Damnation

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

that's one of the first things i tried, no change

is there a way i might reinstall the mouse and keyboard? I can still access via remote desktop, so any ideas are welcome

I tried that, doesn't work the only thing that has worked so far is a complete reinstall of XP by configuration, do you mean my hardware? motherboard: GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK graphics card: nvidia GTX 970 soundcard: audigy rx I've managedto get drivers for XP for all my devices (no "other devices" listed in device manager) I can still log into the machine via remote desktop to access things, from there I can access device manager and see mouse and keyboard are gone. It's just this strange mouse and keyboard disappearing thing that's bothering me, and it only happens once i boot into another OS. any ideas?

Hi all, Merry Christmas I recently reinstalled XP on my machine and it was working fine up until just yesterday. The mouse and keyboard have disappeared from my device manager, I'm trying to figure out how I can reinstall them. - The mouse/KB are working fine when i boot windows 10. I can still access and use my XP install through Remote Desktop, so can anyone help me to get the mouse and keyboard reinstalled on XP? any help would be appreciated, thanks

You can get Windows 98 with MIDI through the latest DOSBOX found here http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ It's not a simple task getting windows 98 installed in DOSBOX though. I can help you with it if you have the patience
