    XP and future of web browsing...

    Virtual machine but not that way.

    You need a modern desktop computer with CPU, chipset and bios support VT-d feature, integrated iGPU, old PCIe graphics card with WinXP drivers e.g AMD HD7450 and second monitor. You install Linux on it, e.g. Debian 9, put the virt-manager virtual machine with WinXP and passthrough the PCIe graphics card into this WinXP vm machine :P

    It works very efficiently. Here I did it on a laptop: PCI passthrough karty graficznej na Debian 9 64-bit

    But I also tested it on the desktop computer recently and it works without a problem - preferably with the PCIe AMD graphics card.

    TRIM on NVMe disk under WinXP

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    On SATA SSD disks you can do TRIM manually under WinXP using programs e.g. Intel SSD Toolbox, Solid State Doctor etc.

    I have a NVMe disk and when I run these programs on WinXP, they see the disk but they do not support the TRIM because the disk is connected using the SCSI controller and not SATA, e.g. Solid State Doctor display this:

    2731823500_1667647054_thumb.jpg

    Quote from the program manufacturer:

    Not compatible with RAID, drives that detect as SCSI, or with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) SSDs

    Does anyone know any program for making TRIM on a NVMe disk?

    The monitor driver can also be built using the Monitor Asset Manager tool. From menu File select Create INF...

    Cross-platform Windows XP File Transfer Software?

    As a windows XP FTP client I can suggest (good ol') LeechFTP

    As an Android FTP server, you can use Material Files 1.5.2 or FTP Server 0.11.5 and on WinXP for FTP Client (download/upload), you don't need anything more than built-in old Internet Explorer 6 :)

    6930419200_1667501393_thumb.jpg

    Instead of FTP, you can use the AndSMB application via WiFi (download/upload).

    You would be able to add support for edit boot order in NVRAM UEFI from WinXP 64-bit - access to table efi_boot_services

    EFI_BOOT_SERVICES

    You can do it under Linux with efibootmgr: 

    root #efibootmgr -v

BootCurrent: 0002
Timeout: 3 seconds
BootOrder: 0003,0003,0002,0000,0004

    Test platform:

    • ASUS B85M-E
    • Intel Core i5-4590
    • 8GB RAM
    • SATA HDD min. 60GB
    • Samsung NVMe 970 EVO Plus 250GB in PCIe NVMe M.2 adapter
    • modded bios 3602 > Link

    How:

    • connect both SATA and NVMe disks to motherboard
    • using diskpart from the Win10 installer (legacy boot), divide the SATA disk into two primary partitions 100MB + active 20GB
    • using diskpart from the Win10 installer (legacy boot), divide the NVMe disk into three primary partitions 100MB active + 20GB + 182GB + unallocated
    • install WinXP PRO SP2 on SATA drive in Legacy (CSM) + SATA IDE mode
    • install all drivers and SATA AHCI by Fernando (reboot to bios and change SATA to AHCI)
    • turn off Indexing Service on all NTFS partitions
    • disable pagefile
    • disable System Restore
    • disable prefetch: 
      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]
"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000000
    • extract storport.sys from WindowsServer2003-KB943545-x86-ENU.exe - in CMD use /x switch
      copy file storport.sys 5.2.3790.4173 from SP2QFE to %windir%\system32\drivers
    • install NVMe 1.3 Kai Schtrom driver
    • format 100MB partition as FAT32 and copy bootmgr with Longhorn Server 2008 16497 for this partition
    • copy winload.exe with Longhorn Server 2008 16497 to %windir%\system32
    • replace %windir%\system32\drivers\acpi.sys file with a modified ACPI2.0_v4_x86+x64_5.1+5.2.7z acpi.sys 5.1.2600.7777.4
    • copy folder Boot (including BCD file and Fonts\wgl4_boot.ttf from Longhorn Server 2008 16497) to FAT32 partition
    • using BootICE edit BCD file in Professional mode - set ApplicationDevice and OSDevice:
      Boot disk: NVMe Samsung SSD 970
      Boot part: 1: (NTFS, 20.0 GB)
      7863564000_1666788631_thumb.jpg
    • using Acronis True Image 2021 make a system image (100MB and 20GB partitions) for a xp.tib file
    • using Acronis True Image 2021 restore a system from xp.tib (100MB and 20GB) to NVMe disk
    • boot PC in Legacy mode from NVMe disk - when WinXP boot and menu appear select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement (there is an option in BCD that causes an Advanced Menu to always display)

    XP Pro x64 OS Boot NVMe

    in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition

    Posted · Edited by reboot12

    I did a new UEFI test. If we put Samsung 950 UEFI firmware in this way:

    • Unpack UEFI firmware from the image.rom file:
      uefiromextract image.rom 950nvme.efi
    • Build a FFS file using FFS tools:
      GenMod 950nvme.efi
      wild build a file 950nvme.ffs
    • Use UEFITool insert file 950nvme.ffs as a DXE driver

    In pure UEFI (CSM disabled) or UEFI + CSM, bios does not see the Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe disk and not possible boot OS !!!

    I'm trying to boot WinXP SP2 64-bit in Legacy mode:

    • ntldr - Error loading operating system
    • winload.exe + BCD from Longhorn Server 2008 - Error A5 Probably caused by: ACPI.sys (I checked it with WinDbg over Serial at betaarchive.com )

    @Dietmar

    I remember that there were once some modified acpi.sys WinXP 64-bit files on Winraid. Do you have these files?

    EDITED

    =====

    OK, I found them: ACPI2.0_v4_x86+x64_5.1+5.2.7z

    With this acpi.sys (5.2.3790.7777.4) WinXP SP2 64-bit boots without error using winload.exe.

    Under pure UEFI also start.

    I wonder if this modified acpi.sys file is stable and will not cause the system's incorrect operation?

    Does WinXP have to be on the FAT32 partition or can it be on NTFS? I'm trying to boot WinXP 64-bit in Legacy Mode from NTFS but I have Opening Hive File Failed!

    For cloning the AOMEI 7.0 tool is best

    Thanks, I will try but for now I used Acronis True Image 2021 because older versions do not see NVMe disk.

    • In WinXP SP2 64-bit launched from the SATA disk I added UEFI files and fix paths in BCD file
    • Using Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 I made a system image for a TIB file
    • Using Acronis True Image 2021 I restored the system from the TIB image to the NVMe disk
    • In the bios I disabled SATA and CSM and reboot

    WinXP SP2 64-bit without any problems boots with the NVMe disk in pure UEFI mode :thumbup :D

    What is needed:

    • Disk NVMe divided into partitions using diskpart from Win10 installer so that the first partition starts with the 2048 sector
      1989118100_1666256428_thumb.jpg
    • UefiSeven loader and EFI Files
    • KB932755 update
    • NVMe 1.3 driver from Schtrom
    • Turn off Indexing Service on all NTFS partitions
    • disable pagefile (have 8GB RAM)
    • disable System Restore
    • disable prefetch: 
      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]
"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000000
    • If we want to use the Internet, set the browser cache in RAM
    • The NVMe disk has 250GB but I left a 30GB unallocated at the end:

    @Dietmar

    I am at the stage:

    • using diskpart from the Win10 installer, I divided the NVMe disk into 100MB + 20GB + 182GB + unallocated partitions
    • I pulled out an adapter with a NVMe disk from the PCIe slot
    • I installed WinXP SP2 64-bit on SATA AHCI disk and all drivers on Legacy mode
    • I installed the WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB932755-x64-ENU.exe update
    • I turned off PC, I put PCIe adapter with NVMe disk Samsung and boot WinXP from SATA disk
    • I installed the NVMe driver Community NVMe 1.3 Storport Miniport by Schtrom

    Now WinXP SP2 64-bit sees a NVMe drive:

    9511015100_1666201617_thumb.jpg

    I copied UEFI files (also UefiSeven loader) on the SATA disk and WinXP boot OK under pure UEFI

    I copied to the 100MB FAT32 NVMe partition UEFI files with UEFI Shell (bootx64.efi) and a new UEFI option appeared in the bios (CSM disabled) and PC boot OK to UEFI Shell from NVMe disk

    3784015300_1666202490_thumb.jpg

    Now I have to somehow clone the partitions from the SATA disk to NVMe disk
