WinXP 64-bit on a modern PC (ISO boot.wim + install.wim)

@un user
USB3 drivers require patched acpi.sys because without it is a yellow exclamation mark with an error Code10
USB 3 ported driver fo WinXP 64-bit

Code 10 > missing patched acpi.sys
Code 24 > wrong LoadOrderGroup
Code 39 > missing usbd.sys file

 

@un user
I don't know what system you use, how is it configured, on what hardware, what USB drivers?
Build ISO according to my guide and install the system using this ISO - then I can help.

 

sysprep.7z updated

I removed pciide.sys from archive and from the go.cmd script the IDE drivers add code:

Spoiler

Code:

echo:
echo Enabling Intel IDE driver for QEMU virt-manager and PCI IDE for others
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase\pci#ven_8086&dev_7010" >nul
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase\pci#ven_8086&dev_7010" /v "Service" /t REG_SZ /d "intelide" /f >nul

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase\pci#cc_0101" >nul
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase\pci#cc_0101" /v "Service" /t REG_SZ /d "pciide" /f >nul

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PCIIde" /v "ImagePath" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "system32\DRIVERS\pciide.sys" /f >nul

Now it does it sysprep.exe with the help of sysprep.inf where I added at the end two lines:

Code:

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7010=%SYSTEMROOT%\inf\mshdc.inf
    PCI\CC_0101=%SYSTEMROOT%\inf\mshdc.inf

The Map Virtual Disks... was removed in VMware Workstation 17
I tested capture from .vmdk to install.wim using wimlib-imagex with vboot on Win10 and works:
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/update-vmware-products.36557/page-23#post-1867919
So, if someone has to use VMware Workstation 17, they can use vboot in the guide.

Note! vboot works only in read-only mode on Windows 7, 8, 10, 11 - therefore, it is not suitable for use in this tutorial !!!

VMware-vix-disklib-1.1.1-207031.i386.exe tools can be used for mounting VMDK files:

files.7z & sysprep.7z updated:

• added i_view64.ini to WinPE
  
• deleted iv.exe from WinXP

 

I recently described the problem with disconnecting USB 3.0 pendrive connected to the USB 2.0 port in Win7 when trying copy file to pendrive:

Today I noticed the same problem in my WinPE 3.1 where I use the same USB3 driver:

By accident, it turned out that the problem also exists in WinXP where I use a Generic_USB3x_6.2.9200.24610 ported driver from @George King :


I replaced USB3 drivers:

• in WinPE - USB 3/XHCI driver stack for Windows 7
• in WinXP - Generic_USB3x_6.2.9200.24610

to my fixed daniel's USB3 AMD driver (same driver works on WinXP and on Win7) and the problem has disappeared

I had to replace the driver files in files.7z (for WinPE) and in sysprep.7z (for WinXP)
I also had to make appropriate changes in the sysprep.inf file:

now:

Code:

    PCI\CC_0C0330=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Drivers\3_USB3x\amdxhc.inf
    AMDUSB30\ROOT_HUB30=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Drivers\3_USB3x\amdhub30.inf

before:

Code:

    PCI\CC_0C0330=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Drivers\3_USB3x\usbxhci.inf
    USB\ROOT_HUB30=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Drivers\3_USB3x\usbhub3.inf

files.7z & sysprep.7z updated

I started testing my WinXP 64-bit on same NVMe PCIe Gen 3 disk in PCIe Gen 3 x4 controller on three desktop PC in PCIe Gen 3 slots x4 or x16:
PC1 - CPU Intel Gen 2, PC2 - CPU Intel Gen 4, PC3 - CPU Intel Gen 8
I was surprised why WinXP boots for a long time on PC3.
It turned out that there are two problems:

1. Ethernet I211 network card driver (booting in Legacy MBR) - I noticed that until the driver is not installed, the system boots in 18 seconds. After installing the driver, the time increases by 10 seconds, i.e. it lasts 28 seconds. I tried to change different options in the driver properties but nothing helps. Bypassing the problem is to use another Ethernet card - in my case, PCI Syskonnect SK-9521. With this card with or without drivers installed, the system boots in 18 seconds
   
2. bootdebug option in BCC (booting in pure UEFI) - this option is required to start the system in the pure UEFI on my Intel Gen 8 (I need TODO to resolve this). It turned out that it extends the system startup time. With the Syskonnect card it lasts 40 seconds - I did not check with the I211 card anymore, but probably the same or longer by 10 seconds, i.e. about 50 seconds in total

Therefore, because WinXP 64-bit has a Syskonnect card driver I decided to change in the configuration so that the mini-setup is asking for network settings during installation:

Thanks to this, at the system installation stage, you can, for example, remove the QoS component and set a static IP without Internet access (no gateway and DNS) instead of DHCP
To get this, I deleted the following lines from the sysprep.inf file:

Code:

[Identification]
    JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

[Networking]
    InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

Now the sysprep.inf file is even more understandable and shorter
The entire sysprep.inf file:

Code:

[Unattended]
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    ConfirmHardware=No
    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes

[GuiUnattended]
    OemSkipWelcome=1

I found a problem bypass. The graphics card must be in the second slot PCIe x16 (works as x4) - connect over PCH controller - not direct to CPU controller:
