XP wont install.

[Greenslade]

I have tried four different XP ISO,s all come up with the blue screen error All the discs burnt with no errors.i thought perhaps it was the discs I was using for the last one i used a dvd one, but still no disc.
No problem with putting Vista and 7 on there. so what is the problem?I don,t understand why it works with Vista and 7 but not with XP.?

Sata drivers perhaps?

I see that screen when I have my drive settings set for AHCI instead of IDE if I happen to try XP with a standard install done.
Doesn't matter if you're installing or trying to boot a copy, the screen you have is typical of what happens in that case.

If your board doesn't give you the option to use IDE you can try this instead:
Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver for Windows XP : Intel : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Has XP drivers for AHCI included but you'll need to Nlite your copy of XP and slipstream them into the install for it to work.

I tried a tried using a ide drive and did not get that blue screen message.instead i get a message about there being no system of course there is no system detected i am trying to put one on there Why do i get the message about shutting the system down with the Sata drive, and not with the IDE oneWhy does it call the SSD Raid?

 

[Apocalypsee]

Do what Bones suggest, it usually because of SATA driver. Slipstream XP with your motherboard SATA driver using nLite. It's easy

Slipstream XP with your motherboard SATA driver using nLite

Ahhh the memories!

That's the one, that's what I was thinking and not sata drivers, though it's been a long time since I've done an real (not in a VM) Windows XP, you just need to change the ahci setting in the bios to ide mode then it should install on your sata HDD

No need to do an nlite iso either if you're in ide mode, theres also an ahci registry change you can make when you have xp installed and then change back to ahci from the bios with no bsod iirc

 

[Darkholm]

Installed XP on i5 3470 and some H61M mATX board when I had to "wake up" Seagate 500GB HDD with BSY error (infamous ST3500320AS FW15). Only way I could install it was via this guide.
Please try it and give us feedback

I tried it with the ide and srill got this message It does not look like i will be able to get. it in there.I have other boards to try XP on and got it on a older board with a CD card.The other on going problem is getting 3mark to work on other boards

I didn't say try the ide drive I said you need to go into the bios and change it from ahci to ide that's why it won't install on either

Have you tried another HDD? I see you're using a SATA to IDE controller so I would try a native IDE hard disk. If that doesn't work, try checking the motherboard website/manual to see if there's something specific you have to load to get XP to work. Also, if you don't want to use Nlite, you can put the drivers on a floppy disk and press F6 when prompted.

He doesn't need a driver if he has the option to change ahci to ide mode in the bios, he has also tried a ide drive though if the controller is in ahci mode this explains why it won't install to either

Oh, OK. In that case, I'd narrow it down to the SATA to IDE adapter that they're using.

All the BSOD errors I've had this year diving deep into the retro build arena have been SATA/IDE driver/drive related, but some images have also worked better than others.

Bios will need to be IDE mode, some adapters get rejected, some work fine, best bet is straight IDE drives for minimal fuss, but it is possible to install directly to a SATA SDD using IDE mode in the BIOS, I know becuase it worked, but on a end of XP support gen board (haswell). I almost lost my mind setting up a Socket 775 C2D AGP board but I got there, and I did get there using a SATA SSD with a Startech SATA/IDE adapter to it, and using a service like easy2boot (or another equivalent) that makes injecting the necessary driver possible.

I should have documented what worked but I was so close to putting my head through the board I was just stoked I got there

 

[Marcus L]

Well op hasn't confirmed that he has changed the setting, seems to be a language barrier perhaps? he's tried a ide drive as I pointed out that's not being recognised, and again it makes sense if the controller is in ahci mode so it won't recognise the ide drive and requires a driver for the sata drive unless he changes it in the bios, though I'm having to repeat myself at this point so I think I'll just leave them to it

I am not installing it on modern hardware.

Have you tried what everyone has been saying for the past few comments and put the BIOS setting to IDE mode?

O am

That is the only thing that comes up IDE .I am English no language barrier hereI am putting
Vista and 7 as dual boot.I am still using the IDE burner.I did it before but they said wanted me to put a new key in This one you din,t need one.

 

[Marcus L]

Can you post a picture of the storage settings in bios

 

[Greenslade]

Can you post a picture of the storage settings in bios

Yes i will do ,after getting Vista on there.I have never had trouble getting XP on all my other boards.

What's the model motherboard btw

 

[Solaris17]

No one is talking about out that.

in the BIOS you need to change AHCI to IDE

 

[Greenslade]

What's the model motherboard btw

ms 71181 1.0. AMD Sempron 2800

No one is talking about out that.

I don,t see any AHCI.or IDE ,see photos on the BIOS.I have had no problems getting ME or 2000 on any of my other boards.

 

[lexluthermiester]

0x0000007B means " INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE " even though is didn't state that on screen. At least that's the official error code listing.

What version of XP(RTM, SP1, SP2 SP3) are you using and what kind of boot media?

sp2 and sp3 i have a number of discs.Where do i find Ahci or IDE in the bios there is none.? I give up on getting XP on this board.At least i did not get the blue error message i got with the. Sata DVD drive.I left the settings the same as when i put Vista on there.IDE DVD drive for this last try to get XP on here.
