I had the same problem with a black screen while trying to install a Server 2003 ISO using the firadisk/grub4dos method. I solved it by opening the ISO with PowerISO and saving it with a different name to recreate the ISO file. I don't know why, but it worked.

thank you, I tried it today and it works well, but I didn't understand the usefulness of firadisk, since it is grub4dos that completely loads the ISO file with the universal ahci driver integrated into the RAM emulating the CD. in any case, I consider XP2ESD the best solution to install XP on modern PCs

HI, can you tell me how do you install XP via USB using firadisk? do you use grub4dos? if so, what commands do you use in the menu.lst file?

Hi Dietmar, for install Windows XP make a version with XP2ESD, works on all notebook

I just pointed out that acpi.sys is not responsible for the freeze problem when using the PS/2 port on new motherboards. If anyone wants to open another thread to try to solve this problem too, I'm available for testing, unfortunately I speak English with a translator, and I could write things that are difficult to understand. I wanted to ask you another question, but is this acpi.sys file from dietmar better in all cases than the original acpi.sys file from XP SP3? or your old motherboard is it better to use the original?

I tried to install Windows XP with the F7 key to have it without ACPI and check if the freeze problem on restart when using PS/2 keyboard or mouse is resolved, but the problem continues, so the problem is not due to the acpi.sys file do you have any idea how I can solve it? I'm a perfectionist, and although I can use usb keyboard and mouse to avoid freezee, I would still like to understand how to solve the problem with you and make XP still usable on any PC.

Do you think it's a BIOS bug? Or are Windows XP's PS2 drivers that are obsolete for motherboad post 2016? I already have the latest bios available 2020 the driver PS2 i8042prt.sys of XP is less recent of the driver in POS 2009 Ready?

I confirm, With USB Keyboard and Mouse, everything works, but when I connected a PS2 peripheral (or keyboard or mouse) and I reboot, xp freezes. How can I solve this problem?

yes, I'm using a ps2 keyboard, and mouse too, I didn't know this, I have to try with a USB

I have used the file ACPI.SYS from the ISO Ramsey, but the problem of freeze at reboot persist

thanks but my problem with reboot is for acpi.ays ?

Can you link XP ramsey?
