Hi Gelip, I've been trying to boot this on a Surface Pro 4 and\or a Surface Pro 7 and I am getting an ACPI BSOD (BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. (0x000000A5)) booting the setup, do you have any workarounds or ideas to get the setup to boot? Thank you.
@Gelip So I think my original issue stemmed from the fact that surface pros didn't support windows 7. I had changes made to your files and make so it would work with the win10pe and it now boots and does the initial install. But..... now i get to the aurora screen and it just restarts. It does this with both normal and debug boot options. If I select safe mode I can see it loading drivers but then it restarts. Also I DM you the files 7z I got altered for completions sake
Enter the exact BSOD message - @diderius6 can help. Another similar problem with BSOD ACPI A5 solved: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...oot-wim-install-wim.88435/page-5#post-1860267

@George King @Gelip We successfully migrated the drivers for Windows 10 KMDF1.15~KMDF1.31 and USB3/4 driver to the Windows 7 system. Maybe can try to make it work on xp.
Nice work. For me its restarting after the installation from WinPE, The Aurora screen appears for a moment, then restarts. In safe mode, it says "Loading files" and all the files are loading, then restarts the same way. My PC have Ryzen 5 5625U, Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 and I have installed next to Windows 11. When I disable auto-reboot on BSoDs with regedit in Win11 loading the system registry of WinXP, WinXP stays stuck on the aurora screen
@moha01 There will always be problems on laptops because they have unusual ACPI and you have to patch acpi.sys for WinPE 7 and WinXP. My installer should work well on desktop computers with Intel processor - tested max Intel Gen 12 Alder Lake I don't remember if someone managed to run it on the AMD processor. I'm sorry but I won't help. If you want use WinXP 64-bit, try a older Intel CPU desktop computer with an older PCIe graphics card to which there are drivers for WinXP 64-bit P.S. On laptops - even if you manage to install, it doesn't make sense to use such a system because there is no graphics card driver and no 3D acceleration.
Well, thanks anyway. It works fine on a Thinkpad T470 with an Intel Core i5-7300u. I'll see what I can do with ACPI, since it uses 2.0 RSDT according to RWeverything. In Win7 VHD, it worked fine without modified ACPI drivers, using the original Win7 drivers, although I'm having trouble installing the AMD Radeon driver. The only thing I had to add were the USB xHCI and NVMe drivers, and then the I2C drivers within the Win7 installation. By the way, WinPE 7 worked fine on my laptop. The problem was later in WinXP on the Aurora screen. And one question, is there a way to see the BSoD that it generates since it is hidden on the Aurora screen, I think
When running make.cmd, it came with 2 issues. 1. DISM was saying that it can't service a Windows Vista RTM or prior OS 2. Despite me mounting the VMDK, CMD couldn't access Z:\, I could only view it in file explorer. The same thing happened when doing go.cmd - I had to do that from a WinPE. How to fix these? Thanks
WinDbg - but you need serial port or maybe USB or Firewire @TechActivate 781 DISM from WAIK Win7 works easily even on Windows XP - I create ISO myself on the WinXP 64-bit host. Did you install WAIK according to the video instructions? Do you use an Administrator account?
