Hi,

is there a tool or an adapter, where you can put your xp.iso on it,

so that it looks like a real CD-Rom? Connector to compi can be IDE or Sata or PCI.

No USB connector, because old motherboards know nothing about USB.

I ask this, because I notice, that some of my burned CD-Roms do not work any longer, because of age(?)

Do you have success with installing your modded english XP SP3 on a 486 cpu?

Which version do you use? Do you change anything compared with my files?

I am soso curious, can you send me your modded files?

Just now I am installing my german xp486.iso direct onto an AMD 133MHZ 486 cpu

On real 486 compi, the same reboot happens before the F8 appears.

so it installed a unmodified version as ntoskrnl.exe. maybe we need to replace all ntoskrnl variations with our patched one.

This problem I have had before. Now I always look, if still the modified ntoskrnl.exe is at its place.

I think, that the same happens to you. In the very last reboot, some files are changed back to their original one.

Because I do not change them in sp3.cab or dll or driver folder.

For to overcome this, I just put out HD before last reboot and copy by hand back all the modded files. This works for me.

Until now I do not succeed to install any PCI to Sata or IDE controller under XP.

With the original PIO 3 IDE controller on the Shuttle Hot 433 board, the transfer speed is about 7MByte/s, brrr..

I tried really all. No driver is even correct installed under running XP.

I tried: Promise TX2 300, Silicon 3114, Silicon 3112 and a no name from China.

"Best" result shows the Promise driver, but even when XP tells, that its driver is correct installed, I never see a harddisk via this adapter,

nor I can boot from it

There is a way to make it work, you JUST need a single ssd with 32gb of storage, like this

First step,  you use the "IDE TO USB" adapter and connect your very old HDD to the new pc

Make sure that the very old HDD had only ONE partition, or it won't work

Then, type these commands;

 

diskpart

(if permissions, press yes)

lis dis 

lis vol

(look at your HDD <DRIVELETTER> and type: sel vol <DRIVENUMBER> at diskpart)

then sel ur volume

 

active

exit

 

After that, you copy ALL of your windows XP CD-ROM files to the very old HDD that you plug in, then eject the drive.

For some reason this method works for windows vista and later DVD-ROMS when trying to copy all files over to the harddrive to make hdd boot.

After that, plug it back into your old 486 PC and pray that it works.

If problems, please tag me in the description.

And I also delete logagent.exe and wmnetmgr.dll from the XP SP3 install CD,

because those 2 are the only files left, with CMPXCHG8b opcode in it

I wonder if you will patch them later?

I want to do this, but for those a lot of cmpxchg8b there, it is just not enough free place in it at the end of their .text section.

And I have small success:) with to enlarge the .text section.

Can you enlarge the .text section of my german files? And write me, where those free place is now in those files.

Then I will do the modd
