I dont know why your video didn't come up sooner. I've wasted so much time watching other naff videos that dont work. Thank you very much mate. Job done!!
I have tried so much options to try to install windows XP and other videos didn't work at all but when I found your video and tried it out, I was amazed!!! It worked so Great!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Best windows XP installation video ever!!! +1 Sub!!!!
Very, very useful. I have been strubbling with a different usb installation method for xp and not succeeding. I will try yours soon. Thank you very much!😀
You saved my life but how you may ask🤔 You see i never experienced windows xp on real hardware and other videos just doesn’t work But then you made this video it helped me out 100% Thank you ❤😊
everything ran smoothly than other vids but i had an error saying some programs im trying to installt arent passing Windows Xp Logo Testing. is it bad?
Thanks for the helpful video! I followed your steps and tried to boot from the USB on my Asus T100. I see two selectable options for drives; option 1 doesn't work, but option 2 does. However, I get a different screen than what you show in the video: i get an aGFM menu with different options (looks like a boot drive menu with tools/utilities, but no install options). Any suggestions?
@@blinddog1212 XP will only work if you Legacy boot. It sounds like your BIOS is UEFI-booting. You must disable secure boot and enable CSM (Compatability Support Mode) in the BIOS settings. Then boot from Partition 1 - not UEFI Partition 2.
@@jamesfmackenzieThere is also a program I use for the drivers called snappy driver, i suggest you make a video about this as well its a very great program for auto installation of the drivers
You can get Windows 2000 working, but the steps are (slightly!) more complicated: easy2boot.xyz/create-your-website-with-blocks/add-payload-files/windows-install-isos/windows-2000/ Good luck! 😎
@James Mackenzie thx because I'm not gonna be multibooting all those operating systems after 98 on a vm, I'm actually gonna do it on real hardware which is a laptop with 1tb, windows 7, 10 and 11 are checked off (sorry if their not in exact order but I will do 8 and 8.1) but thx for the info! 🙂👍
@@Windows_NT_Dude :-( Can you turn on ACPI in your BIOS? If not, try hitting F7 when windows text mode setup first starts. It should disable the ACPI hardware abstraction layer and revert to regular mode
@James Mackenzie I'll try f7 because well my laptop isn't new but not really old either but I couldn't enable acpi in it and so I'll use f7, I'll let you know if it works.
James, a few Qs. 1)When I extracted e2b and prepared usb, several other programs were also installed. Is there any way I can prevent this. 2) I can’t locate a clean XP iso and MS states that one was never created by them. Do you have a link to recommend for this. 3) I’m trying to load XP on an HP 800 mini Gen 3 that will not load from usb and I don’t see the iso. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the tutorial. But i have got 1 problem. I went succesfully from step 1 to step 2 but i have 1 problem i got to the hdd mapoing from 0 to 1 and it froze stayed like that until i restarted then i placed my usb in again and i booted from hard disk then i got to the windows Xp setup the GUI part now i am going to install to see what will happen.
Thanks. Wondering, any idea if there is a way to do this on a Mac in preparation for using on an Intel Mac? I have an emulator on a PowerPC Mac running Win98 with usb.
You are probably UEFI booting. XP only works in legacy/MBR/BIOS mode not UEFI. You must enable CSM legacy booting and boot to the USB drive. Note that XP does not work on modern (last 8 years or so) computers, so it may pr may not work on a newish computer even in CSM legacy mode.
Hi Comes up with red screen Installing grub4dos to PBR of G:... grubinst: Write error This could be the OS or another app locking the boot record, please run this program again with --lock and/or --unmount option(s) Press any key to continue . . .
Some AV software will block writes to the boot sector of a USB drive. Either configure your AV software to allow full access to the USB drive or temporarily disable it and reboot and try again. e.g. Acronis often installs such USB boot code write blocking services (even if you are installing a different Acronis product!
When i do step 1 it just says to use firadisk I have to press f6 but when I do it, it comes back to the step list. And when I do step 2 it says that I need to select new boot device but I don’t know which one it is that is going to my hdd
I have a Dell Optiplex 780, and I need to install XP on it to run some old software. I've gone through the process you outline, but I'm running into problems at the second install step. I THINK this is because there is already an installation of Windows 7 on the machine. Any suggestions?
Update - I created a partition on my C drive to install XP on - I'm fine with both XP and 7 being on this machine. Now on Easy2Boot I can see hd 0,0, 0,1 and 0,2. However I can't seem to point Easy2Boot at the new partition in the second step - if I type in hd0, Windows 7 boots up. If I type in hd0,2 I get an error.
Thanks for the video mate, got upto the part where its text based installer then i get blue screen about BIOS. did you change any bios settings? im trying to install on a HP z230, 120gb SSD, i7-4770, 8GB Ram if this helps
I having a hard time with my XP desktop. I have an old HP pavilion XT963 Windows XP PC Desktop. I am trying to turn it into a Linux, but the problem is some of the f keys for the bios are missing, I can't use the F12, and it will not boot from both a burned disk and USB for some unknown reason it won't respond. Can anyone help me?
Mine boots fine without the usb but needs global root and when I use the usb option 2 it either gets stuck on a black screen or setup is being restarted
Windows XP was invented before Windows 7/8/10/11 so it does not know anything about those OS's. So you cannot install Win 7 and then install XP, because XP does not know how to dual boot an OS that it hasn't seen before. If you want both you should first install XP and then install Windows 7/8/10.
