UPDATE: I was able to bypass the 0x07B BSOD. I used WinSetupFromUSB (which uses Grub4DOS) to emulate a floppy (by editing winsetup.lst) and put the UniATA files in there while booting from a HD with DOS 7.1 + vanilla Win2k SP4 setup installed. I pressed F5 --> Standard PC and F6. I loaded the UniATA driver. It booted and brought me to the Welcome to setup screen. BUT I cannot interact with it, so I have the keyboard issue from earlier. I only used WinNTSetupfromUSB so I could have a way to get to the hard drive (bc i have an artifical block by BIOS on internal drives) This is what my winsetup.lst looks like:

@reboot12 Huhuhuhuhu, think just 2 sec Dietmar PS: This is my genious idee. It is very similar to how I discover USB boot of XP. And because it works I see, that I understand what is going on with csmwrap.efi on the Arrow Lake board under XP SP3.

@Dietmar F..k, why don't you read carefully what I write I mean NVIdia GT 730 card

@reboot12 Of course I am right. Look at this, I just use your nice tool on the Arrow Lake board. And those Hexvalues will tell you, what I have done Dietmar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

I don't believe it. I asked you to take a screenshot in xp in SlicTool Kit (slic.exe): https://www.mediafire.com/file/zuxxznjxjjnn3u1/memory_check.zip/file At the moment I'm not interested in whether the card works on ArrowLake with CSMwrap just whether it actually has VBIOS - connect card to other old motherboard run xp in legacy mode and please use slic tool kit.

@reboot12 I just check again: The GT 730 does not have an Legacy VGA Option Rom. The Radeon R240 has. But the Radeon also does not load 55 AA at C0000 because the PCI-bus 1 has not enough resources for it under XP on the Arrow Lake board. This you can check easy via UEFI shell with dmem 0C0000 40 . The resources go all to PCI-bus 00. And because of this, also Clover does not help. I understand everything, what the problem is of the Arrow Lake bord for booting via Graphik card for XP SP3 and also what is the problem of csmwrap.efi: It needs mostly the help of an underlying CSM from a compi, where it is just disabled. Or it is lost without Legacy VGA Option Rom, waiting of 2 min for to load SeaBios and then black screen. And on an Arrow Lake board this resources problem appears. After I understand this, I can boot full XP SP3 to desktop, 32 bit color and resolution as much as I want, 3D driver works to full there. I disable PCI-bus 01 in Device Manager. Everything works there and is stable Dietmar

I'm hoping for an update to ESR 128.10, as there was a major security patch issued last month. I think ESR 128.11 was next. Crossing my fingers

It is impossible that such an old graphics card GT 730 does not have a Legacy vbios, after all, you booted the computer with this card in Legacy mode using CSMWrap - right? https://msfn.org/board/topic/186793-csmwrap-boot-csm-on-uefi-only-systems/page/10/#findComment-1280463 This is proof that it has vbios - show what the SLIC ToolKit memory dump at C0000 shows: https://msfn.org/board/topic/186793-csmwrap-boot-csm-on-uefi-only-systems/page/9/#findComment-1280402

I meant PNP vs text mode drivers, like txtsetup.oem and txtsetup.sif. Would the F6 thing work? Bc I might be able to get it working on the laptop, but I only have SATA and USB port because it’s Kaby Lake.

@reboot12 I wonder, which parts from DSDT are really presented from the SeaBios to the compi. When only Acpi1b words are presented, it is clear, that the original acpi.sys works. ReadWrite Everything gives me a DSDT on running XP SP3 on the Arrow Lake board, which is very near to the DSDT from UEFI Bios F6. And so comes the problem with XP: Not enough resources for the PCI-1 bus. On my older compi from 2009, which is my daily work compi X58, there is only ONE PCI-bus. And on that PCI-bus 1 with yellow mark sits Slot 1 with the graphik card. NOTHING other sits there! It has nothing to do with recogneicing the Graphikcard. They are recogniced with their VID&Pid numbers via csmwrap.efi . The AMD has Legacy VGA Option Rom, the Nvidia GT 730 not. The fault of csmwrap.efi is, that it needs an Legacy VGA Option ROM on a compi without any CSM or black screen, after SeaBios is loaded and XP starts. You see the running Balken, but then only start sound of XP. And also a VGA UEFI Option ROM, or no screen at all from start of compi, I tested with AMD Radeon HD6450. And this gives me the ingenious idea, how to overcome this problem, works Dietmar PS: I also tried a heavy modd of the DSDT, for to give PCI-1 bus more resources. Fail, may be something like hard wired or stored in other Acpi tables. The most easy would be, to use not an acpi PC, but this is not what I wanted.

Yes, Windows 2000 does support the installation of drivers while the Windows installation is still using a text mode. At the beginning of the installation you are being asked to press [F6] to install additional drivers. Is there any specific problem you encountered? Are you looking for a solution to use additional drivers without the need to press a key on your keyboard?

new version is up

Yeah im used to do it too, but its sort of the last resort it has some problem: - I usually migrating too old Oses to too modern machines, but hardware is not really similar because - but i never tried VirtualBox 4 - but it would need to install Virtual machine probably from the old machine too - What is newest OS supported by Virtualbox 4 - WinXP? - Qemu has i im not wrong much broader emulating HW options, but i never was friends its command line hell settings - GUI frontends for Windows where allways outdated and not great.. and even on Linux its problematic, especially KVM GPu passthrough with Qemu was allways hell.. Lastime when i tried it, i run into some App rights admin level issues.. because some new Linux xserver changes - its always moving target, when you are not using Linux on the daily basis.. - better options seems to be 86box -PCem successor emulation - could be can set up anything from 8086 to Pentium III (it could be too old) - partition is never issue, because there are is always some compatible tool from modern OS, or from BootCD - i have quite big collection of these on the Ventoy USB - ISO loader tool - For modern OS - Win2000+ - im using P2P HW Adjust tools - mostly from Paragon. So far i did not found such tool Windows 98 and NT4, it became a thing probably too late for these to support Im used to use it in the XP era.. Microsoft even had some tool called Sysprep for it, P2P tools above are probably based on it, but i never found some good and easy to implement tutorial for it, it always seemed a awkward.. BTW what is exactly Registry key to delete for Windows 98 or NT4? i have in some notes this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum but its probably for WinXP.. There is also problem, you have to remove reg keys before making image, or do it through loading hive and i wrote.. so far i did not found tool to load Win9x offline.. NT4 have some different registry structure, but seems loading hive is possible. I read that is maybe possible to edit Win98 registry through some MS-DOS 7 tool command line tool, but i never tried it, it would be handy.

Ok i have tried all normal things like remote desktop FTP, access to Windows 98 share from modern Windows (10) all worked, but the most important thing - access from Windows 98 to Win 10 does not work.. I may have some mess with User accounts- ater account recreation / renaming, because unattended install or l etc, but i doubt it.. I simply get bluescreen when i add these keys to Registry to Win98: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa] "LMCompatibility"=dword:00000003 "LmCompatibilityLevel"=dword:00000001 - i proven it with other machines that works for Win98 access to Win10 (After NTML version lowering it Windows 10).. - When i select cancel on the logon screen instead for network password login, i get not bluescreen.. I had tried to create entirely new user - but its the same.. Other someone could be able to tell from bluescreen text, its its networking related (VNETUP - looks very like it, press to continue freeze and N or Y settings is not wokring - maybe because of USB keyboard).. its some kernel / update mess, bluescreen text is: Invalid VxD dynamic link call from VREDIR(01) + 000071BE to device "VNETUP", service 8. Your Windows configuration is invalid. Run the Windows Setup program again to correct this problem. To continue running Windows press Y, to continue to run Windows without this problem press N. If you continue system may be unstable. Question is could Win10 filesharing works with Windows 98 - 16 bit drivers? Its ancient, but yeah its working from Win10 to Win98.. And if my memory servers for MS-DOS too there are would be probably the same 16 bit driver too.. - im not sure how NTML collaborating Windows 16 bit NDIS2 driver, maybe you need higher version for it. Other option is that i need some unofficial networking patch for it etc.. I dont really remember which packages installed on my machines where, it is working, so far it not verified it from the scratch.. There are some contradicting tutorials how to make Windows 98 to Windows 10 access working (some hinting to delete all LM** keys).. I have installed SSH server on my Windows 10 machines, so i can use WinSCP or Total COmmander plugins, but this its not as good as vanilla Windows network folder access.. What is interesting this settings is working even when Windows 98 filesharing network component is not installed, but maybe this component is only need for access to Windows 98 share (Description seems to imply it) - i never had much interesting in networking details. BTW 7 years ago i did detailed MS-DOS to Win10 networking analysis guide, it could be handy for someone, or someone can enhance it, there also soft of unknow variables. As im not detaily user of these ancient stuff and had not good memory, i dont remember everything from top of my head. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=61823 I will report more incompatible Programs if will find them here: - ThightVNC server 1.3.10 - Generate boot bluescreen (there not any driver or service names, just some generic memory values/adbress numbers mess), so far it did not tried to other VNC server, or move net start command in the autoexec, its started at the start.. but suspect that the end of autoexec its still before VNC server driver /service is started, so it will not help..

@Dietmar I noticed an interesting thing - I did the xp32 tests with CSMWrap described in the last few posts on the original xp sp2 files including acpi.sys and there were no problems with acpi. Today I wanted to test something, I set CSM Enabled in the bios, I run the system without CSMWrap and there is BSOD A5. I replaced the acpi.sys outside of the running system with the ones from you - modded acpi.sys 5.2 and the system boots fine - but it seems to be related to the fact that I use winload.exe and it has a problem with the original acpi.sys - I seem to have written about it before (in 2019 and 2020) on BA about xp 64-bit + winload.exe: https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=445453&sid=c0c23f5574a1881384f2de47f5f59987#p445453 https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=447734&sid=c0c23f5574a1881384f2de47f5f59987#p447734 Very interesting that with CSMWrap work ok original acpi.sys + winload.exe

New version now released, Supermium 132.0.6834.224 R4. This release of Supermium includes various changes and improvements, including: (#1412) - Option to disable autoplay introduced in chrome://flags, #disable-autoplay (#1403) - --force-dark-mode option introduced to deal with possible issues with white flashes in dark mode.

I already told you that if there is no source files, the language and I only have English. The Japanese language, I created it, just making each message straight text files in DLL. And the following problem is SFC There is a lot of mistakes. 19 that language I already know You will never find official files. Unless you have to ask for Microsoft only

For Windows 2003 Server x64 the official languages are 19! I asked you how you create packages for the x64 versions, since DXUPAC does not work. If you want to give me an answer I thank you. If you want to evade the question I will find the method in another way. Thanks

That fixed it for me, thank

GOP not from this one but from a similar HD7450 Did you read this post?

Yesssssaaa After soso much crazy tests and hacks I succeed with the Nvidia GT 730 graphik card for to boot XP SP3 with full 32 bit graphik on the Arrow Lake Gigabyte board B860 DS3H under pure Uefi, means no csm at all. Dietmar

@reboot12 Please tell me step by step, how you integrated amd-gop from that card into Bios on board of a compi, which tool you need and can this be done for other graphik cards also Dietmar

Why clover? CSMWrap 1.2.1 normal load VBIOS from my AMD6450 - but in motherboard bios I have amd-gop inserted.

@reboot12 Yes, but now comes the sad message: Clover cant load the legacy VGA Option Rom at this place C0000. At once I understand, why only 4 bit Graphic. But when I use the Nvidia card GT 730 with csm disabled on the Asrock z370 k6 board, it also does not load the vga Bios to C0000. But strange enough, after waiting about 2 min, it boots XP SP3 in 32 bit color. The normal Nvidia driver works. So, it must fetch the information, that it has a legacy VGA option Rom from another place Dietmar
