@Comos I used to have a dilemma with a pagefile. When I had 1GB of RAM, I set 320MB. Now when I have 4GB or 8GB RAM, I turn off the pagefile completely.

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: 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?

I got 1920x1080 in Win95 from the Matrox G450 PCI card on the LG 22MT44DP monitor via the VGA-VGA cable

If the graphics card does not have a GOP, you can add it to the bios of the motherboard: https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=471154#p471154

@DrunkenTanker extract archive ASUS_VA247_WHQL_Driver.zip delete file ASUS VA247.inf and copy my modded file ASUS VA247_xp.inf right-click on the Desktop and select Properties Settings tab > Advanced button > Monitor tab > Properties button > Driver tab > Update driver button > select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) > select Don't search. I will choose the driver to install. > Next button > Have disk button > Browse button > open file ASUS VA247_xp.inf The monitor driver can also be built using the Monitor Asset Manager tool. From menu File select Create INF...

Nothing needs to be changed only the author of the topic must learn how to install drivers.

Just remove a few lines and change: DefaultDestDir=11 to DefaultDestDir=12 in the ASUS VA247.inf file for Win7 (ASUS_VA247_WHQL_Driver.zip): ASUS VA247_xp.inf

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

@George King 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 Boot0000* CD/DVD Drive BIOS(3,0,00) Boot0001* Hard Drive BIOS(2,0,00) Boot0002* Gentoo HD(1,800,61800,6d98f360-cb3e-4727-8fed-5ce0c040365d)File(\EFI\boot\bootx64.efi) Boot0003* Hard Drive BIOS(2,0,00)P0: ST1500DM003-9YN16G Under UEFI Shell: dmpstore Boot* Dump Variable Boot* Variable NV+RT+BS 'Efi:Boot0002' DataSize = 5F 00000000: 01 00 00 40 41 00 45 00-46 00 49 00 20 00 4E 00 *...@A.E.F.I. .N.* 00000010: 65 00 74 00 77 00 6F 00-72 00 6B 00 00 00 02 01 *e.t.w.o.r.k.....* 00000020: 0C 00 D0 41 03 0A 00 00-00 00 01 01 06 00 00 11 *...A............* 00000030: 01 01 06 00 00 00 03 0B-25 00 00 0C 29 80 4C 58 *........%...).LX* 00000040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 *................* 00000050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 7F FF 04 00 *...............* Variable NV+RT+BS 'Efi:Boot0003' DataSize = 3E 00000000: 01 00 00 40 22 00 45 00-46 00 49 00 20 00 46 00 *...@".E.F.I. .F.* 00000010: 6C 00 6F 00 70 00 70 00-79 00 00 00 02 01 0C 00 *l.o.p.p.y.......* 00000020: D0 41 03 0A 00 00 00 00-01 01 06 00 00 07 02 01 *.A..............* 00000030: 0C 00 D0 41 04 06 00 00-00 00 7F FF 04 00 *...A..........* Variable NV+RT+BS 'Efi:Boot0000' DataSize = 7C 00000000: 01 00 00 40 24 00 45 00-46 00 49 00 20 00 56 00 *...@$.E.F.I. .V.* 00000010: 4D 00 77 00 61 00 72 00-65 00 20 00 56 00 69 00 *M.w.a.r.e. .V.i.* 00000020: 72 00 74 00 75 00 61 00-6C 00 20 00 53 00 43 00 *r.t.u.a.l. .S.C.* 00000030: 53 00 49 00 20 00 48 00-61 00 72 00 64 00 20 00 *S.I. .H.a.r.d. .* 00000040: 44 00 72 00 69 00 76 00-65 00 20 00 28 00 30 00 *D.r.i.v.e. .(.0.* 00000050: 2E 00 30 00 29 00 00 00-02 01 0C 00 D0 41 03 0A *..0.)........A..* 00000060: 00 00 00 00 01 01 06 00-00 15 01 01 06 00 00 00 *................* 00000070: 03 02 08 00 00 00 00 00-7F FF 04 00 *............* Variable NV+RT+BS 'Efi:Boot0004' DataSize = 7E 00000000: 01 00 00 40 1E 00 45 00-46 00 49 00 20 00 56 00 *...@..E.F.I. .V.* 00000010: 4D 00 77 00 61 00 72 00-65 00 20 00 56 00 69 00 *M.w.a.r.e. .V.i.* 00000020: 72 00 74 00 75 00 61 00-6C 00 20 00 49 00 44 00 *r.t.u.a.l. .I.D.* 00000030: 45 00 20 00 43 00 44 00-52 00 4F 00 4D 00 20 00 *E. .C.D.R.O.M. .* 00000040: 44 00 72 00 69 00 76 00-65 00 20 00 28 00 49 00 *D.r.i.v.e. .(.I.* 00000050: 44 00 45 00 20 00 30 00-3A 00 30 00 29 00 00 00 *D.E. .0.:.0.)...* 00000060: 02 01 0C 00 D0 41 03 0A-00 00 00 00 01 01 06 00 *.....A..........* 00000070: 01 07 03 01 08 00 00 00-00 00 7F FF 04 00 *..............* Variable NV+RT+BS 'Efi:Boot0005' DataSize = 86 00000000: 01 00 00 40 30 00 45 00-46 00 49 00 20 00 49 00 *...@0.E.F.I. .I.* 00000010: 6E 00 74 00 65 00 72 00-6E 00 61 00 6C 00 20 00 *n.t.e.r.n.a.l. .* 00000020: 53 00 68 00 65 00 6C 00-6C 00 20 00 28 00 55 00 *S.h.e.l.l. .(.U.* 00000030: 6E 00 73 00 75 00 70 00-70 00 6F 00 72 00 74 00 *n.s.u.p.p.o.r.t.* 00000040: 65 00 64 00 20 00 6F 00-70 00 74 00 69 00 6F 00 *e.d. .o.p.t.i.o.* 00000050: 6E 00 29 00 00 00 01 03-18 00 0B 00 00 00 00 B0 *n.).............* 00000060: 73 1E 00 00 00 00 FF 8F-BA 1E 00 00 00 00 04 06 *s...............* 00000070: 14 00 B7 D6 7A C5 15 05-A8 40 9D 21 55 16 52 85 *....z....@.!U.R.* 00000080: 4E 37 7F FF 04 00 *N7....* Variable RT+BS 'Efi:BootOptionSupport' DataSize = 4 00000000: 03 03 00 00 *....* Variable NV+RT+BS 'Efi:BootOrder' DataSize = A 00000000: 02 00 03 00 00 00 04 00-05 00 *..........* Variable RT+BS 'Efi:BootCurrent' DataSize = 2 00000000: 05 00 *..* Under Win7 or newer with BootICE 1.3.3.2 > UEFI tab: http://reboot.pro/uploads/monthly_12_2019/post-62763-0-92463200-1576988228.png If we follow mem command in UEFI Shell, it shows the addresses of Runtime Services, Boot Services: Valid EFI Header at Address 000000001FB77018 -------------------------------------------- System: Table Structure size 00000078 revision 0002001F ConIn (1F061298) ConOut (1DE10C18) StdErr (1F05CD98) Console Out on PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x7,0x0)/Floppy(0x0)/\/mem.log Runtime Services 000000001FB77B98 Boot Services 000000001FFD4410 ACPI 2.0 Table 000000001DDDC000 SMBIOS Table 000000001FB95000 After boot WinXP 64-bit under UEFI, these tables are still in memory, only the system has no access to them.

@Damnation SLIC ToolKit V3.2 shows something about ACPI version and you can extract ACPI tables in it:

Is there any way to check the ACPI version supported by the motherboard, e.g. using some program in Linux or Windows? Some motherboards, e.g. ASUS P5B-VM DO, have in the bios the ability to set the ACPI version:

Does anyone know any program that adds Copy to and change the name to the context menu in WinXP ?

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 !!!

Thanks but WinXP SP2 64-bit I will use with original acpi.sys in pure UEFI mode

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!

OK, I understand. I will play and test WinXP 64-bit booting in Legacy mode.

Only is the speed of the disk operation is ok?

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 What is needed: Disk NVMe divided into partitions using diskpart from Win10 installer so that the first partition starts with the 2048 sector 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: 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 Now I have to somehow clone the partitions from the SATA disk to NVMe disk
