Damnation Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 @Slim Shady We don't have 2003 R2 x86/x64 source code, we have 2003 RTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it be emulated in Custom Bootloader? Future looks grim https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-X86-S-64-bit-Only Looks like XPx64 is only option What ChatGPT said about this: Quote The ability to boot Windows XP without 32-bit Ring 0 support would be highly challenging, if not impossible. The x86 architecture used by Windows XP relies heavily on 32-bit mode and the associated privilege levels, including Ring 0 for kernel-level operations. Removing or emulating 32-bit Ring 0 support would likely lead to severe compatibility issues and prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Regarding the article you mentioned about Intel's plans for x86 processors, it's important to note that it primarily focuses on the future direction of Intel's hardware architecture, particularly the possibility of transitioning to a 64-bit-only environment. However, it doesn't directly impact the existing compatibility and capabilities of operating systems like Windows XP. Windows XP was designed to operate on x86 processors and relies on specific features and instructions that are available in that architecture. While hardware advancements may eventually phase out support for legacy operating systems, it's important to understand that Windows XP is already considered an outdated operating system, and its compatibility with future hardware may become increasingly limited over time.

Such a transition would effectively render 32-bit software incompatible unless it is rewritten or recompiled for the 64-bit architecture. While it is technically possible to patch Windows XP-64 to run on pure 64-bit CPU mode in a UEFI environment, it would require extensive modifications to various components of the operating system, including the graphics output, boot menu, and memory manager, as you mentioned. These modifications would need to be carefully implemented to ensure compatibility and stability. However, it's important to note that undertaking such a task would be a significant endeavor, requiring in-depth knowledge of the operating system's internals and the underlying hardware architecture. Additionally, modifying a legacy operating system like Windows XP introduces its own set of challenges, as it is no longer actively supported by Microsoft.

Yes, I did it to be more helpful but keep in mind that It's better when I say what I mean so you can understand me better, that's why I used ChatGPT. Just so you know, English is not my native language, I just used ChatGPT to articulate my speech in an aspiring programmer tone (because that's what I plan to be) so I am taken seriously. I am more interested in getting Windows XP x64 SP2 (using XP2ESD) to boot from UEFI Class 3 because that's what MovAX0xDEAD discussed in the link below. I managed to get XP x64 to the enumeration stage with ntbtlog.txt showing information. If I don't edit the mounted key to add the GUID of XP x64 UEFI Class 3 (GPT) partition on the same host SSD (multi-boot) and set the XP drive letter as C: with the same hex code as GUID (I borrowed mine from my Windows 11), XP won't even get to the device enumeration stage. When I see the "Starting Windows XP" logo, nothing happens on the screen and keyboard (even though patched winload.efi 16497 is used), but there's activity on ntbtlog.txt and on the device manager's enumeration entries, it's stuck on a boot loop. That's progress compared to last time when XP didn't even recognize my main NVME SSD even with backported stornvme and storahci drivers on AHCI mode. If IaStorAC is forced to load at boot as well, no BSOD 0x7B but still stuck to device enumeration mode. It's set to restart at BSOD crash with the boot debugger enabled to force BSOD to appear on NOGUIBOOT if it happens. 8 hours ago, jaclaz said: If you think it is a "right thing" to do it would be IMHO only decent to state that you were pasting verbatim a ChatGPT answer and - additionally - quote the exact prompt you gave to ChatGPT.
