Well maybe there is some misunderstanding. If you update from a magnetic HDD to a SSD: Yes, the AMD RAID driver works at AHCI mode too. This includes XP. At bootup the AMD driver scans for HDD and cause a delay: IDE mode booting may be faster than AHCI booting You won't recognise a difference at AHCI or IDE mode in real life. Yes, there is a difference at syntetic testing. There is no TRIM support at XP. Overall (update from a magnetic HDD to a SSD): ignore AMD IDE or AMD AHCI mode at XP: that's not the main question choose a XP friendly SSD: medium garbage collection, preferably with a windows maintenance application

New game: plain XP, without a DDO Remember: The Textmode part rely on BIOS and MBR: windows partition The booted XP rely on partition code to mount a partition: second data partition 1. Truncate the 80 HDD to 32 GB (Seagate DiscWizard or IBM Drive Fitness) 2. Connect the HDD to the DLOG HPC 5 as primary master with BIOS support 3. Install XP, create a partition within first 32 GB 4. Use another (USB) machine. Set 80 GB size to 80 GB HDD, Create a new partition, fill up the HDD 5. Truncate the 80 HDD to 32 GB 6. Connect the HDD to the DLOG HPC 5 7. Enjoy a 80 GB HDD Of course, do not change parititons after. Avoid all partiton tools at the truncated HDD. The 40 GB HDD is available at the TXP4-X, BIOS from 12/02/97 Todo: fill second partition to the brim, does it boot still? @jaclaz How to create second partition within HPC 5? That's create a second partition up to 80 GB at a 32 GB HDD?

IBM Drive Fitness test limits the capacity too. Use another machine to set the capacity. There are 2.5 to 3.5 IDE adapter. There is Disk Manger V9.61 (IBM) at Ultimate Boot CD. However I doubt this support XP and not a HGST HDD. Idea, not tested: Seagate "DiscWizard Starter Edition 10" creates a rescue DDO floppy: Ontrack Boot Diskette. Run a virtual machine, write DDO to a virtual floppy. Copy the floppy image to the 32 MB SSD. Install grub4dos to the 32 MB SSD, include floppy image to menu.lst. Connect 80 GB, include to BIOS. Boot the 32 MB SSD, launch DDO floppy image. Can you access 80 GB at 80 GB hard disk? Next step: Boot a XP CD, DDO is not loaded, hence a 32 GB HDD. Install XP to a 2 GB partition. Boot XP via DDO floppy image. Create a 78 GB data partition. Benefit: you can boot and repair XP without a loaded DDO. However data partition is available partially only, data loss is possible, be carefaul. There is a Asus TXP4-X, a AMD K6-III 450, 2x 128 MB SD-RAM (16 Mx8) and a 40 GB Maxtor HDD at local museum box. There is the Award 4.51PG BIOS with the a 32 GB limit. And Jan provides a patched BIOS too. I may be temped to do some tests.

What about XP booting without BIOS support? If you like to use DDO: First truncate the 80 GB HDD to 32 GB. Use a hardware jumper. Or use software: use HDD installation tools. Can you connect the HDD to another machine? Connect the HDD to the HPC 5, primary master. Enable HDD at BIOS. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ There are some HDD installation tools at Ultimate Boot CD. Some are OEM versions from Ontrack's DDO. Or http://vintage-pc.tripod.com/hdd_utils.html Install the DDO, this enables a 80 GB HDD. Install XP next.

Which BIOS do yo use? It's a Award 4.51PG? Which hard disk do you use? A DDO is asking for trouble in the long terme. Try a DDO solution from the hard disk manufacturer. http://www.ryston.cz/petr/bios/award.html http://www.ryston.cz/petr/bios/ga586hx_mod.html Asks Jan or Petr to patch the BIOS.

Without BIOS support you may switch to hard disk http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21242 To set this up, use the 32 MB SSD and the 20 GB HDD. If this works, copy files from the 20 GB HDD to the 80 GB HDD. Next adjust signature checksum again. Or patch the BIOS to remove the 32 GB limit. http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm

Yes, the approach works. Do you use XP SP3 files? Which partitions exist at hard disk? Which start sector do you use? However this result to letter f: as XP systemdrive. If you prefer letter c: , then adjust or delete the file f:migrate.inf.

Use BCDboot http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh824874.aspx Boot windows 8. Remember Windows 7 partition, e.g. d: bcdboot D:\Windows

If you ensist at a nice device manager view, update the driver manually and select chipset inf files. .Well, read again. No, I didn't wrote this. 25C0 refers to NO_DRV: doesn't need any drivers 25FA, is another device, a PCI-to-PCI Bridge. This is another case. Compatible ID PCI\CC_0604 refers to a PCI-to-PCI Bridge too. Intel chipset driver dosn't contain any driver: read a *.sys file. The driver pci.sys is used, this is a windows default driver. Default windows machine.inf: %PCI\CC_0604.DeviceDesc% = PCI_DRV, PCI\CC_0604 The section PCI_DRV loads default driver pci.sys pci.sys is active before intel chipset driver already. You don't need to use hardware manufacturer *.inf, but may use this to get a nice device manager view. The PCI-to-PCI Bridge is active before and after intel chipset driver installation.

What about vanilla XP files, without added drivers and +3 years unattended disc? Reported issuse is strange. Chipset setup does install drivers in general, if not, there has to be a reason. I suspect installation files still. Mentioned pci.sys hardware is unclear. No, chiset setup behaviour it's not correct. Contrary at a technical level, it won't make a difference, if you install manufacturer *.inf for a pci.sys hardware or a NO_DRV device. Windows behave the same, if you install the relating *.inf or not. Solving the chipset installation behaviour won't solve your problem. To summerize: asking chipset driver may ask the false question.

The behaviour indicates good XPx64 installation files and broken XPx86 installation files. Which XP x86 Professional installation files do you use? Do you use a OEM version? A retail version? Which SP is included? Any drivers included in addition? Edited in any way? What about mass storage drivers? I doubt a loaded pci.sys as for a PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_25C0 Which hardwareID reres to loaded pci.sys? pci.sys was loaded before installing chipset drivers already. Without pci.sys no current windows machine does boot. Chipset installation dosn't change function relating pci.sys, it's nice displayed name only. There is another reason. I suspect hardware. Try a PCI(e) USB card.

There is no driver involved: translate 'NO_DRV' to no driver. machine.inf Manually device manager update add entries to list nice names. There is no driver installed. As for the setup behaiour: I suspet edited XP installation media. Use a vanilla XP installation media. Which hardware and software do you use?

And a englisch Windows XP. And Windows 7 Home Premium with several languages, one language selected at installation. You don't need a muli language version: different languages available at installed system. As indicated already, add some RAM. Contrary if you keep 512 MB RAM only, choose Windows XP.

Remember: the OS manufacurer dosn't support this approach. BIOS behaviour is importand, some approaches fail at given BIOS. Try another approach at given hardware: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/157-install-windows-from-usb/

How can I creat a floppy image with specified sectors. Use ImDisk http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/ Goto control panel, open Imdisk applet, mount a new virtual disk, set size of virtual disk to N blocks. Format drive, copy files Write image to a file It may be the floppy size, or CHS layout.

Why do you need a multilanguage version? Do you need one language only? Or do you use two different languages for two users? XP is supported till 2014. Install Windows 7 Ultimate. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ph/windows7/products/features/language-packs Did you install a (english) windows so far? List the used hardware.

Ntdetect dosn't validate floppy image. Use a more floppy like size: multiplicate 1440 sectors 10 14400 sectors 11 15840 sectors 12 17280 sectors Again: there are more open questions still. Try the other approaches first.

Add a flag file disk105 and disk106 to the floppy image. And add a winnt.sif to the floppy image. [Data] MsDosInitiated="1" Be aware: you invent the wheel again and may get some unexpected behaviour. Have fun.

What do you like to accomplish? Ask in more general way? Don't you use grub4dos already? Use a default bootmgr file and edit file in RAM. Which bootmgr do you use by default? title Windows 7 setup \\boot\\bc1 #use configfile \boot\bc1 #based on JFX http://sanbarrow.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1807 #Bcdedit.exe /store \boot\bc1 /set {bootmgr} nointegritychecks 1 #use a non default directory at USB drive set bootmgr=/boot/bootmgr find --set-root --devices=h %bootmgr% map --mem %bootmgr% (rd) #ignore 16-Bit Stub checksum cat --hex --locate=\x74\x3\xE9\x8\x0\x39\x56 --replace=\xEB\x8\xE9\x8\x0\x39\x56 (rd)+1 #half broken approach, works by chance at: #Vista SP0, SP1, SP2 and Windows 7 beta 7000, RC 7100, SP0, SP1 #change chars CD from file name BCD # # cat --hex --skip=0x48000 --length=0x18000 --number=1 --locate=C\x00D --replace=C\x001 (rd)+1 chainloader (rd)+1 root ()

http://www.anandtech.com/show/1506/5 System Intel Pentium 4 560 (3.6GHz) Intel 915GUX (Intel 915 Chipset) NVIDIA GeForce 6200 The system cosnumes 117 W at idle and 200 W at peak. The 560 CPU is listed at TDP 115 W http://ark.intel.com/products/27472/intel-pentium-4-processor-560560j-supporting-ht-technology-1m-cache-3_60-ghz-800-mhz-fsb The ThinkCentre uses a Northwood or a Prescott: most likely a lower TDP http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-55505 @Hoko How do you use your system: as a gaming machine?

300 watt is the recommendation for the system, assuming a trash PSU. The GeForce 6200 requires about 30W, the P4 2800 ? about 90W. Given a ThinkCentre there is no need to update the PSU.

I undertand: this require a x86 CPU like a Z2760. http://ark.intel.com/de/products/70105/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z2760-1MB-Cache-1_80-GHz The cpu is used at a Windows 8 tablet. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/mdt/thread/f95f9f34-349a-4db2-8b80-f52c0bd39455/ Do you use a AMD64 CPU? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 Long shot, not tested: Copy "Windows Preinstallation Environment\x86\Media\EFI\Boot\bootia32.efi" to <USB>\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi

Add a registry fix and copy a file Read the manual nontheless.Connect hard disk to SATA Port 4/5. Enable AHCI, but set Port 4/5 to IDE emulation. Boot XP at IDE mode and install AHCI drivers. Set Port 4/5 to SATA Type.
