Well, i managed get XP working, but i still didnt find Intel USB3 drivers for XP, these probably dont exist.

Hello again, so i bought MSI Z97 Gaming 7 board + Broadwell 5675C with both ASmedia / Intel SATA /USB3 controllers: http://msi.com/product/mb/Z97-GAMING-7.html#hero-specification I have 10 year old XP isntalation, still working i have changed lots of mother boards and devices without clean install - im using some utlis using function sysprep - now im using Paragon 2015 premium and P2P (Physical to Physical) adjust. Yesterday i checked that XP could work on such mainboard and with old installation, my old XP installation booted - after - i used Paragon P2P (with importing some drivers from board drivers cd, i dont know exactly which ones), but after that i did something wrong (clean up old drivers and installed new one) and something goes wrong and even - safe mode not working. XP working state was this - i booted from Asmedia Sata controller, both ports for 2 internals HDD worked, but Sata DVD writer on Intel port i didnt worked. Some controller driver was missing, SMbus driver was missing and intel USB driver was probably missing. So i recovered old XP partition image and trying to make it boot again - boot screen, but something is wrong - probably i did something a bit different, but what? Between trying im not aware to change any Bios settins - im still using all USB 2 and 3 setting on - also EHCI a XHCI and HDD are in AHCI mode. I would like to inject all drivers from above post through P2P into system, but when i trying, Paragon saying that those inf files arent for XP, but for other OS - so probably Bluebolt linked wrong drivers, i have also big problem to select proper driver from fernando - there are zillions links and once again, Paragon - setting that inf is wrong or i should manualy select exact controller type. Would be nice if someone could post exact link. Regarding of Aida controllers should be these: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2741044/JakyStorageChipsetTamJe.png

I know that Intel dont support Xp since X8x, but this is why im asking for real experience, i there is some work around. I dont care about iGPU, USB3 would be nice.

Hello, i would like know, if someone tested install Windows on Intel x9x and x8x chipset? For these are official XP drivers.. but i would like to know, if Xp is working with default drivers and how much paint it means. Main problem i see i disk controllers and disk speed, but i have found some MSI board with additional Sata Asmedia controller - with WIndows XP drivers (Z97 GAMING 7), so theoretically speaking it could work. I but i would like to know some real life experience before im would spend 500 buck for new MB and processor and spend few hours with components replacing.

Hello, im trying 4CoreDual-VSTA http://www.asrock.com/mb/VIA/4CoreDual-VSTA/. Its working, i have only problem with integrated sound card driver, which i didnt find. Other problem is external Geforce 7600GS AGP 256 MB card, im unable to make card working. Drivers - i still have some non working PCI bus device in Device manager, but otherwise, everything working.
