    Oh, so I need to be doing all this from Windows XP? I was doing this on my host, running Windows 8.1. Should I use a Windows XP host?

    No, read the first post of the topic and watch the video - there I showed that you can even do it in Win10 so you should also be done in Win8.

    With WinDbg i can see that I have an error:
    *** Fatal System Error: 0x0000007e
    (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005,0xFFFFF8000143235D,0xFFFFFADF63A0F340,0xFFFFFADF63A0ED50)
    related to ntkrnlmp.exe
    I assumed this was the reason:
    Ignoring failure to load driver \WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\pciide.sys
    error control 1, status c000000f.

    Ignoring failure to load driver \WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\intelide.sys
    error control 1, status c000000f.

    Ignoring failure to load driver \WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\atapi.sys
    error control 1, status c000000f.

    So I put these files in from the WinXP x64 bit CD and this time I get an error 0x0000007B.

    But Omores uses exactly the same patched acpi.sys as I do in my tutorial.

    Ah then I don't know why this one worked for me and the other one didn't. The only thing I know is that it gave me error 0x00007E according to WinDbg but thanks anyway Gelip for the integration of EFI in WinXP that really worked for me in my Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3

    Oh yes, I finally know why I get the error 0x00007e. It turns out that in sysprep I removed the USB and AHCI drivers and left only the NVMe to avoid problems and when I started Windows XP and installed the USB drivers, bam, I got the 0x00007E screen.

    But what are you writing about - WinPE 3.1 (Win7) or WinXP 64-bit?

    My patched files:
    Code:
    WinPE acpi.sys 6.1.7601.17514                CRC-32: 3d59eb30 (boot.wim\Windows\System32\drivers)
    WinXP acpi.sys 5.2.3790.7777 built by: didi2 CRC-32: 6825a9b0 (install.wim\WINDOWS\system32\drivers & WINDOWS\Driver Cache\amd64\sp2.cab)

    About WinXP, but I solved the problem. The problem was with the USB controller, no with the ACPI driver and I didn't get error 0xA5, but rather 0x7E because in your sysprep iso i quitted the USB driver and I left NVMe driver, refer in post 197. I tried the omores driver and yours, and it doesn't work in WinXP. In WinPE the same 0x7E error happens, but in WinPE I have other USB controllers that work fine, specifically the ASUS AMD drivers for Win7. Now the new problem I'm having is that when I disable CSM UEFI, it gets stuck on the Aurora screen. The WinXP startup sound plays, but it remains on the Aurora screen. I think that is from the VGA driver from WinXP but I dont know

    But in my WinPE (boot.wim) exactly the same USB3 drivers are integrated as in WinXP because they are universal. Do you mean that you changed the USB3 drivers to other ones in WinPE ???

    But can you help me with a video problem that I have. The problem is that it is stuck on the Starting WinXP 64 bit screen (winload.efi), the WinXP startup sound is heard and it still remains on the Aurora screen, also when I press a key I hear the sound that WinXP makes when you press a key on the desktop, and when I press the power button I hear the WinXP shutdown sound and the PC shuts down.

    Your posts show that you are messing with different drivers and files at different times during installation.
    Build ISO exactly step by step and read carefully how to install according to my guide.

    I'm working on a CMD and GUI application for basic UEFI NVRAM BootMenu editing from my modern WinXP 64-bit:

    Work in progress :)
    • I shortened the information displayed at SaveRt startup to a minimum
    • I changed the Next Boot setting to click from the list - previously you had to enter the item number
    • Cosmetic changes, smaller window and organized buttons
    • I added About... in the system menu
    • I changed the font to a normal one, e.g. Tahoma instead of Fixedsys
