    Hmmm... tricky question...

    Could you upload the final version of the FDV file set ?

    In 2007 I downloaded Fred Vorck's package, made a few install CDs, and haven't used HFslip since.

    Dell Optiplex 7020

    i7-4790 (Haswell)

    Intel Q87 chipset ~Limited XP embedded support

    . I heard that W2K has issues with USB 2.0 on newer hardware because it has old drivers.  The device manager shows many unknown devices. The most important of these are USB 2.0, Networking, and graphics drivers.

    I am happy to report that on Dell Latitude e6540 the USB predicament has been overcome

  3. There is now graphics (to my surprise)

    vbem, I discovered that w2k legacy driver works, I just need to copy the .inf file into that directory.  And it is 1920x1080.  Since I don't let windows go online, I could almost use the machine, running w2k;  but why ?

    I tried on that uu rollup.  There is some good in it, but I should be allowed to pick what to upgrade (and I would like to know what I am updating and why).  As it is, following the "update," file explorer is unable to copy and paste (that startup picture is awful), OS can now see four cores;  vbem's PnP driver works;  no memory stick, no SDcard, no USB CD-drive.

     

    I am now trying to modify the w2k server install source, using Fred Vorck's method, to make it IE-less.

     

    First, run Intel's chipset package for QM87, then update those USB drivers: from the chipset packs pick the "I" directory and install both windows and intel drivers

    usbhub20.sys is re-installed, but it is causing no more problem;  now usb mouse functions.  Interestingly, under NT 4, usb mouse functions out-of-the-box.

    ====================

    late development:

    We now have USB, memory stick, external CD.  (eventually I might just learn how to install an operating system)

  4. Attached pictures might explain your USB predicament.

    Dell Latitude e6540:

    I removed SSD card and replaced HDD;  changed BIOS to "ATA."  Using my trusted w2k CD, started the procedure.  It went well until first picture occured.  W2k checked hard drive, gave the option to partition, format, etc.  The installation completed ---the usbhub20.sys is actually installed where it should be.  Following reboot blue screen showed up.

     

    It seems w2k does not know what to do with the USB that is in these machines.  In my opinion, lack of USB should not be a reason for blue screen, but we know that Microsoft is always looking for excuse for blue screen.

     

    So, before anything else, we need a usbhub20.sys that functions in 2013.

    Then I would like to see if you can find a video driver.

    (until installation got to usbhub20.sys, usb mouse actually functioned)

    when it came to activation, I did the good old online process, and interestingly enough, Windows activated itself without any issue.

    it wouldn’t surprise me though if they decide to keep the servers up they let the certs expire again

    It is very good news;  even if it only lasts for a few years.

    I am sorry to learn that you wandered for five years on DOS 7, but you weren't actually forced

    Really;  somehow you think I made wind 95/98 a financial success;  I put wind 95 on 95% of desktops ?

    There was a several million dollar ad campaign and road show to promote Windows 95;  I have not seen one NT 3.51 ad.

    The stores had stacks of Windows 95 installation packages, OS/2 packages, not one NT 3.51.  Not one computer with NT 3.51 pre-installed.

    Yes, servers had the option of NT, but not the household machines.

     

    And for five years the whole planet wandered in the MS dos 7 deadend street to nowhere;  it took Microsoft that much time to weave into the NT 3.51 code their nefarious purposes.

    however, if one is having problems with the built in activator

    After reading this thread, I reinstalled XP just to see, using as Dell original XP cd (no service pack), on a Thinkpad z60m which has a valid XP sticker on it, and I managed to activate before.

    I read you instructions, tried and tried, but it is 32777;  so I resorted to force and modified oobetimer (it works charmingly)

    I have IBM, Toshiba, Dell, HP installation CDs, so activation is not needed;  but.......

    This operation is well-known to be less than obvious! On all Nt-series Windows, including W2k.

    The host is obviously different, and I get the blue screen

    Is there a way to boot the machine in Linux and copy whatever files needed, to the right places ?

    Other question:

    So the live XP cd which I made a few years ago on the Toshiba Satellite A110, does not work either, because the motherboard is different ?
