I would keep source partition. Replace hard disks first. If replaced hard disks works fine, I would keep source hard disk for another year still. Maybe write to the source hard disk after one year. A partition clone is not possible at different size. Create a image file to transfer files: ImageX.exe works at BartPE. Be aware: it's not supported Well, neither does OS manufacturer support BartPE. Choose yourself.

That's a ULI M1573 chipset. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5RD1VM/#specifications Does match HardwareId "PCI\VEN_10b9&DEV_5287" ? http://www.nvidia.com/page/uli_drivers.html IntegratedDriver2.20.exe contains a folder \ULi_Integrated220\IntegratedDriver2.20\SATA\M5287

I understand: hard disk is connected to southbridge SB710. Do you use IDE emulation mode? Which driver name *.sys do you use? What about AHCI mode and default msahci.sys? Read first: Error message occurs after you change the SATA mode of the boot drive http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976/en-us

Which BIOS version do you use? To which storage controller is connected the WD disk? AMD or Asmedia? Which mass storage controller driver do you use? Name the version too. That's another case. Windows uses USB drivers that way.

Fix the hardware at first laptop. Try anoter DVD media. Why do use a DVD at all? Try a CD media. Try ImgBurn to write the media. Try another (USB) optical drive.

Do you use http://iso2usb.sourceforge.net/ ? I doubt using a application for CentOS at XP files. There is a section: Install Windows from USB http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/157-install-windows-from-usb/ Try another approach,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_ATA#Speed_of_defined_transfer_modes There are two devices per cable. Imagine read and write to the same parallel cable. The situation is different at a serial cable: one device per cable Hence it's maximum theoretical transfer rate on the device. Beside user data there are commands to control the device. Driver, cable and hardware result to user data transfer rate: the limit can be 20x DVD speed user data at a UDMA2 PATA SATA adapter. A optical drive offers max speed at end of media only. I doubt a importand real world limitation at UDMA2 PATA SATA adapter. Contrary any adapter is a additonal risk: at a average IDE optical drive: do not buy a adapter, buy a new optical drive. at a very good IDE optical drive: try one or more adapter(s) And remember power supply, does current PSU offers a relating power connector?

Broken BIOS? Do you use grub4dos bootloader at MBR? Use a windows MBR and add grub4dos bootloader to partitoin boot code.

Used external USB drive. Name the manufacturer and model name Used desktop machine or motherboard or laptop. Name the manufactuer and model name Name the exceptions. Can be energy saving. Try disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

Which hardware do you use? Which USB port do you use? Does diskpart list the disk itself? Do you boot from a USB 3 port? There are no USB 3 drvers included by default.

The file 12-8_xp32_dd_ccc\$_OUTDIR\Packages\Drivers\Display\XP_INF\CX145314.inf contains PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68C1 is a generic match for a PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68C1&SUBSYS_036E1025&REV_00. There is no need to change the graphic card ID, use the default driver package. The driver itself may work of fail. Try default AMD Video Card Driver 12.8 and report the result.

Windows dosn't find boot device anymore. It's a BIOS USB error so far, not hard disk drivers at this level. Avoid Windows 2000 USB boot at this machine.

Include EnableBigLBA to installation media Set IDE emulation mode. If this fails still, then try a real DVD drive.

Which HardwareID matches this graphic card? Desktop Video Card Drivers 12.8 CX145314.inf matches ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series too. http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/integrated_xp-32.aspx#1

Yes, that's the idea. Does system cmd works at Windows 2000 too? HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd","ImagePath",0x20000,"cmd.exe /c start cmd.exe /c ""(ECHO \registry\machine\software\microsoft\driver signing[2]& ECHO Policy=REG_BINARY 0x00000001 00)>\dsigning.txt& REGINI.EXE \dsigning.txt& DEL \dsigning.txt& reg.exe delete HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCMD /f""" The service is deleted itself. However there are Enum traces still. I feel free to ignore Enum parts. No luck with BehaviorOnFailedVerify. Can be XP SP3. If I remember correctly, there had been some changes. In addition: Some driver signing hints from 2005: http://blogmal.42.org/rev-eng/driversign.story Works at gui mode setup. And dosn't work at installed XP SP3 anymore. It's the same patters, I've no explanation.

Yes, I've no success too after testing. Setup seems not to set AddReg security at textmode. That's nice. At XP: Running CMD.EXE as Local System http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adioltean/archive/2004/11/27/271063.aspx Running cmd as system and driver signing set: [SourceDisksFiles] regini.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0 [DriverSigning.AddReg] HKLM,"SYSTEM\Setup\AllowStart\SystemCmd",,0x10 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd","Type",0x10001,0x110 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd","Start",0x10001,0x2 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd","ErrorControl",0x10001,0x1 ;HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd","ImagePath",0x20000,"cmd.exe /k start cmd.exe" ;debug: &pause HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd","ImagePath",0x20000,"cmd.exe /c start cmd.exe /c ""(ECHO \registry\machine\software\microsoft\driver signing[2]& ECHO Policy=REG_BINARY 0x00000001 00)>\dsigning.txt& REGINI.EXE \dsigning.txt& pause& DEL \dsigning.txt""" HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd","ObjectName",0x0,"LocalSystem" HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd\Enum","0",0x0,"Root\LEGACY_SYSTEMCMD\0000" HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd\Enum","Count",0x10001,0x1 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SystemCmd\Enum","NextInstance",0x10001,0x1 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SYSTEMCMD","NextInstance",0x10001,0x1 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SYSTEMCMD\0000","Service",0x0,"SystemCmd" HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SYSTEMCMD\0000","Legacy",0x10001,0x1 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SYSTEMCMD\0000","ConfigFlags",0x10001,0x0 HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SYSTEMCMD\0000","Class",0x0,"LegacyDriver" HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SYSTEMCMD\0000","ClassGUID",0x0,"{8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}" HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SYSTEMCMD\0000","DeviceDesc",0x0,"SystemCmd" HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SYSTEMCMD\0000\Control","*NewlyCreated*",0x10001,0x1A cleaning "sc.exe delete SystemCmd" would be nice in addition. Driver Signing is set to 0. And disabled at GUI mode setup. No question at PNP unsigned *.inf files. However driver Signing is required at full installed XP, despide Driver Signing state 0x0 still.

Sent the laptop to your son-in-law.

Well, subincals is not not a default application. Created by OS manufactuer Does this refer as 1st, 2nd or 3rd party tool? Try at XP first: txtsetup.sif [SourceDisksFiles] dSigning.inf = 1,,,,,,_x,,3,3 [HiveInfs.Fresh] AddReg = dSigning.inf,DriverSigning.AddReg [HiveInfs.Upgrade] AddReg = dSigning.inf,DriverSigning.AddReg dosnet.inf [Files] D1,dSigning.inf dSigning.inf [Version] Signature="$CHICAGO$" [DefaultInstall] DelReg=DriverSigning.DelReg AddReg=DriverSigning.AddReg [DriverSigning.DelReg] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing" HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing debug" [DriverSigning.AddReg] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing","Policy",0x1,00 HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing debug","Policy",0x1,00 [DriverSigning.AddReg.Security] "D:P(A;;GR;;;SY)(A;;GR;;;WD)" Example inf file Un-grpconv.inf http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/bulletin/ms04-037 Driver Signing policy is set to 00 at end of textmode. And is available at full installed XP stil. No idea about 2000. Added: Driver Signing policy is set to 00. However driver has to be signed still. Added2: Driver Signing policy is at strange state: A edited usbstor.inf added GUI mode PNP does install USB storage device without a message. Full installed XP ask for drivers, if a new USB device attached. Seems to be nice work around as for GUI mode PNP. Correction: I apologize: winnt.sif DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore was set in adddition. That's nonsese of course. dSigning.inf is added at end of textmode, security settings are set. However system is owner still. System PNP part does reset the Driver Signing setting. Driver Signing is required at PNP part.

The classic approach uses a third party fake setup.exe WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe has to run at PNP part always. Post #837 describe a example to fix driver signing state. Run dsigning.exe first and continue. Contrary XP bth.inf list a registry security example [bthPort.NT.Setup.AddReg.Security] Can security settings added to hivesft.inf ? INF AddReg Directive

The file nusb3xhc.inf does refer the filename nusb3co.dll. Hence add nusb3co.dll to section [Files.SCSI.nusb3xhc]

Which laptop do you use? Goto BIOS. Can you attach less RAM to graphic card? Try Gavotte Ramdisk And read about Memory Limit by Geoff Chappell: http://www.geoffchappell.com/notes/windows/license/memory.htm

Yes, that's a good idea. Add nusb3co.dll[ too. NUSB3\CLASS_09 is another HardwareID from nusb3hub.inf. This HardwareID may be used at other machines. This is not a conflict. Keep this HardwareID for future.

Use oemscan at royalty OEM hardware

May work as for XP F6 drivers, or may fail too. At current information: a waste of money Which ones do you have? Name the model. Which ones do you have? Name the model.Return the PCIe controller. Purchase a USB IDE adapter, connect the old IDE HDD's to backup data. And disconnect the USB IDE drive after backup. Get money back: Return the PCIe controller. Use the same USB IDE adapter, connect the IDE ODD to USB. Connect the new SATA HDD to a port at IDE mode. Install XP from USB ODD. Finish XP installation, add missing drivers. Switch then new SATA HDD to a port at AHCI mode.
