    Daniel USB3 drivers do not require WDF

    My old USB3 drivers (George King) require WDF

    I created an ISO and installed it successfully, but it only boots in IDE mode. When I switch to AHCI, it doesn't work!

    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.

    Created "out there"? Certainly. But it is not allowed to post it here (Homebrew).

    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)
