Windows 2000 BETA drivers for testing purposes


daniel_k

Recommended Posts

In this topic I'll post my modified drivers for Windows 2000 with SP4 (no Updates Rollup or Extended Kernel needed).
For testing purposes only, so beware. If considered stable, will be promoted to Final.

- Intel Matrix Storage 7.6.9.1002 (AHCI/RAID)

- AMD(Hudson?) / Intel / VIA XHCI USB3.1 driver 1.1.0.0276

  • Driver only: 276BETA_W2K.7z
    Has the same issues with PAE as XP.
    Don't know if Windows 2000 is also affected by qword ACPI issue (the XHCI controller won't initialize and reports Error code 10).
    In this case, please try it in MPS Uniprocessor/Multiprocessor mode.

About testing:
- Unfortunately I don't have any optical driver to install Windows 2000 on my Coffee Lake PC, as USB-based install won't work with drivers integrated.
- Both drivers were tested on VirtualBox with no issues.
- Both drivers passed XP SP3 testing on my Coffee Lake PC with absolutely no issues, even USB-based install was possible.

- Installed Windows 2000 SP4 (with drivers integrated) in MPS Multiprocessor mode (ACPI doesn't work here) on VirtualBox.
- Followed the instructions in this question: exporting a virtualbox VDI to a harddrive to boot it natively
- Plugged in a PS/2 keyboard, booted Windows 2000 and proceeded with all driver installs.
- Used the Composite devices solution outlined here: Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface drivers (scroll down)
- And the result is:

Driver works fine with both Intel and VIA controllers.

@daniel_kHi, when I try the USB driver on my i5 8400, it works fine! However, when I try installing it on my Z690 12900k system, I get a KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED blue screen. Do you know why this is ? Could it be something with ACPI? On the i5 8400, I think I used MPS mode. I wouldn't think it is not compatible, because otherwise it either would say it can't find compatible hardware, or there would be an error code, like 10. Also, I got it working on the coffee lake system without the extended  kernel.
