  1. Hello, I am trying to install Windows Vista on my MSI GF63 Thin. I have an NVME SSD and can't find any universal drivers for them. Would the drivers found in @George King's XP2ESD pack work? Also, how do I integrate the drivers into the Vista ISO?
  2. I tried another Windows 2000 ISO which had SATA drivers integrated into it. I installed with WinNTSetup and got past "Setup is starting Windows 2000" when pressing F7, but keyboard didn't work at all. I get the following error: "The following value in the -SIF file used by Setup corrupted or missing: Value 1 on line 0 in section [Keyboard] Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup. press F3." I can't turn on legacy keyboard emulation because my BIOS doesn't give an option for that and the laptop is too new. How do I get around this?
  3. Hi, I am wanting to install Windows 2000 on a Dell Latitude 5490, a Kaby Lake machine. I've installed XP with XP2ESD 1.7 by @George King, and Windows Vista and Windows 7 on that laptop. And before anyone says it, no, I am not going to use a VM. And also, the legacy internal boot wouldn't be a problem, as even though it isn't supported, I can use something like WinSetupfromUSB to get around it as legacy external boot is supported. What would I need to do to get 2000 running on the Dell? The laptop has no CD drive, so I would have to install with USB. I have a SATA m2 SSD and USB 3.0. Also, @George King ported the Windows 8 drivers to Windows XP for AHCI and USB 3.0 in the XP2ESD pack, would they work on 2000? And how would I get ACPI working on 2000?
  4. I wrote an article on this! See here: .
  5. Hi, Is there a way to boot BIOS/CSM on a UEFI Class 3 device such as flashing it with SeaBIOS or an app that emulates CSM/BIOS? And no, using a VM is not possible.
  6. I don’t think so. If there is a way, I am not sure how to do it.
  7. If you want to use the card, you can dual boot 10 x86 and x64 and use it on 10 x86.
  8. No it isn’t possible. You have to switch to 10 x86 to use it or get a USB wireless adapter.
  9. I’ve gotten 2000 to work with InsydeH2O BIOS with that ISO.
  10. It should work given you follow the instructions. However, stuff like the graphics driver and the WiFi driver will not worked and those need to be replaced. There should be a graphics driver for Windows 7 on SP3 (Intel HD Graphics 4400), but I don't know about the WiFi card.
  11. I have tried this but have gotten better results with the method I used to install 7 on the SP1.
  12. I went on Safe Mode and found out it crashed on amd_ahci.sys. I then deleted it in the registry. When I booted it again, it still gave me a BSOD, both with Driver Signature Enforcement on and without it on. I booted it back into Safe Mode and found out it was crashing on crcdisk.sys.
  13. I got past that error on the Surface Pro 1 by deleting rcraid.sys in the registry. However, when I try to boot Windows XP x64 with Driver Signature Enforcement off, it gives me a BSOD. However, I am unable to read it, it appears as a red bar above the "Starting Windows Vista" boot screen.
  14. I fixed it by deleting rcraid.sys in the registry. However, it hangs on "Starting Windows Vista". I have heard that this is fixed by installing graphics drivers, which worked for me in the past.
  15. I just discovered your article. You are trying to install Windows Vista on Post-Ivy Bridge hardware. Vista, specifically x64, tends to have weird glitches on post-Ivy Bridge hardware, such as certain services not starting automatically. It is possible to install Vista on UEFI Class 3, as you already know I have done, but the Surface Pro 1 I used was pre-Haswell. I don't recommend using UEFISeven, from my personal experience, FlashBootPro EFI files would work better. Like stated before, @George King on MyDigitalLife has made a program called XP2ESD, download that, and in the apps folder, copy the efi folder in the FlashBootPro to your EFI partition, while keeping the BCD file. You also must have a SATA AHCI hard drive. If you don't, you will have to integrate NVME drivers into the ISO.
  16. You don't need FlashBootPro itself, just the EFI files. Download XP2ESD by @George King, and look in the "apps" folder.
  17. I actually forgot to change the instructions lol. You don't need to do that. After you have deployed Windows Vista, do the bcdboot command and add the FlashBootPro files. Then restart.
  18. Yes, it should work. I installed Windows 2000 on a Dell Inspiron 15R-5537 (Haswell), and @Illen got NT 3.51 on a Skylake machine. You will either have to turn on ATA/IDE emulation for SATA, or integrate your own SATA drivers, which is what I did.
  19. If you are trying to install Vista on a Surface Pro or UEFI-only machine, this tutorial is for you. This tutorial shows you how to install Windows Vista on a Surface Pro. This tutorial is meant for the Surface Pro 1, but could work on any other UEFI-only device, which it should, but not guaranteed. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Boot the USB. This ISO uses a Windows 10 PE, but has a Windows Vista install.wim. 2. Open command prompt by pressing "Shift+F10" 3. On the command prompt, type in the following commands: diskpart sel dis 0 clean conv gpt cre par efi size=100 form quick fs=fat32 assign letter w cre par pri form quick assign letter c exit D:\ (where your USB is) cd sources dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\ - If DISM doesn't work, go to D:\support\tools\gimagex and deploy the image with gimagex.exe in the x64 folder bcdboot C:\Windows /s W: 4. Open up Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and copy the BCD file and paste it onto the Windows Vista partition. 5. Go back to diskpart by typing "diskpart" in the command prompt. 6. Type in the following commands: sel dis 0 sel vol w form quick fs=fat32 exit 7.. Go back to Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to the USB drive, then go to the FlashBootPro folder, then copy the "EFI" folder. 8. Go to W:\ and paste the EFI folder. 9. Go to the Windows Vista partition and cut "BCD". 10. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and paste "BCD" on the folder. 11. Reboot. You should be logged in to the Administrator account. Narrator is enabled on the device. If the screen is not displaying anything, go to screen resolution and set it to 1024x768. The screen should now work. Proof of Windows Vista working on Surface Pro 1: IMPORTANT NOTE: If you try to install Vista on a SP2 or higher or a post-Ivy Bridge machine, your machine will have a lot of bugs and issues as all Vista post-Ivy Bridge machines do.
  20. If you have tried to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro, or a UEFI-only device., you may have noticed it hangs on "Starting Windows" or gives error 0xc000000d, or you might have seen the following message: However, this article proves that it isn't impossible to achieve this. This tutorial shows you how to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro. This tutorial is meant for the Surface Pro 1, but could work on any other UEFI-only device, which it should, but not guaranteed. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Boot the USB. This ISO uses a Windows 10 PE, but has a Windows 7 install.wim. 2. Open command prompt by pressing "Shift+F10" 3. Type in setup.exe /noreboot 4. Go through setup normally. 5. On the command prompt, type in "diskpart" 6. Type in the following commands: sel dis 0 lis par sel par 1 (where your boot partition is) assign letter w exit 7. Open up Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and copy the BCD file and paste it onto the Windows 7 partition. 8. Go back to diskpart by typing "diskpart" in 9. Type in the following commands: sel dis 0 sel vol w form quick fs=fat32 exit 10. Go back to Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to the USB drive, then go to the FlashBootPro folder, then copy the "EFI" folder. 11.Go to W:\ and paste the EFI folder. 12. Go to the Windows 7 partition and cut "BCD". 13. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and paste "BCD" on the folder. 14. Reboot. Setup should continue normally. NOTE: For some reason, Windows will NOT boot if any USB devices are connected. Any time you boot into 7, you MUST disconnect them, boot into 7, then connect them again. Wifi is integrated but doesn't work. You will need to purchase a separate USB wireless adapter. Proof of Windows 7 installed on Surface Pro 1:
  21. I tried this. I got the 0xc0000025 error on the SP1 and the VM. The SP1 said that "winload.efi" was either missing or corrupt when it is infact present, while on the VM it let me boot with driver signature enforcement off, but then says that "An unexpected error has occured."
  22. Hi, Is it possible to install Windows XP x64 on a Surface Pro 1, which is an Ivy Bridge machine (i5-3317U)? I have been able to install Windows 7 and Vista on the machine, even though Microsoft says it is unsupported because it's a UEFI-only device with no CSM, and now want to see if I can install Windows XP on there. I plan to use the Server 2008 winload.efi and FlashBootPro EFI files, or use the Quibble EFI files, to boot Windows XP (it is possible to boot XP on UEFI, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skzTESTEESA), and integrate drivers such as SATA drivers. I have been thinking of either installing XP in CSM on a VM, then adding the drivers (Intel HD Graphics 4000 and SATA drivers), and the EFI files, then backing up and imaging with Macrium Reflect, or using XP2ESD to install, which I haven't had success with on a VM as on the first boot, it fails to boot and gives me the 0xc0000098 error and says rcraid.sys is either missing or corrupt (and yes, I do disable driver signature enforcement). How would I get past that error? Other than running Windows XP in a VM, what solution would work?
