Thanks, I'll try it. I feel like I didn't express myself well with the BIOS update. What I mean is that when installing XP with the old BIOS version, ACPI was not installed by default and neither was it installed once the BIOS was updated. Unless I press F5 during the CD-ROM boot process and choose the correct HALL. Greetings

Thanks, now that I use that method I haven't had any problems again, well except for one. If I edit a post to change a URL, the new link preview deletes 2 or 3 paragraphs and I see no way to solve it, except by changing the address to which the original URL points. Be very careful with this, we can delete part of the written text if we don't pay attention and click on edit. I don't understand why so many changes in the forum that only cause problems and prevent old browsers from working.

I open this specific thread after having commented on it in this other one https://msfn.org/board/topic/186134-ntldr-is-missing-when-updating-the-bios/#comment-1264144 because the matter does not seem easy to resolve. Unlike Windows 2000, Windows XP does not have options to change the HAL in Device Manager. So to make a HAL change it is necessary to change the 2 kernel files (normal and PAE) and the HAL.dll library to the correct version. A while ago I mentioned how to do it https://msfn.org/board/topic/177962-activate-all-processor-cores-at-startup/?do=findComment&comment=1156790 and it works without problems from ACPI uniprocessor to ACPI-APIC uniprocessor or ACPI-APIC multiprocessor and vice versa. It also works if it is change from the previous ones to Standard PC (non-ACPI) and I think that in that case it is possible to return to the ACPI version. But not if the original Windows XP installation was done as Standard PC, the previous method does not work to switch to ACPI, since the BSOD 0x7B occurs. This website https://falconfour.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/how-to-switch-windows-xp-hal-_back_-from-standard-pc-to-acpi-the-clean-way/comment-page-1/ describes a method so that the option to change to HAL ACPI in Windows XP appears in the device manager in the Computer section, but the result is the same BSOD 0x7B. A possible solution would be to reinstall XP with the repair option but I have a volume OEM copy and the repair option does not come, so another parallel XP has been installed in C: but the new copy neither has ACPI installed. I am testing with an old motherboard with Slot 1 and 440BX chipset. After updating the BIOS, the Windows XP installation still does not set ACPI by default. When installing XP it is possible to choose the correct HAL when the installation CD during boot says "press F6 if you want to change the hard drive drivers", then by pressing F5 instead of F6 a menu appears after a few seconds to choose the HAL . Other way I have found to install ACPI on this computer is by pasting a system image with ACPI created from another computer, so it works without problems, If we have the knowledge of how to transfer XP installations images from one computer to another. I want to find a method to directly change the HAL from Standard PC to ACPI in the same XP installation and without reinstalling. I think the BSOD occurs because the ACPI drivers are missing: -ACPI fixed feature button. -ACPI power button. -Microsoft system compatible with ACPI So I would like to find a way to install these drivers or modify the registry so that ACPI works. I think that if those drivers are installed and the correct ACPI information is entered into the registry (for example by extracting it from another computer) the system would work. I still have to try the ACPI 2.0 method, I have to look at it calmly, I don't quite understand it so I don't know if this method would work. https://msfn.org/board/topic/183464-compiling-acpi-v20-driver-for-windows-xp-sp3-and-windows-2003-sp2-x32x64/

Have you tried the HAL "Standard Equip with C-Step i486"? If you press F5 when starting the Windows XP installation CD, when it says press F6 to install hard drive drivers, a menu appears after a few seconds to choose the HAL layer and one of the options is that, if press F5. I am not very clear if this HAL is for a review of Intel 80486 processors or refers to other processors.

Thanks @Tripredacus, I have tried to repair XP but I have a volume OEM copy and the repair option does not come, so another parallel XP has been installed in C: Now that I have the BIOS updated, the new copy neither has ACPI installed. The only new thing is that it has installed a tab called APM, but without any advantage. It neither suspends nor hibernates. Thanks @genieautravail, the only way I have found to install ACPI on this computer is by pasting a system image with ACPI created from another computer, so it works without problems. I am reading this method https://falconfour.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/how-to-switch-windows-xp-hal-_back_-from-standard-pc-to-acpi-the-clean-way/comment-page-1/ But the result is the same as the method that I have and that I published here. https://msfn.org/board/topic/177962-activate-all-processor-cores-at-startup/?do=findComment&comment=1156790 If Windows XP never had ACPI, when switching from Standard PC to ACPI so BSOD 0x7B occurs due to the drivers lack. If it go from ACPi to Standard PC and then from Standard PC to ACPI, there is no problem. I still have to try the ACPI 2.0 method, I have to look at it calmly, I don't quite understand it https://msfn.org/board/topic/183464-compiling-acpi-v20-driver-for-windows-xp-sp3-and-windows-2003-sp2-x32x64/ @Damnation with v7777 acpi.sys you were referring to this link? EDIT: I am opening a new post to address this specific issue. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186159-change-hal-from-standard-pc-to-acpi-pc/

REASON I think I have found the reason why the BIOS updates only supported hard drives aligned to 2048 and the error NTLDR is missing aligned to 63 occurred. And the cause is the usual one on slot 1 motherboards "a RAM memory bad contact". I was having more and more problems, hard drives when starting Windows that sometimes wouldn't read a file and finally the Windows CD-ROM said it wouldn't read a file when booting. Curiously, once Windows started, there were no problems, only files were missing from the boot. The BIOS said that I had 392 MiB RAM, but I removed and cleaned the SD-RAM modules and it turned out that I have 512 MiB RAM. Now the disks aligned to sector 63 are read, well except for a Seagate 40 GB that does not boot at either 63 or 2048. The funny thing is that it does boot if I first detect in the BIOS a Seagate with 20 GB and change the hard drive without updating information. In any case, the latest BIOS update v3.08 continues to cause several start attempts on all hard drives when resetting the system. Which v3.07 doesn't do. The problem is that only v3.08 supports hard drives with +32GB. In conclusion, this motherboard is very very problematic as a whole. Edit: To boot Windows from the Seagate 40 GB hard drive in Award BIOS, go to the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION option and detect it. Then go to the STANDARD CMOS SETUP option and change the "Mode" option from LBA to AUTO, if in the SECTOR column it marks 255, change the value to 63.

They gave me a double penalty for posting a link to a browser compatible with Windows 7 that supposedly had pirated content. They told me it was permanent, but now I don't see it on my profile. It doesn't let me put some links to the forum but it does let me put some links outside the forum I think.

I have inserted another hard drive with a XP portable with ACPI installed. Now, with the original BIOS old version the BSOD 0xA5 with the message "ACPI not fully supported" occurs, so I updated the BIOS and now the system boots correctly. So the computer is compatible with ACPI. On the original hard drive I think the problem is that the ACPI.sys driver is not installed. It does not appear in the XP boot process even though I have changed the HAL to ACPI. So I conclude that in a original Standard PC installation it is not possible to change to HAL ACPI. Do you know if there is a way to install ACPI.SYS on a Standard PC installation? (then I would change the HAL files)

I don't know if this message that appears in the post is correct. It seems that this board does not have APIC and that the IRQs are limited. The strange thing is that when I installed Windows XP it identified the board as "Standard PC" and not "ACPI PC". I try to install the HAL ACPI manually and the following blue screen occurs. I don't know if it affects the fact that when installing Windows XP the acpi .sys driver will not be installed and if now I have to install this driver manually in addition to the HAL.

I will try it. Currently I also have the problem that the system does not allow me to post links that link to the MSFN forum itself. I don't understand the reason and if it happens to anyone else.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I will look at it. Although this seems like it's for modern hardware, it's not my circumstance...

SOLVED It's a strange hard drive alignment problem. I have verified that the partition is active with WinPE. From this all the data on the hard drive is perfectly accessible. However, I have booted a CD with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home 8.1.1 and I see that it does not indicate any active partitions. When I click on the "Boot Active partition" option, MiniTool tells me that it could not find the Windows installation. It's weird, with the Windows installation CD I can log into repair mode. Then I clicked on MiniTool on the align partitions option. Now the partition has been aligned to LBA 2048. I don't remember how much this one was aligned to before, surely 63. When I rebooted the error persisted, but I clicked in the BIOS on the "IDE HDD Auto Detection" option and then Windows XP began to boot. It is a strange problem, also with the BIOS update the hard drives have a hard time being detected, when I restart these make noises trying to boot for several seconds, with the BIOS old version it does not happen. There is no problem if I start the computer directly, the problem is when resetting. In any case, updating the BIOS has not solved the problem I was trying to solve. ACPI does not work for me on Windows XP. The HAL installed is Standard PC and if I install the HAL with ACPI when XP starts up it gives me a blue screen. Updating the BIOS did not solve it.

What browser and version are you using? I have tried Chrome 109 and Fifrefox 110.10.0 ESR. I hit refresh the page and the written text disappears.

I am trying right now with the boot order, I am putting in the bios that starts with: C: D: E: F: And nothing, the result is the same. I am starting a virtual XP on CD-ROM, I am going to try to align the partition with Minitool Partition Wizard. Edit: Minitool Partition Wizard Free cannot be executed in Winpe. Paragon Alingnment Test says it is aligned. It is a IDE Hard Disk Maxtor with 10GB

Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. " The worst of all, is that after writing a long message with the phrase "Boot .ini" there is no possibility of recovering the message, everything written is erased forever . The problem also happens if I edit a post and in the edition I add or modify an URL link.

The hard disk drive appears in BIOS, contains a partition with XP and is in C: It seems that boot .ini is correct. I also have 2 more hard disks connected with data. I have tried to disconnect all secondary units and the problem persists.

I think the Windows XP starting sequence is as follows: 1 MBR Sector-> Pre-Boot 2 NTLDR -> C: (System Partition Root) -> Preboot & Boot 3 boot .ini -> c: -> boot 4 Bootsect .DOS -> C: -> Boot (optional) 5 NTDETECT .com -> C: -> BOOT 6 NTBOOTDD .SYS -> C: -> Boot (optional) 7 ntoskrnl .exe -> Systemrootsystem32 -> kernel load 8 hal .dll -> Systemrootsystem32 -> kernel load 9 System -> Systemrootsystem32 -> Kernel initialization 10 devices .sys -> SystemroSystem32Drivers -> Kernel initialization I have applied the Fixboot & Fixmbr commands from a Windows 2003 start CD to try to solve the problem. Now the message "NTLDR is missing press key to continue" appears in English. Apparently the message is set in the MBR sector. If I execute the commands from the XP CD in Spanish, then the message reappears in Spanish. So the hard drive is detected, but not the operating system Pre-Boot file, NTLDR. If the hard drive was not detected, the BIOS put the message "Operating system is missing" I think there is an incompatibility between the BIOS version and this hard drive. Perhaps the hard drive is not in very good condition and the update has a feature that makes it fail.

If it is partitioned with a 2 TB limit, do you have problems? For example, 4 TB hard drive divided into 2 partitions.

I have a pretty old computer saved many years in the closet that I had to take out to perform some tests. It has the I440BX chip (20th century) and Windows XP. The last time I tried to update the BIOS I looked for an updated version based on the motherboard name, but when trying to flash it I gave me the error "The program files part number does not match with your system". Desperate I flash it equally the surprise is that this works, but when restarting the message "NTLDR is missing press key to continue" appears to me. So I returned to the previous BIOS version and the problem disappeared. Now, in 2024 I have learned that the BIOS updated version is not sought by the motherboard name. This must be sought by the motherboard identification name that give programs such as Aida64, since I do not download a BIOS version for a motherboard review that is not admitted. So I have installed the BIOS correct version. The surprise is that the message also appears to me "NTLDR is missing press key to continue". And if I return to the previous version of the BIOS it works correctly. Any idea what reason is it? The strange thing is that the message appears in Spanish, when the BIOS is in English. How is it possible? Is it in any way detecting that Windows XP is in Spanish? I have tried other hard drives and they do work, the problem only happens with the installed hard drive.

The forum is not letting me put some links, fortunately write yes I can. Nor does it let me edit if I add new links. It was good to correct it.

This version is older than "Paragon HFS for Win v.10.5.0.95", the MAC system reader, also installs GPT on Windows XP with drivers updated to version 10.5.0.95 and seems to fix many issues from the previous version. I didn't know about this one, thanks. What version is build based?

I will tell you a little about the experience that I have had in recent months with this MBR data disk connected by USB. The partitions on the 5TB hard drive have remained unchanged: 1- Primary NTFS --> 1.31 TiB --> Cluster 8 KiB 2- Primary exFAT ---> 1.17 TiB ---> Cluster 8 KiB 3- Primary FAT32 --> 91.2 GiB ---> Cluster 8 KiB 4- Extended FAT32 ---> 683 GiB ---> Cluster 16 KiB 5- Extended FAT32 ---> 289 GiB ---> Cluster 32 KiB 6- Extended FAT32 ---> 937 GiB ---> Cluster 32 KiB I have worked with 4 operating systems, Windows 2000-XP-Seven-10 For the first month I was continually copying and pasting files into the exFAT partition and unzipping and compressing ZIP files. I mainly used Windows XP and Windows Seven, but more Windows Seven. The problems in this exFAT partition were continuous, the errors that I had read in an article that criticized this file system were reproduced. Suddenly files and folders were missing for no reason, changing the exFAT partition to read-only mode and I had to recover the files with CHKDSK. On more than one occasion, Windows Seven and 10's CHKDSK were unable to repair the file system, issuing an error that said something like "unable to repair." Surprisingly, the solution was to use Windows XP's CHKDSK, then everything worked again. Without being so serious, file system errors also frequently happened to me on the NTFS partition. Furthermore, the exFAT partition suddenly disappeared several times, and the only method to recover it, without a copy of the partition table, was the DiskGenius program. Undoubtedly at that moment I was thinking about converting the exFAT partition to FAT32 and saving myself from problems. I also doubted whether it had been a good idea to format the NTFS partition with an 8 KiB cluster, since I could not find an explanation for the errors. Subsequently, I spent a couple of months experimenting with all the disk defragmentation programs, testing all the partitions with them. The file disappearance errors continued when copying and pasting files, but not in the defragmentation process. I left the defragmenters theme and started working on other themes. Weeks and months passed and then I realized that I have not problems again, neither with the NTFS partition nor with the exFAT partition, I continue copying and pasting files, but not in such quantity as at the beginning. I did not have any problems with FAT32 partitions, of course. I have read a solution to have these files larger than 4 GiB. I don't know if I'll dare to try it. I see that there are more systems than I thought, FAT32+, FAT32x...

Years ago I found that Windows Seven was not capable of reading MBR disks larger than 2 TB, while Windows 2000-XP and Linux distributions from 2009 onwards were capable. I don't remember which Windows Seven version I installed, whether it came with Service Pack 1 or not. I think that this one did not have it and that the problem was solved with Service Pack 1 . Windows 10 reads +2TB MBR hard drives without problems. Regarding the GPT +2TB disks, I have not experimented with them again, in my last comments I reported problems such as that the 6 TB disk was not read by USB adapters if it was formatted with SATA and it was not read by SATA if it was formatted with USB. Furthermore, the partitions on the 6 TB GPT hard drive were not read by XP if these were formatted with the Windows 10 disk manager, but these were read by XP if these were defragmented in Windows 10 with third-party tools. https://msfn.org/board/topic/181911-read-gpt-hard-disk-on-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1251210 And here the culprit that will not dedicate my time to anything else, the different disk defragmentation utilities have so many differences from each other that researching them took me several months. Then I got involved with something else, of course... The fact is that during this time I have worked with MBR on a 5 TB hard drive so as not to have problems, although it also has a specific post about problems. Regarding the sector and cluster size, here we have the @jaclaz's final statements https://msfn.org/board/topic/184904-problems-with-mbr-hard-disk-5-tb/ So I have not experimented with GPT again and I seem to read that the conclusion you reached is that GPT in XP cannot work with partitions larger than 2 TiB. Is this so? Can you confirm it or is it pending further verification? What file system do you format the partitions? @Dave-H Apart from the MBR sector size physical limits, depending on whether the hard drive is 512 bytes or 4096 bytes, there are cluster limits directly related to the FAT32 and exFAT formats. These tables indicate the cluster limits provided by MiniTool Partition Wizard. Which seem about right for a hard drive with a 4096 bytes sector size on MBR. I assume that these limits are also applicable to GPT hard drives. FAT32 PARTITION LIMITS (format with MiniTool Partition Wizard) Cluster 4 KiB = 0.29 TiB / 300.99 GiB / 308213.76 MiB Cluster 8 KiB = 0.58 TiB / 600.99 GiB / 615413.76 MiB Cluster 16 KiB = 1.17 TiB / 1203.99 GiB / 1232885.76 MiB Cluster 32 KiB = 2.35 TiB / 2407.99 GiB / 2465781.76 MiB Cluster 64 KiB = 4.70 TiB / 4815.99 GiB / 4931573.76 MiB Cluster 128 KiB = 9.40 TiB / 9631,99 GiB / 9863157,76 MiB Cluster 256 KiB = 18.81 TiB / 19263,99 GiB / 19726325,76 MiB *Just I exceeds only 3.4 GiB the limit for cluster 16 KiB and problems arose. *Values from cluster 64 kib are not given by MiniTool, these have been calculated by the previous amounts and I have not verified their correct operation. *You have to take into account the limits punctured by @jaclaz for the maximum partition size of 16 TiB with sectors of 4096 bytes and 2 TiB for 512 bytes sectors. (real calculation 15,9999999962747097015380859375 TiB & 1,9999999995343387126922607421875 TiB) exFAT PARTITION LIMITS (format with MiniTool Partition Wizard) Cluster 4 KiB = 1.00 TiB / 1025.00 GiB / 1049610.24 MiB Cluster 8 KiB = 2.00 TiB / 2049.00 GiB / 2098176.00 MiB Cluster 16 KiB = 4.00 TiB / 4097.00 GiB / 4195328.00 MiB Cluster 32 KiB = 8.00 TiB / 8193.00 GiB / 8390656.00 MiB Cluster 64 KiB = 16.00 TiB / 16385.00 GiB / 16779264.00 MiB Cluster 128 KiB = 32.00 TiB / 32769.00 GiB / 33556480.00 MiB Cluster 256 KiB = 64.00 TiB / 65537.00 GiB / 67110912.00 MiB ...and so on to cluster 32768 KiB (32 MiB) = 8192 TiB *Values from cluster 32 KiB are not given by MiniTool, these have been calculated by the previous amounts and I have not verified their correct operation.

Hello, I have a group of collaborators in Telegram to whom I have proposed a Google form as a method to collect the personal data of each one, without greater technical claim. I think it is easy to manage and free of charge is the best option. However, among non -expert people I have found the opposition to use the tool because it is from Google. It seems that there is a fear that Google can take the data and sell them. I am not in favor of using Google tools that give problems such as Play Store or Google Services, but in this case I value that it is the best option and that the data is protected by law. I even think there is less possibility that the data is stolen from Google than to other online forms. Do you see it in the same way? Would you recommend another online form, simple, free and easy to manage? They are asking if there are forms on free web pages made with open source. I believe that this does not exist and if it exists it would be totally insecure, but just in case I ask. I don't want to make a website and create my own database. Thank you.
