Also how exactly I can use bootmgr + winload to boot Windows XP?

Both should be great addition to XP2ESD project to make it easier for everyone.

@George King

It possible to get 64-bit UEFI working - https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewto...28c4526#p456492

@Gelip Did some experiments with UEFI DUET to emulate a 32-bit UEFI on a 64-bit UEFI, I think he got it working but it was very difficult (unless I'm mistaken?)

there is also quibble - an open-source reimplementation of the files bootmgfw.efi and winload.efi

And any research about bootmgr and winload? Does this solve automatic HAL detection?

I'm going to try that one what posted NTDev as is seems very easy to achieve
