CIACIACIACIACIACIA Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 @DIETMAR where is microsoft's nvme v2.0 driver for windows xp 32bit for downloading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andalu Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 @Dietmar freeldr.ini (SHA-1: 3390B6313C170A797C5F29B37C6CC8259DD63A77) and menu.lst (SHA-1: 7CC17A120E50018539060CE3DC7AFA9AFDC5881B) are the versions contained in the BootfilesfreeldrNTFS.7z package. Also, here are some images: https://ibb.co/GPBwfV8 https://ibb.co/gV51gXW https://ibb.co/M65j3cr My XP HD drive has two partitions, so the NVMe drive also has the same number of partitions. I will try it with only one partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietmar Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 @Andalu Yepp, the part with the installations menu via grub for ntldr and freeldr is ok. So it depends on your XP installation. There is something, with that freeldr cant work, for example XP on other partition Dietmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietmar Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 @CIACIACIACIACIACIA Here you go. Also the nvme driver from Kai 1.3 version works. Dont forget to read the whole install instruction Dietmar https://ufile.io/p9sp8ofm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIACIACIACIACIACIA Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 @DIETMAR I want to ask a question i have an INTEL ICH5 controller does this controller support AHCI for windows xp 32bit and how?(and maybe for sata mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietmar Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) @CIACIACIACIACIACIA When you have a working HD driver for XP, it is ok. When you want to change to another sata driver, be aware that after this try you may have to install XP new. I get for example some crazy results, when I try to mix the working ehci USB2 driver with the driver for USB3. Needs new install. If your board supports Sata, this you can see in Bios. When the board is not older than from 2008, it should work. I just look, the Intel ICH5 is the first chipset with 2× SATA-1 ports Dietmar Edited October 19, 2022 by Dietmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIACIACIACIACIACIA Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 There is a universal driver for AHCI windows xp but it doesn't support my controller yet. This driver doesn't need new windows xp install.Do you know a way to install a driver for that controller which gives AHCI support without re-installing windows xp?

Dietmar Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) @CIACIACIACIACIACIA You can install for your IDE or Sata device this driver via rightclick on iaAHCI.INF on running XP. https://ufile.io/qa2m4uog But there is risk. After install you have to enable AHCI in Bios Dietmar Edited October 19, 2022 by Dietmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIACIACIACIACIACIA Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 My BIOS doesn't support AHCI the question is there a way for motherboards that don't support AHCI through BIOS to support it in another way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietmar Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 @CIACIACIACIACIACIA Because you need the Bios files for to boot XP vita AHCI, there is no easy way to overcome this. And the question is also, for what, because IDE will be as fast as the Sata on this board Dietmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIACIACIACIACIACIA Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Is there a solution to this? Doesn't matter how hard it is. I have to say that i use an adapter which converts ide hdd to sata interface(SATA1). Some programs such as Virtualbox emulate AHCI.

Andalu Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 @Dietmar I re-started from scratch by installing XP on the HD drive with a single partition. I cloned this drive to the Crucial P5 NVMe drive leaving the partition size untouched as the HD drive. I applied the RMPrepUSB settings for the NVMe drive and copied only freeldr.sys first and then the other 5 files. Booting still works only via ntldr.sys. I get the same error message "Could not load the SYSTEM hive!" for booting via freeldr.sys. Below other images related to RMPrepUSB settings: https://ibb.co/kJ4wCSw https://ibb.co/r7mxyHn https://ibb.co/d6qcrRx https://ibb.co/NjsKpZz https://ibb.co/GMrS22w https://ibb.co/8gfdtP6 https://ibb.co/Hp15px3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietmar Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 @Andalu From the pictures, all looks ok. Do you have other harddisks connected to your compi? Disconnect all, only the nvme should stay. Make a try to disable all IDE and AHCI devices in Bios. Disable Fastboot and set everything to legacy. Enable CSM. If you have Secure Boot, disable this also or set to "Other OS". The freeldr.sys works, but cant find the windows installation of your XP Dietmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
