Hi, Fernando
I have DEV_22A3 too and want to try using “32bit Universal…”. But it does not contain string with 22A3. Which drive I have to select?
Thanks, Eugene
Sorry. I want to install WinXP on Dell Inspire 20. If it is important to note.
@Eugene_K :
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
Are you sure, that your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller has the DeviceID DEV_22A3? Please check it from within the “IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers” section of the Device Manager.
If you can verify, that it has the DeviceID DEV_22A3, I will attach a freshly customized mod+signed Intel RST driver v11.20.1006 with support of DEV_22A3 AHCI Controllers.
My mod+signed Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006 do contain the DeviceID DEV_0F23, which I thought is the DeviceID of the Intel BayTrail chipset SATA AHCI Controller.

Dieter (alias Fernando)
Hi Dieter,
thank you. Just double checked, under Win 7 it looks like the standard MS AHCI1.0 SATA device. ID 8086:22A3 (REV_21)

Eugene
@Eugene_K :
Attached is a freshly created “new Universal 32bit Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006 mod+signed by Fernando” with included support of the DEV_22A3 Intel SATA AHCI Controller.
Please report, whether this driver worked for your system or not.
Good luck!

Thank you.
Still does not work even though the driver was loaded (make video to be sure, message about loading SATA AHCI … DEV_22A3 … present)
BSOD after all driver loaded and 5 sec dark screen. STOP: 0x7E.
Win XP SP 3.
I presume that nothing else can be done, right?

@Eugene_K :
Thanks for your report, which verifies, that your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controler DEV_22A3 is supported by the mod+signed driver, which I had attached to my last post.
This BSOD means, that the XP Setup loaded a wrong (not matching) textmode driver or the support of a wrong (not matching) Intel SATA Controller.
Possible reasons:
1. usage of an already customized (not “clean”) XP image as source
2. integration of more than 1 driver or/and the support of more than 1 Intel SATA Controller
For a successful integration of an Intel textmode driver into an XP you have to make sure, that you use an original (untouched) XP CD as source and integrate not more than the one and only matching driver and the one and only matching Controller support.
Hi Fernando,
I’ve checked a hash sum of the original iso file and it is the same as the one on Microsoft site
Added only one driver and got the same result: STOP 0x7E, acpi.sys (the same number at BSOD)
Without adding the new driver under the original XP image I’ve got another BSOD
Computer has now the only hdd SATA controller (one channel for HDD and one channel for DVD)
Can you please advise if there are any other further actions
Thank you
Regards,
Eugene
@Eugene_K :
Hello Eugene,
thanks for your report.
The acpi.sys error message is XP related and indicates a wrong ACPI setting.
Please restart the XP installation and press F7 when the XP Setup prompts you to press F6. Maybe you will have to try different ACPI settings.
If that doesn’t help, restart the installation procedure and press F5 at the same stage of the installation process and try different options.
Good luck!
Hello Fernando! Today I have been trying to install Windows XP on an ASUS X541S laptop (Intel Celeron N3060 CPU) all day. It uses a SATA AHCI controller (22A3 device id). Unfortunately, there is no DVD/CD drive in the laptop (it is not designed for this). I tried to install it from a flash drive. No results.
However, I found one way out, but it is 70% working. First, I installed WinXP on a computer with a regular IDE controller. Then after I installed and updated the driver to ACPI (I installed either a multi-processor MPS or a single-processor MPS, in my opinion), then updated the IDE controller to your modified SATA-AHCI driver for 22A3.
Windows XP started on the laptop, but I cannot work with the keyboard or touchpad. The drivers are not detected at all. I also cannot connect a USB mouse/keyboard, I tried booting into safe mode - it does not work there either.
What can be done? I really want to get Windows XP working on ASUS X541S.

Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
Yes, this method is possible. After having forced the installation of a “wrong” (currently not matching) AHCI driver you have to enter the BIOS instantly after having restarted the PC/notebook and to set the Intel SATA Controller to “AHCI” mode.
After the next reboot the on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller should work with the modded and signed driver.
This is an USB driver problem and has nothing to do with the Intel AHCI driver.
@Fernando I have good news! I solved the problem with the USB driver by using scripts that were launched in startup, now I can use an external USB mouse, connect USB drives.
But in my device manager the sound card and network card are not even detected (as if they do not exist). I also have a problem with installing the GPU driver (Intel HD Graphics). Could this be due to the fact that instead of a full-fledged ACPI driver “Multiprocessor computer with ACPI” I use “Multiprocessor computer with MPS”?
In addition to WinXP, I have Windows 10 installed on another partition in which all these devices work. But I would like to use Windows XP, because Intel Celeron N3060 and 2 GB DDR3 RAM - well, it will clearly be too heavy for Win10.
Is it possible to improve the work of XP by adding the necessary drivers on my ASUS X541S laptop?
@olegshteker
This is a thread about XP compatible Intel AHCI/RAID drivers and not about XP compatible ACPI, Graphics, USB and Network drivers.
By the way - I cannot help you, because I have given up my tests to get XP or Win7 installed onto any of my PCs/notebooks.
Got it. In any case - thank you very much for the work done! Thanks to this thread I was convinced that it was possible to run Windows XP on my ASUS X541S! Well, then I will slowly continue to revive Windows XP on this laptop to the best of my knowledge and strength!
