Damnation

I've managed to get XP drivers for everything in my z97x-ud5h-bk system, all except intel USB 3.0 But I've run into a bizarre issue where my HID Devices keep disappearing

Still no mouse Tried the USB 3 ports, same result Would a PS/2 adapter suffice? Nothing at logon Autologon already enabled should i set USBDeview to run at startup?

Second Install attempt successful Without doing anything else, I rebooted to see if the mouse keyboard problem returned, unfortunately it did :( this is with the one piece update pack and intel AHCI integrated, nothing else any ideas?

Hi again, Some progress, Integrated onepiece update pack and intel AHCI driver no more 7B BSOD, but nothing is actually installed on next boot, no control panel or anything Do I need to make a modification to my XP CD for install off a USB CDROM drive?

It's a 7B, that's AHCI right? damnit, I thought I'd integrated the drivers correctly

OK, I integrated the update pack and AHCI drivers into my install the install worked in a VM, but on my actual hardware it got stuck in a BSOD loop on the 3rd reboot, just after the EULA and the license key phase The BSODs disappear too quickly that I can't see the error code, any way I can make it not reboot on BSOD?

OK Thanks, I'll try this out is nlite OK to integrate? or should i use something else?

Dibya, you mentioned earlier that you had a friend with the same motherboard as me that has XP installed, can you ask them how they did it?

yeah i know, i was wondering if it might be possible to migrate usbxhci back to XP if we're using a modded kernel

isn't the usbxhci.sys file a generic driver?

I wonder if this works, if it would be possible to use the generic microsoft usb3 driver in xp?

I disconnected it whilst installing it, as it overwrote my win10 bootloader the 1st time i installed when i'd left it connected

I'm not sure it's an EFI problem, as the problem will also happen if I return to XP after booting my USB ubuntu, and I set up ubuntu in MBR mode when I installed it. I think I've skipped chainloading, each OS is on it's own drive, their bootloaders only boot themselves, they aren't aware of other OSes If I want to boot a different OS, I press F12 after POST and select the drive I want to boot

It's running an i7-4790 cpu my mistake when i wrote "reinstall", I meant "install", this machine hasn't had XP on it before now. It originally shipped with 8.1 pro and is now with win10 pro I have 2 seperate internal SSDs, one with win10, one with XP, also an external USB with ubuntu

all i'm doing is installing XP, what else can i do?

not really, it's only temporary though, and i need remote desktop to do it I know this makes no sense, that's why I'm asking for help with this

I've found a temporary fix boot XP remote desktop into XP open command prompt shutdown -r press f12 rapidly before anything boots select XP drive problem returns when i boot win10/linux then return to XP, must repeat procedure to get mouse/keyboard back

I have tried your fix, unfortunately it did not work

I'll get back to you a bit later and let you know if it works or not. I'm off to bed for now. p.s. is there an alternative USB driver I might be able to try and see if it fixes this?

they each have their own cable going into their own usb 2.0 port back of motherboard GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5378

If it was a hardware failure, wouldn't I be experiencing these issues with other OSes as well?

reg keys while broken kbdclassbroken.reg.txt mouclassbroken.reg.txt

I think I might have figured out what is happening, but not how to fix it I backed up the mouse and keyboard registry entries, restored them through remote desktop, then restarted, it works again until i leave XP then I have to restore again any idea how to block registry entries from being altered? kbdclass.reg.working.txt mouclass.reg.working.txt

mouse and keyboard gone

OK, I've reinstalled XP, I've got a screenshot of device mager with mouse and keyboard present, should be attached. I'm about to restart, it's gonna disappear again
