Windows xp blue screen install

Thanks for your feedback. What if I replaced the harddrive and didn't have the restore section on the original harddrive? Would the computer accept XP then? Is there something in the bios that affects the loading of XP?

General information about replacing Vista with XP: A. If there are no XP drivers, then you can't install XP. End of story.

Check with the OEM - either from their tech support website or by calling them - to see if you will void your warranty if you do this. If you will void the warranty, you make the decision. If the OEM does support XP on the machine, call them and see if you can have downgrade rights and have them send you an XP restore disk.

This will be far the easiest and best way of getting XP on the machine. Also understand that you will need to do a clean install of XP so if you have any data you want, back it up first. If none of the above is applicable to you because you can't run XP on that machine see Item 1 above , return the computer and purchase one running XP instead.

But then again I am getting a blue screen relating to a driver PCI. What the heck is this for? And how do I correct it? Is it at least SP2? Hello, I have a laptop with Vista home basic. SYS Uh what do I do from here? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question 4. Report abuse.

I'm running 2. I tried the driver with version 8. Still no luck. The situation is almost the same as jkeil's. I think it's wider than just slipstreamed.

Running 2. Sometimes I get bsod right after installing the drivers without even rebooting, while I'm still in the IDE mode. And after reboot with SATA enabled, the machine always aborts, while showing the start-up Windows logo screen. BTW, I wasn't able to use the F6 method. No matter what I did, the setup consistently couldn't find the hard disk despite me selecting the correct driver from the floppy.

Looks like a duplicate of I don't know whether 2. But this issue seems to be alive still. I've tried Intel's v8. I've attached the blue screen shot and log file. Thanks all the same. Actually, this is a duplicate of a "closed" bug that was never fixed. This bug is still present on VirtualBox 2.

Frank, you should be able to easily reproduce this. It's simple to produce. We are able to reproduce this issue and are working on it. But we have no clue what's causing it at the moment because SATA disks are working fine with Windows as long as they are not used for the operating system. This is still an issue with 2. I do not have a modern computer and I have never encountered a blue screen error when booting into the Windows XP installer.

Of course, if I create a new virtual machine with a version of Windows XP, it will work. From the test steps and the information I have found, the cause of this error is in the Controller type.

If you plug in USB 3. After enabling this option, you can boot into the Windows XP installation.
