Compiling ACPI v2.0 driver for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 SP2 (x32/x64)

@Svyatpro

May be, that full XP SP3 can be installed on this Dell precision m4800 notebook.

There are different versions of it.

Please tell me all about its hardware, cpu, graphiccard, SSD or HD

The problem can be the USB. I make the same experiance of hanging at "Windows is starting" before.

Make a try with a real CD-Rom, because this notebook Dell precision m4800 has an DVD drive.

Use Ramseys XP SP3 from 29 November 2024 with the settings

5, E, F, M, R

good luck

Dietmar

PS: In Bios you can switch between the 2 graphic cards. This can also be a reason for hanging.

Can anyone help me installing WinXP on Dell Precision M4800?

Does this laptop have two graphics cards? If possible, change the order of cards in the bios or disable one and test with the other.

Build WinXP 32-bit using my tutorial then install from USB:
WinXP 32-bit on a modern PC (ISO boot.wim + install.wim)
To make USB:

• connect USB stick (max 32GB because FAT32 only supports that)
• run CMD and:

  diskpart
  list disk
  sel disk x (x is USB drive)
  clean
  create par pri format fs=fat32 quick label="xp32_pe31"
  active
  exit

• mount ISO in virtual CD-ROM drive or open in 7z then copy (extract) all files and folders from ISO to USB drive

Hi,

"However, it is possible to boot in UEFI32"

does this mean, that now we can boot XP SP3 with graphic on a compi, that has only 64 bit UEFI (no CSM at all)

@Dietmar

No, WinXP 32-bit only on:

• old Legacy bios
• UEFI64 bios in CSM mode
• on UEFI32 bios without or with CSM

On bios UEFI64 without CSM only WinXP 64-bit

Have either of you given quibble a go to see if it can boot XP32 in UEFI64?

This is still in To-do list:

• Booting 32-bit Windows on 64-bit machine

There is something like EFI Byte Code. The compiled EBC application is universal and can be launched both in UEFI32 and UEFI64. Exactly the same uefiinfo.efi application works in both UEFI32 and UEFI64:

Maybe how to compile a loader, e.g. UefiSeven or another as an EBC, could be launched WinXP 32-bit on UEFI64 without CSM?
