jaclaz Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Which game is this? The one where other users suggest something and you reply saying "Yeah, I tried that but it doesn't work." and that goes on for several posts until it ends nowhere or the one where you post the EXACT description of your hardware, the EXACT description of what tool/method/whatever you tried using to install XP from USB AND the EXACT description of the error(s)/issue(s) you had and for which you may receive (hopefully) some advice or something else? jaclaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyfan Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) and the tool I used was WinSetupFromUsb (ive also tried (easy2boot rufus wintoflash and several others) Edited March 1, 2023 by legacyfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 A blue screen is blue, usually it comes with some white text on it, including a STOP code, see example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death#/media/File:Windows_XP_BSOD.png Besides, WinSetupFromUSB behaviour might depend on the settings you chose. The fact that you tried other tools obtaining similar failures leads me to think that there may be issues with the source, like some driver (missing or "wrong"). jaclaz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next one will likely be about RIS installation ... jaclaz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistapocalypse Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 1 hour ago, legacyfan said: I need disks to be able to Install it that's why I'm waiting I believe that Best Buy still carries optical disks, or Staples, or perhaps even Walmart. You remind me of an old man at another forum who always blogs about himself no matter what the topic of a thread might be. Of course this is your thread so please feel free to tell us that you are moving to Eclipse, installing Linux, or whatever your latest whim might be, but this game is indeed getting old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XP doesn't have SATA drivers by default. CoCo. Editing: they need to be integrated. Edited March 3, 2023 by Cocodile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
