Can't install winxp on 6163VA
i've got a pc with a ms-6163va motherboard with a p3 500 processor.
Since I wanted to install xp on it I've updated the bios to 3.5, i've tried clearing the cmos and also disabling all optimizations and apm in the bios but there's nothing to do: when I try to install windows randomly during the installation (i've saw this only when it's reading/writing from the hd or the cdrom) it hangs, it does this when it formats the partition and when it copies the files or load the files for booting the installation so it's not a cdrom problem. I've tried to use another cdrom drive but the same problem occurred. Then I decided to install xp in the hd using another computer (i've just done the 1° part of the installation and removed the hd when it asked for reboot to see if the installation continued on the pc with the 6163 motherboard) but nothing when it boots it gives me an 0x00000007b error.
Please help meeee ;( ;( ;(
and sorry for my horrible english 8o
eeeeck I thought it was installing but nearly the end of the installation it crashes and when I reboot it have to restart from scratch :/
The error is "MEMORY MANAGEMENT ERROR" and it happens always in the same point of the installation ;(
Any suggestion about something that I should try to have the installation to finish?
Btw this is the 1000th post in this section :PP
Nobody would be so cruel to not help the 1000th poster wouldn't you? :P :P :P

How can I install winxp to bootcamp on imac with bad optical drive?
I have a mid-2007 20" aluminum Intel-based iMac and I'm having trouble getting a clean install of MacOS10.5.8 and Win XP (through Bootcamp) on a new drive.
The problem stems from the fact that I have no internal optical drive. My Superdrive began acting up a while ago (couldn't recognize, read from, or write to DVD). I replaced the drive, but the problem persisted. Calling Apple Support, they determined (guessed?) the problem was the logic board, and, as the machine is out of warranty, isn't worth replacing. No big deal - I've been using an external USB optical drive when needed.
However, my hard drive is beginning to experience issues (SMART Failure), and I want to reinstall everything MacOS, Bootcamp/Win XP on a clean new drive. The problem is that I cant resinstall Win XP to Bootcamp without an internal drive (which seems unlikely to ever work). I've tried creating a bootable USB key with the XP installation files going through the Bootcamp installation process using the WintoFlash/rEFIt method, but to no avail (won't recognize boot from USB).
Is it possible to remove the internal hard drive, boot from MacOS (10.5.8) on an external drive, and connect the optical drive to the sATA port where the internal drive was? Or is there a second sATA port on these logic boards? Or can I somehow connect the USB optical drive in a way that the iMAC thinks it's internal? I'm not afraid of digging into the iMAC (changed HDD and Superdrive already).
Is there anyway to test the pATA connection on my logic board to find out if it's really the problem? If it's not, maybe I can install WinXP on a second Windows formated drive, to take the space of the internal Superdrive.
There must be some good ideas out there somewhere. Barring that, my only other option is to use Parallels and take the performance hit that comes with running a virtual machine. UGH!Actually, when I followed that link, one of the related links in More Like This was a real find! An actual download of Aperture, albeit a trial, but that would have solved my problem too. I tested it and although it's embeded in a support article, the link to the trial version of Aperture still works.
Thanks! Great info here if you can find it. -
K8N Neo3-F Mobo problem - Can't install winXP Pro
I am building my second computer. The system consists of the following components:
K8N Neo3-F mobo
120GB Western Digital Hard drive ( SATA )
Floppy Drive
Sempron 3100 754pin
Pioneer DVR 111D
1GB memory ( single stick )
Video Card - MSI 7300GS 256
Can't get winXP to install. Always get errors of some kind or other. First error was the STOP 0x0000008E Page Fault and NON-paged area. Then others
during subsequent reinstall attempts. The page fault error only showed up one time. Sometimes the installation failes only during the Registering Components part of the install.
During POST, the memory check comes back as OK.
Have used Western Digital's Lifeguard utility to check the hard drive, says OK.
Any ideas of what to do next ?????Beaudog53,
Run Memtest86 and let it run for several hours. (What are the specs on your RAM?)
Also tell us about your Power Supply.
Take Care,

Can't install WinXP - hangs up on install
I need some serious help. Here's my system:
K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo
1GB Corsair 3200 XLPRO RAM
AMD Athlon 3500+
2 Maxtor DiamonMax 10 250 GB drives in Raid 0
When I try installing Win XP from the CD, the sytem hangs. I press F6, load both drivers, and then Windows loads a few more drivers. After it reaches "Setup is starting windows," the system hangs there. I think the storage driver is causing the hangup. When I just use the raid driver, it doesn't hang, but I see 2 drives intead of 1. I have flashed bios to 1.4. I've tried using Maxblaster, but can't get that to work. Any suggestions?Check out the maxtor links shown by Syar2003, people have got these drives working but, i'm not sure that i've seen any get a raid setup yet.
If you want to continue trying to set up raid you'd be better off setting up a new floppy with more uptodate drivers. Upto Date Floppy
You can get the drivers mentioned here NVidia Windows XP - Unified Driver -
Can´t install winXp if the acpi is turned on in bios
If the ACPI is turned on in bios, a received an erro (pci.sys) just after instaling the Raid drivers.
I turn off acpi andinstall the OS, but when a turn it back on de OS works but APM not.

What does it do anyways, I read it in the msi motherboard book but still don't no the meaning of it and why it would cause me to stay up all night to figure what the heck was the problem.. Also I have a 200gig hd western, how come when formatting it's showing something like 131062 mb free, did I get ripped off from newegg or something LOL

I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP.
Hi, guys. I have a problem. I can`t install drivers for Promise IDE on WINXP. I `ve got an error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". In Norton Ghost (DOS) drive on Promise work fine. I can`t install WINXP + SP1 on HDD on Promise controller. After pressing F6 and installing driver i `ve got an error Can`t find drive. BIOS 193 beta. Devices: IBM 120Gb 180GXP on primary master, Seagate 120 SATA 26AS on Third master. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM on secondary channel. Drivers 1.00.1.37 from ASUS and 1.00.1.29 from MSI. No result.
And another one. Why very poor perfomance when copying large files (700Mb). When starting copying speed is 25-27Mb/sec, when finishing 5-8Mb/sec. All drives under NTFS.
PS. Sorry for my bad english.Quote

That's correct
So if I do not misunderstand you, Windows hangs when accessing the drive?
Is it only with this drive, then maybe it's an incompatibility between the controller and the ata electronics of the drive.
Or maybe it's completely broken.. have you tried it on the ICH5 IDE controller?
If it works there you should use this configuration.
I've read about problem with some drives ... take a look into the threads on the top of this board (FAQ etc.).
What I found out yesterday: You can use the Promise in RAID mode and define a RAID0 array with only one single drive. So you could use the Fasttrak driver from MSI, which is up to date.
I haven't tried this solution (one disk in a RAID0 stripe configuration), but I think it should work...
Maybe you give it a try
PS.: Before you switch to RAID mode, you have to change the Promise Driver... but be careful: windows won't boot with the wrong driver - your last chance would be "last known good" then... -
How can I install Windows XP on my Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 with all partitions deleted?
Lenovo Masters:
Good day to you all.
I would like to ask how can I install WinXP in my S10 (no DVD drive)? First, I want to share that I committed the mistake of using it without any anti-virus software installed. As a result, it bugged down. Now in my attempt to reformat it and make it as fresh as day one, I followed the steps on how to make a bootable USB drive. I was not aware that this unit is only compatible with WinXP (I tried to upgrade to Win7). And in the process, I deleted both partitions of the HDD.. Now I'm receiving the message "windows was not able to detect a hard drive.. blah.. blah.." dead end for me..
Can anyone grant me his/her generosity and enlighten me on what to do? Badly need help.. Thanks!you should format the partitions, i think, you haven't done it so, windows can't detect any harddisk installed or your harddisk is dead.
try to format the disk by using windows installation ( usb ) and try to install again.
also, check if you see your hdd under bios ( press f2 to load bios, then check bios order )
ordering recovery discs won't help you due to you don't have any dvd-rom. i suggest you to call lenovo support line and ship your laptop back to service to reset your harddisk to its default.
( lenovo may charge you ) -
How to install winxp in mac book pro with Mac os?
Hi,
I'd a mac book pro with mac os x 10.7.5. Now I want install winXp in the mac because some software must be used with winXp.
But I can't install WinXp with Boot Camp in the mac, the Boot Camp always show the mac just be installed Win7!
Please help me!
Thank u very much!!Clinton don't worry about MS not supporting XP anymore. It is still one of the BEST MS OSs ever written (Win 7 being equal to XP in stability and usability). Just becasue they won't issue any more updates for it doesn't mean it can't still be used for YEARS to come.

Can't install WinXP32bits with Pci-e
Hi, i have a MSI K8N Neo3-F(601-7135-010) mainboarth, with an AMD Sempron 64(754) 3000+, VGA ASUS 6600GT 128Mb Pci-e
and all other normal things. This is the new things and I can't install WinXp with the Pci-e. I say this 'cause i've tried with an AGP VGA card and have no problem with the installation of WinXp. I've searched for a solution but nothing....
I hope you can help....
Tks.Quote from: joelsubtil on 29-May-06, 01:21:03
I've checked and Pciex is selected...
I've tried with a linux OS version and does the some thing, but the error that appears is relationed with the display controller.
I'm starting to think that that is really the problem.
why cant install? what you get? mobo dont have known problems with any PCI-E for now. probably your problem is coused by your PSU. AGP VGA which you are tried guess need less power that your ASSUS. can you give as more details about your system including PSU details? and more details about "cant install XP" what happed any msg ? just lockup? reboot?shutdown directly? using 10 of the same mobos with Galaxy 6600GE(GDDR-3) PCI-E modded to GT version. dont have any probs. possible reason is weak PSU at 1st look for now. your PC spec will be requred. -
hi, this is my friend pc,he have this problem; can't install winxp after change NEW MOBO .During installing WIN XP , the system keep rebooting,can't install the win xp. he PC is Duron 700 MHz, 256MB OEM RAM,PC CHIPS SIS 730S mobo (before)change to Shuutte VIA KLE133 MOBO(now). please tell me, what is problem will be happen,please.

I want to install winXP on my iMac. It has OS 10.7.2 and uses a 27" display. I will use Bootcamp and create a separate partion for winXP. Bootcamp instructions call for a single disk winXP CD with Service Pack 2 on it. My version has winXP on one disk and Service pack 2 on another. Will this be a problem? If it is, is there a solution?
Tnx...K6jpjIf you just bought an iMac a week ago new, it WILL NOT support XP unless XP is inside a virtual machine. End of story. You will need Windows 7 if you plan to run Windows natively on any Mac in 2011.
Used models will run XP, though--from the Intel inception in '06 through the middle part of 2010.
However, consider that Microsoft wants XP gone--and badly so--even as it is extending security hotfix support through April 2014. This gives you two years and four months before you have to throw down for whatever's current at that time.
Windows 7 will give you a much better experience (dare I say more Mac-like?) than XP, as it seems to be better organized. The Taskbar, for instance, has become more like the OS X Dock in that you can "pin" things to it in a straightforward manner, unlike XP's seldom-used Quick Launch traybar.
7's also built to take advantage of all the snazzy new hardware you now have.
But don't let me sell it to you. It's really your call.

How can i install solaris10 on my pc with winxp
hello
i m completely new to this os. can anyone let me know "how can i install solaris10 with winxp on second partion. is it as simple as installing two windows together. how much space will solaris require(i have only 40gb hard disk ).Fdisk your hard disk and create two partitions

Install Solaris onto the second - Solaris will install a bootloader which will allow you to select which OS to boot if you carry out the installs in that order. -
Trouble installing WinXP on a SATA drive on K9MM-V Mainboard
I am having some trouble trying to install WinXP on a K9MM-V. I have put a 250Gig SATA 300 drive set to 150 in channel 1 and an SATA DVD drive in channel 2. The BIOS appears to recognize both drives, but anytime I try to access the HD during the boot process I get this error:
Verifying DMI Pool Data ….
A disk read error occurred.
I set the CD as the first in the boot sequence and ran the WinXP installation and then installed the SATA PIDE drivers at the f6 prompt. When I chose the IDE emulation (non-raid) WinXP only recognized 135GB but then was able to format. When I rebooted, (having reset the BIOS boot order to HD first) the error appeared.
When I installed the RAID drivers, but let the SATA mode remain as IDE, Windows recognized the full disk, ran the format, but on reboot I had the same error.
I’m pretty sure that I have some BIOS configuration wrong, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Any advoce on things to look for would be appreciated.Quote from: Bas on 23-January-08, 16:46:49
You need to use XP SP2 in order to install on BIG drives.
OK, I thought that I would install XP sp1 then update, but I guess you need to slipstream the patch in. On the other hand, that disk read error threw me. It looked like it happened before Windows tried to load.
Thanks. -
Can I install WXP Professional on my Satellite P100?
Hello
I have the Satellite P100 - PSPA3C-SD300E laptop and I need to install Win Xp Pro
The laptop came with Win XP home but I need to use a few programs (Microsoft Virtual PC) that require Win XP Pro
Does anyone know of any known issues of using XP Pro on this laptop? I am going to take a guess that there are no issues since it is only 3 months old but I wanted to check.
It would be great if anyone has any views as I intend to upgrade tomorrow
Thanks in advance

If you want to install WinXP Pro you have to install firstly the OS and then all the Toshiba drivers and utilities in the right order.
The Win XP Home and Pro uses the same drivers. The difference between Pro and Home is not very big. The Pro has more administration and configuration functions which you can control yourself. The Home version was designed for common Windows users.
Anyway, what you have to do is to install the drivers after the Os installation and you should follow the installation guide line which you can find on the Toshiba driver page.

U400 - I can´t install Windows or even enter BIOS
Hello,
I have really big problems right now !
A few days ago I installed Ubuntu. I deleted all the default partitions. The U400 uses a double graphic card solution. It was really hard to configure that under Linux. Finally it worked but there where to many bad issues i.e.. heat problem AND OR a freezed shutdown.
I decided to go back to Win7. At this point my sad story begun.
I inserted the Win7 (64Bit) CD and tried to install. When it comes to the point expanding files I got the error: 0x80070570. The setup is not able to read or find needed files. I tried 2 different CDs. The CDs are burned images from MSDNAA Win7 (32Bit) and Win7 (64Bit).
Google says, that the error 0x80070570 have more possible causes i.e.. RAM-Problems.
I started ubuntu again from a USB stick and played around with gparted, trying to get a state like the default configuration. It all turned worse.
Then I read something about a RAID configuration in the BIOS but I am not able to enter it. When the U400 starts up I press FN + F2 but nothing happens. FN + F12 doesn't work either. The only way to enter the BIOS now is to press the "one key". When I do it the U400 turn on with a little blue menu where I can choose if I want to enter the setup.
Does any one of you have a idea how I can get the U400 working again? Ship it to Lenovo is the last what I want but I don't know what else to do. By the way, I never saw such a ugly system where the customer isn't able to create new partitions. In my opinion this is very user unfriendly -_- !
Thanks for your reading !
KalomHey,
here is my status so far. I tried to install WinXP and it worked. I was able to boot Win XP Prof. after it finished. After that I tried to Install Win 7 again but I got the same failure as before.
I Tried to install Ubuntu again to get memtest working. During the installation I got the error that the setup wants able to get >>grub install/dev/sdb<< working.
Now I try to get a running system to check the memory. (Start Ubuntu from USB Stick).
Here are some other may important info:
I am still unable to enter the BIOS with FN + F2. The only way is to press the OKR button. When I am in the BIOS at the first page there are no information about SSD and HDD.
