Great, I'm going to find my USB Floppy and SD Cards reader, then I should probably reproduce it my main machine. I will probably just suppress that error, because issue is caused by something else - Not used drives are mounted, but doesnt contains real disk physically connected IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX, thats probably due that mechanism, because they are another part of HW where you connect another one too. Will see what can I do. I will check also mentioned SSE if it's possible.

@genieautravail Please add screenshots from Disk Management

@genieautravail Can you tell me more about your error 21? I need to know details about that disk which is not listed using ListDisk. Currently it means your disk is unsupported, but I don't know where should I dig, when I don't know nothing about it and can't reproduce it.

I think we should investigate how is done 16TB HDD support in XBOX 360. Maybe we can do something similar. https://fatxplorer.eaton-works.com/2022/08/09/fatxplorer-3-0-beta-22-16-tb-xbox-360-internal-hdd-support-updated-usb-patches/ https://fatxplorer.eaton-works.com/2024/01/03/combined-xbox-360-xl-patches-now-available/

Hi @Dietmar, Have you tried ChatGPT 4? Or just stick with free model? This whole app was designed by me with exact “prompts”. These models are really not comparable. I can tell you this. If you think its blind, I don’t really believe. I have spend amount of time to work with free version, Yes, its crap. ChatGPT 4 works much better, 90% of code is compile-able and working code. Depends just on prompt.

Just apply these registry settings into default and Administrator profile.

Exactly, ChatGPT is powerful for coding, but you need to know what you want. Be specific, have knowledge. I have succeed only when using ChatGPT 4, If you use free model 3.5 then its full of crap - no working code after many tries. These model are not comparable. Even I ask for solution, I have not faced mentioned issue - that mean I can reproduce and test. And this tool was not done in simple prompt. I really know what I want. Like give me working code for Visual Studio 2019 in C++ for command line application which will list all connected physical disks with partition details based on XXX structure which will use own structure to store data etc.. And each function was designed using that way.. For example I have fully rewritten POWIS from scratch to get Professional look and usability. Currently I have like 6000 lines of code in HTA, CSS, VBS and JS. Everything based on ChatGPT 4 code. But it takes time of course, but really duable

No idea, as you can see Disk 1 is missing in list. If exist on your machine, it will be probably something with that. Another important thing, I’m not programmer, just enthusiast. I needed tool like this so I managed it in a week with ChatGPT 4… Of course without programing knowledge it wont be possible. If you detect issue I can try to fix it, like I did with special characters replacement to display them correctly in CMD in systems older than 8.0. Source code is released, so you can always try to investigate. Feel free to fork, improve or fix and push request into main tree. Thats why we have source in public repository

When I decide to publish, then Yes. Now they are private only. BTW, nice spoiler from my MDL topic from currently work-in-progress on POWIS in XP2ESD

Fully updated Windows is always key, specially in XP days. I can't uderstand why a lot of people ignoring UpdatePacks and they crying and complaining. It's still same after another 10 years. Yes, and of course there could be bugs. But I quess I must face these issues, when testing images on real machines. Another point is, many "Windows XP Enthusiast" never have real XP machine and never used them, they are just too young..

Yeah, this one I bought for 19.99. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHc8Owp

980 Ti is 2x - 3x bigger than 710. This is my 980 Ti. Im awaiting brand new SZMZ GTX 960 and CCTING R9 280X… I think R9 vs 980Ti on x64 XP will be interesting to compare, both should be 384 bit. Btw, this setup runs now on unknown brand 2TB NVMe from AliExpress which cost 20$.. Dual Boot 11 and XP in CSM.

Hi, great package! Just check line 56 in Install.bat. It should be %SystemDrive% instead of %ProgramFilest%. Also using %%SystemDrive%% to keep them as variables in registry could be fine too. And line 68 have unneeded colon (:) in InstallDir %SystemDrive%:. SystemDrive returns drive with colon like C:

Everything was changed - see used structures in storport 7 vs 8. After 8056 was changed build environment - see other drivers for PoFx.. functions. It will probably never work. And If then only for specific driver, like Daniels NVMe 8.1 for 7. which have working TRIM in 7. Maybe you can start there instead. I tried patch his already patched files for 7 to XP in past. But without success.

@Damnation Because after 8056 was changed build environment and they pushed more incompatible code there. Trying to port whole 8 storport probably can't bring much benefits at all as structures were changed a lot. When I was porting 8.1 StorAhci code to XP with Kai 8 port I saw these changes. Instead of patching 8 storport would be better to start adding needed functions into Kai storport source based on 2003 sp1 storport. Same as Mov does with ACPI.

@Ratte Your mentioned drivers cannot be ported with Extender, as I already told you in PM, there are too much missing imports in newer drivers than 8056. I have already tried adding all PoFx.. functions as blank stubs. This wont work. Until you decompile and rewrite these functions. They have a lot of callbacks and probably not possible to rebuild them without some code leak.

@Dietmar Perfect! I works like a charm! Can you please patch XP 5.1 halmapci.dll with same patch too please? I would like to have option for HAL Timer patch without needs of usage PAE patch- Here is untouched file https://ufile.io/19fgyio7

@Dietmar Apologies, here is on better hosting https://ufile.io/sedncwt5

Hi @Dietmar, here is halmacpi.dll from 2003 x86. https://file.io/UwwY04hoZIj2

Hi @Dietmar I have tested on my machines PPM and HAL patches for XP 5.1 and 5.2 x64, my testing machine works very well with them. When I'm not use them I receive random freezes on applications. For example Snappy Driver Installer. I think your PPM patch works as expected for 5.2 x86. But I don't have HAL patch. Thats currectly missing piece in my puzzles. Cna you please try to install on your machine Server 2003 and find correct HAL patch? Your timer patches for x64 HAL and PPM works well. For example when I use your PPM patch for 5.1 I need to use PAE patch otherwise nothing changes. (Doesn't matter if use 4GB or 128GB it must contain some HAL timer patch too)

@Mark-XP It would be interesting to perform same test with Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86 as Windows XP x64 SP2 boots "fine" in UEFI from GPT disk partitioned by Windows 7 x64 setup. These builds should come from same source tree, so there is a chance 2003 x86 can do it instead of XP. And probably can be done by disk.sys + partmgr.sys from 2003
