@Zoso

I use vmdk2vhd tool found here:

http://www.softpedia.../Vmdk2Vhd.shtml

The spdrvscn utility is useful since the DevicePath registry key must contain enumerated sub-directories and not only the topmost directory.

Edit: with this setting, when booted on new machines, drivers for new hardware are automatically installed (from DriverPacks expanded in c:\D directory).

OK, and can you boot that VHD on the SSD machine and what driver does it use in that case ?

 

It would be interesting if you can solve your hardware detect issue encountered in direct XP Setup in VHD on SSD machine.

 

After booting with XP VHD on SSD machine, then can you run

 

VHD_XP_Setup\POST_FIX\SaveHwids.exe

 

and post here the produced file HWIDs.txt , so that I can study hwids related to SSD

 

@ktp

 

It would be nice to know if your SSD hwid can be found in the MassStorage DriverPack

@wimb

 

In fact the SSD is seen is a plain SATA hard disk, the problem I encounter was probably due to the execution from VMware environment to real hardware (different chipset, CPU?), where there is no screen displayed. I then run the process on real USB hard disk, then copy back to the VHD the 3 directories (Windows, Program Files and Documents and Settings), then it works.

How about direct Install of XP in VHD prepared by VHD_XP_Create.exe

 

Does it work for you now by only using real hardware and no vmware ?

@wimb

Unfortunately, with real hardware, VHD in internal disk, ISO with DriverPacks five components integrated (CPU, Chipset, Mass storage, LAN, WLAN), I still get the black screen after "Setup is starting Windows". So I do not expect direct install to VHD in USB hard disk would work.

@ktp

 

Thanks for testing. Did you check by using SaveHwids.exe that SSD hwid is found in MassStorage DriverPack ?

 

The only thing left is trying other hardware e.g. machine with SATA harddisk instead of SSD

Could you tell me how to do this? SaveHwids.exe gives me a txt file with PID/VID. How can I match it with MassStorage DriverPack?

- Extract MassStorage DriverPack for XP x86

- Search with XP in folder D\M for files containing text of Compatible  ID for your SATA or IDE Controller

 

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4380 found in file amdhdc.inf

 

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E02&CC_0106 found in file iaAHCI.inf

 

If you attach your HWIDs.txt then I can check if your hwids can be found in MassStorage DriverPack

I found the following from SaveHwids.exe output:

============
RAID Devices
============
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C03&SUBSYS_13271043&REV_05\3&11583659&0&FA

1 matching device(s) found.

=> found in :
\M\I5\cougahci.inf
\M\I7\iaAHCI.inf
\M\I6\iaAHCI.inf

Since my chipset is Intel® 6 Series/C200 Chipset, I assume that cougahci.inf is used. How can I progress?

Use rightclick to mount your XP Setup ISO in ImDisk Virtual drive

 

Open I386\TXTSETUP.SIF

 

Search for PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C03

 

In [HardwareIdsDatabase] section it should be found as PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C03&CC_0106="iastor7"

Is that OK ?

 

Check also if mounted ISO has files OEM\DPM1209.7Z and I386\PRESETUP.CMD and I386\IASTOR7.SY_

Is that OK ?

I just verified: everything is OK (the two points you mentioned).

Other information: on creating XP virtual machine under VMWare, if I chose latest hardware (VMware version 9), Setup hang identically. If I chose older hardware (e.g. VMware version 6), XP setup is OK.

OK, thanks for testing.

So we know that in principle the driver could be found and for some unknown reason it does not work yet .....

 

Did you try to change BIOS Settings for SATA Controller use IDE (or Compatible) instead of AHCI or RAID ?

 

Then remains to try Install of XP in VHD on computer with other hardware .....

*** Update VHD_XP_Setup_77 - Install XP in VHD ***
 
 
 

- Update  - VHD_XP_Create.exe - In Grub4dos Menu use phony RAMDISK for WinVBlock to find XP Setup ISO file

 
  This is needed to prevent BSOD 44 when XP Setup ISO file is NOT loaded into RAM
  Thanks to  genetix and steve6375  http://reboot.pro/to...tage-2-install/

 

- Added   - ImgBurn as useful program to make bootable XP Setup ISO file

- Changed - Program Version - latest version is 7.7

 
 
:cheers:

*** Update VHD_XP_Setup_78 - Install XP in VHD ***
 
Download VHD_XP_Setup_78 - http://reboot.pro/fi...5-vhd-xp-setup/
 
Update of USB_XP_Fix.exe - Added USB 3.0 boot support for booting XP VHD from USB
 
Install USB 3.0 Drivers for XP from folder Windows\DriverPacks\C\U as integrated by DPs_BASE.exe by using KTD option.
This will add Services and CriticalDeviceDatabase Registry Values 
and according to KTD we Set DevicePath in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Add about 6 MB for 16 extra Drivers to boot from USB 3.0

amdhub30, amdxhc, asmthub3, asmtxhci, EtronHUB3, EtronXHCI, FLxHCIh, FLxHCIc, 
nusb3hub, nusb3xhc, rusb3hub, rusb3xhc, tihub3, tixhci, ViaHub3, xhcdrv
 
Etron(EtronHUB3 + EtronXHCI) and Fresco(FLxHCIh + FLxHCIc) and VIA(ViaHub3 + xhcdrv)
require still improvement of the registry, but all other USB 3.0 drivers are expected to work.
 
If you have Etron, Fresco or VIA USB3.0 hardware working OK for XP, 
then I would like to receive the Exported Registry for the mentioned Services,
so that I can improve the registry in my program packages by adding the missing Parameters and WDF Service registry. 
 
:cheers:

Error 60: File for drive emulation must be in one contiguous disk area

 

Such error indicates that the Target System Drive where your VHD is Created 

does NOT have enough free unfragmented space which can occur when the drive is too fragmented or the free space is too small.

 

You can try to use WinContig.exe to defragment the created VHD file.

WinContig is available e.g. here http://reboot.pro/fi...ct-make-mini-7/

 

If not possible then improve your Target System Drive by making more free space and using Piriform Defraggler - Portable

This is normal.

You just wait few minutes until hardware is recognized and

then blue screen appears that allows you to select your VHD as target for install of XP 

and then Setup continues with blue screen to copy files ...

 

XP-1.vhd has already NTFS compressed format, so you should NOT format at Setup, just keep settings
