"It will be necessary to update the acpi tables on the bios for complete support."

Yes, make try. It is a lot of work but with Acpi shutdown works and you have hyperthreading

Can you recommend a guide to follow? I’m not practical about bios changes

23

@antome
At the moment there is no Tutorial yet,
but it will come.
I think, your board has a Bios switch back possibility,
so no risk.
The nice idea comes from @Mov_AX_0xDEAD
Just read all at

and try,
for me it works on 3 boards

Regarding the XP USB installers you used:
WinToFlash
Rufus

What versions of those programs were they that you used. This is helpful to know that at least that version# did not work and anything prior could also not work.

Also what Operating System did you run these two programs on to create the USB XP installers?

How many attempts did you perform on each of the 2 USB installers? Did you try to replicate the same Hardware ID used in the optical disc drive method to make sure it wasn’t different?

Windows 10 x64 october update, used the same modded ISO of XP for test
- the latest version of WinToFlash lite
- Rufus 2.2

26

@antome
WinToFlash Lite v1.13.0000 seems to be the latest build but the paid versions may have more functionality.

Rufus 2.2 does not appear to be compatible.

According to their site 2.18 is the last XP compatible that could run on XP.


Version 2.18 (2017.11.07)
Ensure that the same drive is reselected on device refresh
Add a cheat mode to cycle the USB port of currently selected device
Make lookup for updatable .cfg file more generic (e.g. ESET SysRescue)
Fix handling of multiextent ISOs (e.g. BlackArch Linux)
Fix propagation of image decompression errors
Update grub4dos to latest

IMPORTANT: THIS IS THE LAST RELEASE TO SUPPORT WINDOWS XP AND WINDOWS VISTA
SUBSEQUENT RUFUS RELEASES ARE NO LONGER COMPATIBLE WITH THESE PLATFORMS


You can try again with this version and report the result:

Remember to unplug any USB external drives and only connect one USB flash drive that you intend to burn the test.

I think so, he should proof it, not just all-talk,
coz I got AsRock Z170 OCF and did long searching and found nothing LAN/ USB3 for XP.

I may have found a solution to the ACPI.sys issue.
https://msfn.org/board/topic/176284-cele…stall-xp-on-it/

The only problem is integrating it inside a Windows XP installation!
I can’t just simply replace the ACPI.sys located in i386 because the driver is located in a LZX:21 archived called “ACPI.SY_”.
I tried manually replacing the file with a compressed folder and changed the name and extension, but no luck: Windows XP setup says the file is corrupt then…

29

Fix provided by rloew; I didn’t test it yet.

Too bad BSOD is still ongoing…

hi,Fernando and all your team members ,thanks to all your work for windows drivers ,
I habe a problem with my PC
I5-8400
TUF B360M-PLUS GAMEING
Renesas USB 3.0 µPD720202 pci-e card
I have Integration of Intel’s AHCI/RAID Drivers by using nLite ,install XP SP3 and succefull ,PS/2 keyboard work fine,but I cannot dirver the USB3.0 card,so mouse cannot work ,
I install the Renesas USB 3.0 drivers ,but without effect.
in the Device Manager,there not display the Renesas USB 3.0 µPD720202 pci-e card and no cpu
I didn’t install chipset drivers, how can I driver the chipset ？I didn’t find the XP install drivers.
Thanks very much

BIOS ,I closed all the ACPI settings

Try swapping to all the other PCIe slots to see if it detects.

Try a different brand USB 3.0 PCIe card such as VIA VL805 chipset. Molex power adapter should be connected to the USB card or it will not work for some cards.

Did you install XP OS with NO ACPI method?

There are no chipsets drivers for XP newer than Ivy Bridge. Most just rename the device so you know what it is and has no actual driver.

32

yes,I install XP OS with NO ACPI method,press F7 while begine install
I will try other USB 3.0 PCIe card
thanks!!

33

@amss

I have issues using USB 3.0 to install XP

try a USB 2.0 card

Also I recommend you integrate the USB 3.0 drivers into your XP install ISO using nLite for the easiest way to use the USB mouse in case you do not have a PS/2 Keyboard with PS/2 port on your motherboard to install the USB drivers.

35

@XPLives

I ran into problems when I tried to integrate AMD USB 3 drivers into my XP CD image
It never worked properly
so I ended up getting a PCI-E USB 2.0 card from ebay

36

@infuscomus



It’s possible you mixed too many drivers into the CD.

You have to keep it minimal.

First SATA AHCI driver

Second AMD USB driver

If any other device drivers are installed first before USB then you will not be able to use your USB devices.

That’s why I keep mine simple to avoid this issue.

37

@XPLives

that may have been the cause,

either way, using this USB 2.0 card with an iodd 2531 ended up working anyway.

38

@infuscomus



Which USB 3.0 card did you use that failed installing the driver with nLite?

39

@XPLives

I could not get the integrated AMD USB 3.0 working in XP textmode setup using nlite.

but once I got XP properly installed the USB 3.0 worked fine,
so it means I didn’t integrate the USB 3.0 driver properly.

the AMD USB HWID is
PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_43BB&CC_0C0330

For me XP not even installing, I get the usual ACPI.sys issue with the A5 BSOD.

I have tried different modified acpi.sys files but none of them actually worked for me.

On 8530u by the way.
