and the privileges were not high enough.

    I studied the posts you linked and look through the original screenshots in the tutorial again. I saw that I had to actually enable the Administrator account in Windows 10 (just like your screenshots show in Win 7).

    I logged out of my local user account and logged onto the Administrator account.

    I now made it all the way through the tutorial. I will test on the modern pc and update you with my results. Thank you!
