I tried this tutorial: https://petri.com/change_system_drive_letter_in_windows_xp - im quite sure that changed rights drive letters, but after boot i got only: Windows could not start because the following files is misisng or corrupt: \Windows\System\Config\System i did mess with registry, except change of these letter from live install.. just changed two letters.. True is that this machine is not totally proven, it could have some memory or disk issues, i got 2 strange freezes (but i also completed 2 installs fines) and im using IDE to Sata adapter, memtest was fine, coolers and PSU are overdimmensed, but its 20 years old board. I checked how much things was installed, fortunately not too much, so in this case it did reinstall. Its too late for now, but should i after such operation change something in boot.ini or is not needed so, problem has to be elsewhere?

I would like that life in age when are developers good enough to have installers which would clean leftovers - it was Win98 / XP thing, if thing that NVME has some installer it has not its just inf and couple of files. That ControlSet2 - could be my old backup, or just created by some tool.. if not part MS scheme, we can ignore it. Which control set is used i will post later. So far no clues, so my guess is that problem could be in 2 things: - Installation of driver was somehow botched. I dunno if code could be error of installation, or its error of drivers start => installation has be completed successfully. - Installation ended fine, but service is not starting for some reason. I checked working install here is service is state of running, on not working is stopped - through service manager - i can start it, but it dont simply fix code 10 on devices - i guess that because of Start type of service is boot, it has to be running fine as part of start up. I never know too much about this, but some services, needed some other services to run, be above to run properly, maybe this is good place to start. I also said that debug sucks, what is true, but its true that i never checked Event log, its only tool which i know for such things, but would except that there would be much more tools, which i simply dont know. Or and current and default controlSet is 7, BTW is there way and its good idea delete some one them and make it number 1? There is second NVME driver which i need to uninstall what is the proper way? https://www.dropbox.com/s/nb7migik7lolr3k/Storport_NVME Daniel.7z?dl=0

I hard to find something, if i dont know for what im looking. Maybe this registry output will help: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x3ad46o0tsg3i46/Reg.7z?dl=0 O guess that there should be anything secret it control sets, so i can export you more of registry if it will help. Some with other reports, if you want to now more about my machine.. Used controlset is default no value set, what means i guess number 1. I dont know that is rule to create new control set, it could be something quite normal, or not means anything too bad. Installation is very old really tuned, it remember lots of hardware, but i cleaned it quite well and its still ruling, because im everytime learning more about it and how to fix things. I heard that argument reainstall it lots of time, but in 95% of problems, im able to fix it and it has to do nothing to do with exact problem. I tried some reinstalls in the past.. i will never have enough time, knowledge and good enough memory etc, to do same setup - its for life, i even visualized this install couple of times, but until we will have good virtualized 3D driver for XP, or KVM on Windows or i will migrate to Linux, i have to keep it now physical HW. BTW here is main issue is not my install but that Windows device installation or initialization has not proper trace or logging, its miracle that MS could live with it until today - because of that there is lots of shady guides how to solve one problem, because error message usually can mean much more things that for other programs.. . There should be some way to know why that magic generic error actually happened.. and after would make sense to discuss if this something which is really hard to solve..

I "love" Virtual machine leftovers.. I have no patch for whole string: ClassGUID={4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} but for 4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 i have lots of hits and lots of them are ClassGUID values. I guess that important are in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\XP-Install\ControlSet001\Enum\PCI\VEN_1B4B&DEV_9172&SUBSYS_B0001458&REV_11\4&35ef6156&0&00E7, ClassGUID, {4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} - im opening registry from other Windows instance. Other control set, i could probably ignore. I dunno what exactly is CurrentControlSet2? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\XP-Install\CurrentControlSet2\Control\Class\{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} ? I see them as part of all installed Storage devices, as virtual cd drivers and sata controllers - these are working fine. There are: ClassGUID - {4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Driver {4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0003 Thre is no UpperFilter item, anything about Vmware etc., what i have to search for or do next? Here is registry keys report (just download it and open as html - Dropbox is not clever enough): https://www.dropbox.com/s/l6iacufvpa1tors/rwf8A1F.html?dl=0

Ok service is here, is running i dont now. Service manager show it : C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\nvme.sys Start type - is boot, in service.msc is not, probably as other Hardware based ones. When i check device manager hidden devices nvme is not here. Update: Ok it is its probaly using different name is see there: secnvme device. No, as far i know its only for Win 2k3, clean was from some update image. Secnvme was from other driver, which i tried, i removed it.. and checked worked instance, there is no hidden device manager device. But im still getting same error.

I not working NVME driver for WinXP - yeah it exists: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nvme-for-windows-2003-server/ I made it working with clean install, but i have problem to make it working with my tuned install. Does someone here understand *.inf files? Only known difference working install is that is english Win XP SP3 and not working in Non English (Czech). Inf file dont looks complex, but there are some localization things. Its possible to simply discover which files are needed for installation? I could try to copy them from install here its working. If understand it correctly: 1) it using Nvme86.cat + Nvme.sys which are part of installation package. 2) After that there are add some logging with System32\IoLogMsg.dll - i have this file in my system. 3) add its creating couple of registry keys.. - there could be problem that key is not existing or with permission. I guess that there is now any tool which would just print in which step of inf file processing problem happens? nvme.inf

Thanks solved, i find out that there should left kbdclass in the key.

Sorry, but on more claricifation. Only modify and let it blank (no value) or remove whole UpperFilters item?

How extractly? I see some parent key like: {4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Should i just remove whole parent key, or just UpperFilters with value item?

Hi, i have strange problem. I found out that i have some Vmware leftovers -vmkbd.sys , problem is when i remove it, i cant log into machine, but i had other issues. Setup Win XP SP3 with PS/2 mouse + keyboard and USB mouse + keyboard - all wired, 4 devices. Problem is when i remove Vmware driver - on logon screen only PS/2 mouse is working, until i press PS/2 keyboard key, after that it freeze. With Vmware driver installed, all PS/2 devices are working + USB keyboard is working, USB mouse is not working for some reason. Other issue is thas control panel - keyboard and mouse are not just starting, any other panels are ok, no input freezes within session etc, so its software problem. I tried other clean XP install, same USB drivers, no Vmware and all devices are working fine. When i moved machine to Vmware for test, i had only keyboard, no mouse until Vmware tools installed - i dont thing that is normal behavior. Any ideas, what could be wrong and how to solve it?

Nice - it has nice up / down buttons, thanks, i always used it only for UEFI stuff.

Hello, im searching some visual tool to mess with bcd boot files. I now VisualBCD, but i dunno how to change default entry, maybe someone know how to.. or now other tool for it. My vanilla bcdedit experience is not good.

I fixed, it was for some reason detected as PS/2 Scroll mouse (it has scroll whell), when i force just PS/2 mouse driver, it got working, include scroll wheel.

Possibility of choice best thing it the life.. Im donging too many thing on too many platforms, to be obsessed to do everything low level myself. I just want to be user, not admin. For me tool would have higher value and even economy will work better.. tool could be developed by people which actually want to do it low level and can invest more time to cover some corner cases.. and with such tool i would be able to make it next time quicker without re-reading guides and making and searching some my years old flawed notes etc.

Well im not robot, so lots of oportunities to make mistake, even if wouldnt be lazy to lowlevel things.. there has to be some tool to do all of it at once, or at least change letter and enable log in to.. registry keys and some other text files, i can fix by the hand. I just checked Paragon it has such option, but at least old version (im doing it on retro PIII machine) not working well, i cant boot.. and it freeze at log screen or right it after, so there has to be something else. Otherwise i would rather make reinstall. Is there some proven tool to hide partitions? im not have Linux yet on this machine (grub has that virtual replacing partition numbers) So i would need to hidden some partitions before install to make new install C, or i would have to install all in virtual machine and copy installation.

Thanks, i checked all the links, but its lots of manual work, i did it the past through some simple procedure, i dont remember details system was still stable and errors where only minotr. There has to be some tool for it, maybe some Paragon tools. I thing that i also so something like it in some version of Partition magic, but im not sure if it would be possible from boot cd. I remember that i was fixing patches with Registry desktop because there is replace all possibility and there also has to be some tool to just search and replace all string in all files some.. if you will just search for X: and replace it with C:

Thanks, i will try it. There is some detailed info to these: http://www.mdgx.com/msdos.htm

Sorry i forgot add negative word - its not moving, its simply dead..

No, mouse is just old Logitech one.

Thanks, i will try it, it look like XP+ Plus, any experience with Windows 2000? XP is booting thanks, do you think that make sense to try WinXP fix for Win2000? For Win2000 it's giving error 0xc000007b, too. It's working for Windows 2000, too.

Hello, i need port my Win 2000 and XP installation from Super Socket 7 machine to Pentium III machinem. Im used to use for it Paragon WinPE tools, where is just option to Adjust for new HW, where some generic MS drivers are used instead of specific ones and i can boot on new HW. Problem is that HW is probably too old to make it working with my Paragon WinPE cds, i can only boot Linux based and there is not HW adjust option. Win based boot cds, im getting this error: CDboot: Cannot boot from CD- Code: 5 So i would need other tool. I cant even boot to Safe mode, because of some Super Socket 7 ATA drivers.. so im getting bluescreens. I have quite configured system, so i dont want to complete reinstalls.

Hello, i have problem with Gigabyte Z370 MB, PS/2 mouse its not working in Win10 (1909), in Win7, WinXP Linux is working.. PS/2 keyboard its working, im using PS2 to 2x PS/2 combo cable. In device manager i see PS/2 mouse, but cursor is not moving. USB3 mouse - Razer is working fine. When i remove it, about reboot its back. I tried this: https://hitech-us.com/articles/entry/303/PS/2-mouse-is-not-working-on-Windows-10 // No change. Any ideas?

Thanks, did you tested them personally?

Hello, im searching for Intel USB3 for Z370 i hoped that it would be easy as for Z370, but it seems that Intel is trying to cut off even Windows 7. Hardware ID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A36D&SUBSYS_50071458&REV_10

Hello, i migrated fine from Z97 to Z390 with on Windows 7 64 bit, i only have one unknown musing driver Hardware id is ACPI\PNP0000, does someone now what it is and have some driver or null driver for it?
