Don't know what slipstream is for instance. I too want to evict Win7, and replace with XP prof SP3, or one of the 'performance' versions around.īut I'm not as capable. I'm now in the process of downloading a different SP3, but it's getting late, and I'll report back tomorrow night what I'm able to come up with and what the (hopefully) final solution is. I applied the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers" version.
I did some digging and I think the issue is that I applied the wrong SP3 to the installer. Good news: I'm now able to get past the 'starting windows phase' and I'm not experiencing a blue screen.īad news: When I get to the point to type in my XP product code, the installer says it's not valid.

I've created a XP Pro + SP3 installer using Slipstream.

I've searched this subject a bit, but the answers I've been reading all state to set the SATA mode to IDE, and to add the SATA controller drivers to the installer, both of which I'm doing, yet I'm still getting a blue screen, so I'm looking for other suggestions as to how to overcome this.īrett928S2, I think your suggestion of reformatting the disk was half the issue - I connected the drive to another machine and reformatted it to NTFS again (using a full format, not a quick format).Īlabalcho, I already had the SATA controller set to IDE mode, but your tip on making an SP3 integrated install is helping as well. The only info about the crash on the blue screen says, The installer goes through the copying files stage (so all output is still in the DOS character mode, not the GUI/GDI mode/phase), and then blue screens.
I've tried a number of things, but generally, here's what I'm doing:ġ) I went onto Acer's web site and I downloaded the SATA drivers for my laptop.Ģ) I have a USB floppy drive so I copied the x86 drivers onto a floppy disk.ģ) I rebooted and changed the SATA Mode from ACHI to IDE.Ĥ) Set the boot startup to choose the DVD drive first.ĥ) Continued on and started the Win XP Pro install.Ħ) At the beginning of the install, I pressed F6 to specify additional driversħ) When prompted, I then selected the "Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller" driverĨ) I then continued on with the installation I have an Acer 5750Z laptop and I'm attempting to install Windows XP Pro onto it (I have some older programs which aren't compatible w/Win7, and updates for them don't exist).
