Hi I was saying if I could actually boot a 32 bit windows xp on 64 bit efi since I almost have been testing on vmware for almost 3 weeks or more to get windows xp sp2 x64 working no matter how I tried it gave me different error codes but when I get windows xp sp3 it works perfectly fine if so can I run windows xp sp3 on a 64 bit efi system @Fernando thanks

Edit: internet doesn't work on win xp sp2 x64 so that's also why I want to run windows xp sp3

@windows2.0uefi

not winXP 32bit, winXP 64bit might work but its a complicated process to setup and there is no guarantee it'll work.

yes you're right in the post Boot WinXP 32-bit/64-bit on UEFI 32-bit/64-bit I have posted a lot of posts I also done some bcd editing and I get error code 0xc0000225

a grub efi loader can load a 32 bit efi on 64 bit efi am I right? my system is also a uefl class 2 system since it gives the option for legacy boot

waiting for a response...

@windows2.0uefi

If you have legacy boot as an option you can save yourself alot of headaches by just using that to boot XP instead.

can't do that since I dualboot windows 10 and 11 in uefi GPT then I can't install windows xp on gpt also I don't have a secondary hard drive to install on also I'm not trying to risk my machine to convert to mbr since the last time I converted to gpt after that the power went out thank goodness the power didn't cut during the conversion so I'm scared if this happens during the conversion (sorry for bad english)

ok so how will I do that?
I saw a custom grub bootloader made by AIOBOOT on youtube and it allows to boot from gpt partitions in legacy mode I can also install that bootloader onto a usb flash drive then change in bios settings from uefi to legacy boot and I can boot windows 10 from a gpt partition in legacy boot

also I think I will need to put the legacy boot files in the esp (EFI system partition) then I can boot from the usb then boot into windows 10 in legacy boot

but how will I do it for windows xp? if I can.. my system has 8 gigs of ram!!
that's a problem

also for @infuscomus where is the option in XP2ESD that allows me to boot from (bcd & winload.efi)

EDIT: paragon GPT loader may get windows xp working on gpt disks

no way about this this is so shocking https://ibb.co/BTsfjCG the grub bootloader could load DOS too in uefi csm disabled

it's just like UEFI duet which emulates x64 uefi firmware under a legacy bios machine but this is opposite so it emulates legacy bios under uefi with csm off

I know about uefi duet but I didn't know about the grub loader
