yeah, windows can be installed only under f5 standard option, on f7 crashes.
Can the ACPI setting be altered after the windows is installed?
If I could get the intel power manager up and running it would be great, or only if system could recognize two processors.

bios is all closed, no options available and I have no clue haw to modify it :(

I saw that on F5 I have more options :) as user Syah03 had and like him I do not know which to choose.
I choose a advance configuration and power management (ACPI) and windows installes. now I am trying to install DPRU drivers what they will tell. But for now still have only one processor, but floppy is gone :)

No matter which ACPI I use the windows or crashes or the Intel engine management driver is not working (with a yellow !, and error 10 device cannot start).
The id is: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV&9C3A&SUBSYS_06531028&REC_04\3&11583659&0&B0
If someone know how to bruteforce this driver or another idea. Without this the two graphic cards can not work and the system will only recognise one processor.

Hi all,

First post on here. Have been reading this thread extensivly :p
I'm trying to install XP 32-bit on my laptop; HP Spectre 13 x2 13-h275eo. The SATA controller is Intel 8 series:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C03&SUBSYS_2152103C&REV_04
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C03&SUBSYS_2152103C
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C03&CC_010601
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C03&CC_0106

The problem is that I can't get it to boot from USB which contains XP. Previously I have managed to install W7 32-bit.
So I don't even get to the point of verifying the integration of SATA drivers. I think.
The drivers I integrated was https://mega.co.nz/#!dRFTwbja!5tDoO32mih...1gtMQpVTBehSClE
Today I tried Rufus software to create a bootable USB, but this too didn't work.

Any ideas?
Thanks for your work! :)

Since Windows XP natively doesn't support USB 3.0 Controllers, you have to use an USB 2.0 port... You have to choose the MBR boot option.

I'm trying to install XP-32 bit on a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ATX motherboard desktop system.

XP can install and run, but only while bios is configured in IDE mode.
The onboard Intel 217 LAN and Realtek 1150 audio work okay.
However, if re-attempting installation while in AHCI mode, the install proceeds normally, copying files onto the hard drive, but (only as far as the final re-boot to desktop) and then blue screens/system halts.
It's puzzling why Intel quit supporting XP for newer chipset hardware, while Realtek still supports it.
I'll be trying once again using Fernando's modded RST driver slipstreamed onto an XP install disc.

Edit: Is there an easy method of removing some of the mostly outdated hard drive controller drivers from the XP SP3 disc?
There's dozens of useless drivers that get copied over in text mode, such things as: Mylex, ULi, LSI Logic, SCSI floppy, SiS, High Point Rocket Raid, etc.

Update: XP installed on Z97 board with AHCI mode enabled; used F5 key, which offered 2 choices: something like "i486 computer" or "Other: (supply a configuration file)". Picked "i486" option, and installation completed; Fernando's modded AHCI driver appeared in Device Manager. However: the system cannot now shut off power by itself at shutdown. Instead: screen says "Ready to power off" and waits for user input to switch power off. Also: USB 2.0 port driver seems defective, in that any USB drive connected is seen as unformatted and empty.

A 2nd AHCI mode install successful, and without using any F key. This time, the power off feature is working normally.
So: I would recommend not using the F5 key option.
The USB 2.0 driver remains problematic, but a proper driver should solve that, because a prior installation of XP-32 bit (+ bios set to IDE mode) was able to use USB 2.0 okay.
