Windows XP setup BSOD

snowdog · 12 Sep 2015 at 21:00

Hello,

I require windows XP as Citroens Lexia/diagbox software doesn't work properly on 7 or in a vm with xp.

I've swapped the ssd in my lappy to a new/empty one.
When I boot from the xp cd it will load a few drivers, and then BSOD with code 0x0...7b, which means inaccessible/unmountable boot drive, anyone know how to fix this ? I can't do a setup this way...

Can't it find my dvd drive after loading the drivers or something ?

I'm in the process of making a xp setup USB stick to retry. Anyone seen this problem before and know how to fix it ?

Try changing the SATA mode to Compatible in the BIOS.

Make sure you plug the stick into a USB 2 port, as XP doesn't have drivers for USB 3.

Well, USB method failed, I put an iso of xp + sp2 on the usb stick with Rufus, and it won't boot of it

.

Retrying now from cd with sata in IDE mode instead of ahci.

Ok IDE mode worked, XP doesn't even have ahci drivers built in? Pfft... Thanks for the suggestion!

I think it does if you remake the xp install disc with sp3 if i remember correctly. I think i might have downloaded the drivers and slip streamed them into a new install cd using nlite.

Find the AHCI drivers for your laptop for XP and use nlite to slipstream them in.

Also slipstream SP3 while you are at it.
