As Usual, I find new tricks and I am very very happy. Jaclaz, has been very helpful and I sincerely appreciate it. In my last post, please read CD + USB Floppy Driver. I was using USB Stick in the past but could not do so. that is why, I purchased Floppy driver 2 days back and then used Windows XP CD + F6 method to ask it to use drivers there in floppy drive. It takes the driver data and then gives the error that I have mentioned. Also, I am going through other thread that you have mentioned and would reply if that would help. Regards, Satyendra Shukla

I mentioned the word "P*****d", because there are people who are killing efforts of software engineers. I appreciate all the feedback given to me. I assure you that I have the latest version of nLite, and have the avi am nowalable AMD based driver x86 for sata. I am no longer using the old versions and use the latest one for: USB_multiboot.cmd I am now using XP CD + USB Drive containing the Sata drivers. This means that USB Pen drive + nLite is no longer in picture. Since, I have the USB Floppy Drive available now, I am using it when XP asks for f6 to install other drivers. Here I get the problem. I have Ubuntu and XP Installed. XP is corrupted. I cannot close this thread as it is still related to nLite. It is 1 AM here in India and I am still working over any possible solution. Regards, Satyendra Shukla

My main objective was to get XP installed in my Laptop, whether I use nLite or other options. My Laptop is HP CompaQ Presario CQ 45 AU 112 series (AMD Athlon 64). XP sp2 does not support SATA drivers, hence I am facing issues. I have tried to use "S" when installing Windows and then it ask to use Floppy Drive Containing the drivers. I insert the floppy driver, it accepts now and gives the error: File txtsetup.oem caused an unexpected error 43528 at line 1747 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c And then asks to either use Escape to continue. when I continue, it give me the blue screen and halts. When I use esc then it goes to the previous page and ask to insert the floppy drive and then halts. The problem seems to be due to the original XP CD . Had I have used the pirated CD, it would not have given any error/problem. Regards, Satyendra Shukla

Sorry! It has become confusing. On one hand you said that PeToUSB cannot be used to make USB PenDrives to work as XP installer CD, and on other side you say that "Genius Hackers" have distributed the wrong version. i am very happy to know that this tool was designed by the MSFN and Kudos to you. I had one of my friend, you was able to use PeToUSB to install Windows XP on his system. I have lost his touch and could not find his details for the timebeing. My objective is very clear that I wish to use XP on another Partition. I am using VMBox by SUN, in Ubuntu because I have to use exe files used by nlite and PeToUSB. It is not possible to execute exe files in Ubuntu. Once I am able to repair my corrupted XP which is there on another real aprtition, I would kill Virtual Box. I have DVD Writer and CD Reader only Drive in my Laptop, hence cannot create the CD. Regards, Satyendra

Thank you for your quick reply, 1) The problem is that the latest versions of nlite focus on Vista and XP SP3. That is why, I did not download them. 2) I am not sure, if the SP3 version can be downloaded and installed. I have also searched and noticed that SATA Issue is there with SP3 version. HP has acknowledge that it is irrespective of any version of XP, their Compaq Presario CQ-45 112 AU series would not support XP. They say that I would need the USB Floppy Drive, which I do not have. 3. I am trying to install from USB, as I only have DVD RW and not the CD RW in my notebook (Combo Drive). Also, there seems to be some issue with the DVD writer as it is not creating the Bootable WinXP CD when image is burned (obtained from nLite). o I prefer using Ubuntu/Linux for most of my stuffs, but EXCEL and Powerpoint has their edge over OpenOffice and I have to use Windows XP. VirtualBox crashes when I access XP and run Excel over it. It is obvious, that virtual is virtual only and cannot be real. I have very crucial data in my LapTop, which I wish to use in XP. Currently, I am using Ubuntu to use the data saved in the XP Partition. This is not a smart solution, but I am helpless. Kindly go through my thread again and suggest a solution.

Hi, I am new to this forum and reason being that I have tried all the stuff. My Notebook is from HP /conpaQ Presario CQ45 AMD 112AU. The Problem is that I am unable to install Windows XP image when nlite is used. 1) I used the nlite version: 1.4.8 and WinXP SP2 version 2) I have installed Ubuntu and then Windows XP SP2 on second partition. So, I get the prompt to boot either Ubuntu or Windows XP. 3) Ubuntu works fine and I have even installed Sun's Virtualbox with Windows XP SP2 from the same CD. So, in gist there are no issues with Ubuntu and the problem is with XP only. 4) When I boot from Windows XP, I get the blank screen, I even tried Safe mode etc and nothing worked out. So, the only possible solution was to repair. 5) I tried to repair the installed XP, by using the CD. It gives the error that it needs Floppy Drive and hangs out. (Due to unsupported SATA). Neither I am able to install XP, nor repair. I contacted HP, then they told be that they should use nlite and try integrating the drivers. HP DOES NOT SUPPORT XP TO BE INSTALLED IN NOTEBOOKS WHICH ARE MEANT FOR VISTA OR WINDOWS 7. I know that it is all scrap, because they sold me this Wondows XP software, I would need USB Floppy drive containing the drives. So, instead of using USB Floppy drive, I preferred to follow the workaround given by HP. 6) I used nLite and then integrated drivers. I successfully created the Windows Image to be installed. I transferred it to my USB Drive formatted using the utility "PeToUSB" feature by Genius Hackers. It successfully copies XP files and said that USB is now ready to be used as XP Installer CD. 7) That is where my problem started. When I boot the USB, I get the bluescreen: It gives me error biosinfo,inf not found error 14 8) I copied it from the internet to the USB Driver and then rebooted the system. I got a new message: ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded error 14 9) I then installed the file from Windows XP Hotfix (supportdesk), with ntoskrnl.exe. Again, I was prompted for the error for the missing files, which I kept on copying. I then copied the file hal.dll and now the system again gives the error: ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded error 14 Please help me as I have formatted the USB Drive and I do not have any other way to transfer data to this USB Drive. I have to go to Ubuntu, use Virtualbox and run XP, From there, I have to use the PeToUSB and nLite tools. (Another confusing thing is that why Windows XP got installed in Ubuntu's virtual environment without any issue). I cannot purchase the USB floppy drive because I would need to go 50 miles from here and I am unable to go there due to health reasons. Please help. Regards, Satyendra
